    Liz I.

    Our little lady Hazel is from St. Pacos rescue. The adoption process went very smoothly and I love that we got to spend a day with her in our house as part of the home visit, before deciding to officially adopt her. She is the light of our life and we are very grateful for St. Pacos and the good work they do.

    We met our fur baby through TAP at an adoption event in San Diego, and it was such a special…read moreexperience. The event was great. We got to meet a lot of adorable dogs, and one little guy instantly stole our hearts. What really stood out was how thoughtful and thorough TAP's process is. There was no pressure to adopt on the spot, which we really appreciated. After the event, we completed an application and received clear next steps. The following week, our foster brought him to our home so we could spend more time together. That confirmed everything we felt at the event. TAP conducted a home visit and checked our references, and it was clear throughout the process that they truly care about the well being of their animals and making the right match. Our foster was amazing, so kind and supportive. When we brought our little guy home, she sent him with his toys, some food, and a sweet note, which meant so much to us. Such a wonderful experience overall, and now our home is filled with love, laughter, and lots of snuggles.

    I will sing their praises to anyone who listens! I adopted the very sweetest baby girl-formerly…read moreMadonna, now Bree- three weeks ago. It was love at first sight!!! Where do I start with the excellent care and customer service?! One of the many things I loved is that most of the dogs in their care are in foster homes. So there is so much time, training and attention to each pup that you simply can't get with a shelter. Breezy was mostly potty trained, had time around other dogs to learn how to behave, and so much was known about her behaviors and care. I just adored her amazing foster Mommy, Alex! She let us come to her home and spend an hour meeting both puppies (it was originally between her and her brother, Elvis, who is also a doll!!! Someone PLEASE scoop up that cutie!). I came with a list of questions and she answered every last one in detail and was so patient. I'm forever grateful for the wonderful love and care Alex put into my beautiful girl before I got her. From the application process to the actual adoption it was roughly a week and a half. I was surprised at how fast they were able to move and pleasantly so. I was contacted via email and text at all different parts of the adoption process by various volunteers- Joelle, Deborah, Jen, Alex and Breana are a few of the wonderful women I spoke to, but there was so many more involved. Each and every individual was knowledgeable on Breezy's care and her life before The Animal Pad. However short lived that was. Bree came spayed, had her first round of shots and was even microchipped! Which was a huge selling point for me. You know how expensive those all are out of pocket?!! It's worth every last penny of the $500+ I paid to know she was well cared for before I got her! She's the most loving and easy baby I've ever had! They even came and picked up the old things I had from my former soul baby, Adonis. It was heartbreaking to let the last reminders of him go. But I met some of the kindest humans in the process- Jen and her hubby. With an empathetic ear and even a hug I was left with a sense of comfort in that difficult moment. Knowing Adonis's things will go to good use is far more valuable than any monetary value I may have gotten for any of it. They were happily surprised at all that I was sending and came to me to scoop it all up! The Animal Pad is a rescue full of animal people who do this because it nourishes the soul! Not for profit! They do not discriminate if you live in an apartment, have had a bad experience where you have to return a former adoptee, are actively planning a family or any other reason that I'd been denied from two other rescues. I'd begun to lose hope in finding a new baby to love, until Animal Pad. Now I have the very best fit and I see clearly I simply wasn't meant to have any other puppers aside from Bree! We were meant for each other and she is deeply adored!! THANK YOU to everyone at The Animal Pad!!! You are one of the good ones and I'll continue to sing your praises to all that'll listen! I'm forever grateful to each and every one of you!

    We had such a wonderful experience here today and I felt compelled to share. Our family has been…read moregoing through a challenging time, and we were hoping to give my daughter a small moment of joy by seeing some animals. Fanila (I hope I'm spelling that correctly!), Elizabeth and the entire team were incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make my kids feel comfortable and special, taking the time to let them safely see and interact with the guinea pig, hamster, chinchilla, bunny, and even a chicken. You could tell how much they genuinely care -- not just about the animals, but about the people who walk through their doors. Thank you Magnifico, Daddy Hamster, Chichi, Chili, Dave and Grace Omali In a time where we really needed a little lightness, this meant more than I can fully express. Their compassion and warmth did not go unnoticed. Thank you again for creating such a special moment for our family. We will always remember it! Carolina, Sam, Amelia and Sammy

They help bond your current rats w/ the new ones, a service I've never experienced before. I am so incredibly thankful that they are able to facilitate this, so that you don't get all the way home only to find out no one wants to be friends. They also have everything you could possibly need for your pets at amazing prices. AND they offer board and care which is so hard to find for small animals! I can't say enough good things about this place. I will definitely be back many, many more times.

Clean and well organized, Pet Me Please sells pet toys, food, and all of your needed supplies. Prices are reasonable-Magