I've been to several shelters in the past year to adopt and it's been up and down. I went here on a Saturday after work and brought home my fur ever baby girl. I'm a proud happy fur mom . This is the happiest day of my life . I cried so many tears of joy when I was able to adopt my new female dog. I named her Sasha. Previously known as Oldsmobile. Sasha is the absolute sweetest girl ever. Sasha is what my heart needed. As a puppy she is very smart. Introducing to crate has been fairly well. Eating wow this girl can eat, run, do sprints around the house, yard and is super excited. I am too lol. Potty training is going very well in the morning she wakes me up with kisses to say she has to go and stands by door we go out. We have a routine. Totally recommend Homeward Per adoption to everyone. You will never be disappointed. The accept donations from you if your pet has passed away, been surrendered or you just want to donate, food, toys, supplies for dogs and cats. Well, I could continue to give praises all day. Gotta go mommy duty is calling.

I waited through a list of 8 people and when I got to the top i was randomly dropped to number 5 again. I waited again. the third time i was at the top, I went to the adoption center they said my name was nowhere on the list at all. it went on and on! I was there for 2 hours of this. I know that you are underfunded but really--why is this so bizarrely inept and broken? Just make a PAPER LIST and call us, like a restaurant hostess would do. We didn't adopt, but we will from a good organization. And the place we adopt from will also receive our donation money.

I was in a pretty helpless position as I was not due to be home for several days. My son came up with a great idea and checked online to see if our dog had been found and turned in to the RASKC. Sure enough, she was there. My wife went down the next morning, paid the fee and picked her up. She had been well treated, and we are very thankful that they found her and gave her a good safe place until we could come get her. My son said that she was so excited to see him. She cried and whined, and fell asleep in his arms in the car. Thank you very much

They are given water and food on regular schedules. We have adopted from Seattle Humane two times now. I would've given them 5 stars except for this policy of letting potential adopters take their time keeping a dog on hold while others wait. Here was our recent experience: We found, met, played with a dog that we instantly loved and would've adopted immediately. But we were told that these three sisters (or maybe they were friends) had put their name in ahead of us to visit with this same dog. However, this group of 3 girls also had put in their name to see two other dogs. So Seattle Humane told us we had to wait until these girls visited with all three dogs and then we had to wait until they made up their minds! There was NO TIME LIMIT for them to decide. We are experienced dog owners and have been for 50 years. We knew we wanted this particular dog. She was gentle, got along with kids and other dogs, etc etc. TWO HOURS LATER ( no exaggeration), those three girls decided they wanted the dog that we wanted. We were happy for them, but why did Seattle Humane waste our time? Why didn't they have time limits? These girls wanted to look at all three dogs. What if they wanted to look at 10? I asked if Seattle Humane could call us if the dog was available and we could go home and wait. They said no they don't do things like that. I'll always donate to them because of the animals. Not because of this idiotic policy of letting potential owners take their time. And btw, they don't vet potential owners like other rescues do. I wish they would for the sake of the animal.

only saw the cat side and they looked to be well taken care of and in clean enclosures, but as…read moreother reviews have stated the problem is with the people. it might be more accurate to say "policy" in this case though. we went on a saturday, showing up around 4 pm when it "closes" at 6. it actually closes at 4. you need to meet the cats to adopt them and you could not schedule a meeting after 4 pm because they were "cleaning up for the day". WHY are you open til 6 if you dont even do anything past 4? on top of that it is $210 to adopt a kitten, $100 smthn for a 1-7 year old, and $75 for a senior if i'm remembering correctly. these are some of the most expensive prices from any shelter i've seen, and you have FOUR HOURS a day to show up, meet the animal you want to adopt, and decide you want to adopt them. and most of the days they're open are weekdays, when the hours they're open do mot WORK for most people with jobs! so if you show up at 4 pm on a saturday to meet a kitten like us, you cant actually adopt them and told "oh just come when we open at noon on tuesday!" that is insane, genuinely. also it's called seattle humane when it's in bellevue and as someone from actual seattle that annoys me :)

We've been customers of Denny's Pet World for decades (mostly for fish), but today's visit reminded…read moreme that I haven't given credit where it's due. Last year, our kids were given two gerbils who were around four years old, so when nature took its course (RIP Nibbles and Snugs), they were heartbroken. After holding a memorial service and cleaning out the cage, they looked up at me with hopeful eyes and a "Dad... do you think maybe...?" Yeah yeah, OK. There are lots of big box pet stores in the area, but I'm making the assumption that a smaller local shop likely treats their animals better and hopefully sources more ethically too. In any case, I'd rather shop local when I can and the prices are competitive. I called to see if they had any gerbils available and Aela let us know that they had some males in store. She said to ask for her when we came by. About an hour later, we dropped by and found Aela. She brought the gerbils out in their enclosure and was great not only with the animals, but my very excited children as well. She answered our questions and seemed to really enjoy her job, which makes it so much more fun for everyone involved. She took care of getting them in a box with some bedding and sent us off with smiles all around. I'm so thankful that Denny's is part of the neighborhood, and for great employees like Aela who make the experience fun.

They give accurate descriptions of their dogs because they want their dogs to truly fit in their new families. The fosters also train and help the dogs learn how to be a family member. Forgotten Dogs rescued our dog the day before she was going to be put down. She was overlooked at the animal shelter because she was cowering in the back of her cage, was droopy from having nursed puppies and she is a black dog. Her mid-section firmed up and she gained confidence and really blossomed with the security of her foster home. She is an incredible dog, cute, smart, and is very expressive. She is popular everywhere she goes. Follow them on Instagram @forgottendogsrescue to see their dogs and when appropriate many of their posts are humorous. I highly recommend Forgotten Dogs Rescue they have a lot of integrity and are knowledgeable, reputable, responsible, kind, helpful, supportive and loving rescue.

Our family adopted through True North Rescue and had a fabulous experience…read more From start to finish its clear the organization is fully dedicated to the highest standard of welfare for the dogs they rescue. Many people and organizations we encountered treat animals, especially dogs, as a transactional commodity they are entitled to buy and "own" at their discretion. Not True North. Their approach includes temperament testing the dogs, assessing what type of family may be the best fit for their needs, a thorough and highly detailed interview and application process for all prospective adopters, multiple meet and greets to ensure ideal placement, and extensive follow up after the dog has been homed. This process ensures that what's good for the family, but ultimately what's best for the dog, is the final outcome. While it is time consuming, and not all families are open to being held to this type of standard, personally we couldn't be happier with the outcome. The end result is a happy, well adjusted dog, expertly incorporated into a family who will work to give them the best life they deserve. Post placement we continue to be impressed with the practically 24 hour on call support and encouragement their officers provide and have on multiple occasions turned to them for guidance on how to ensure a happy and healthy home for our whole pack. The officers and board who run the organization are tireless in their efforts, spending nights and weekends dedicated to the rescue and the dogs they serve. Each team member we met was compassionate, professional, and dedicated advocate for GSDs and their welfare. Anyone considering adopting a GSD or looking for a worthwhile cause to support financially (they survive off donations as a non-profit!) I highly recommend True North!

I also appreciated that Justyna continued to support us after the adoption. Olive was barking a lot during crate training, and they were ready to give me tips and advice. I could tell they were super committed to finding the right fit for the dog but also to supporting me. I am now looking to adopt again and have loved that they host meet and greets at local breweries and wineries. I also really like that they continually update their dog listings as the foster family learns more about each dog. I feel like when I look at the listings, I can learn a lot about the dog and feel like they keep it real. Excited to hopefully adopt with them again very soon!

I cannot say enough good things about Forever Home Dog Rescue. From the application process to…read moremeeting my dog, it was clear how much they truly care about the animals they rescue. What stood out most was how thoughtful and thorough they are. They do not just let any dog go to anyone. They ask questions, learn about your lifestyle, family, and living situation, and help make sure it is the right fit for both the dog and the adopter. They truly want every dog to find a forever home. I originally came in to meet a specific dog, but Sarah and Eliz helped me think through whether that dog was really the best fit for me, my family, and the dog. Their honesty and care meant so much. Sarah, one of the volunteers, spent over three hours helping people, answering questions, supporting the animals, and making thoughtful matches. She helped match me with the perfect dog for my family, and I am so thankful for her time and patience. Eliz, who runs the rescue, clearly pours her heart into these animals and advocates hard for every one of them. After visiting in person, I have an even deeper respect for rescue work. The volunteers give their weekends, time, and energy to help animals who need someone to fight for them. I will absolutely continue supporting Forever Home Dog Rescue and encouraging others to rescue instead of shop. Especially from this rescue.
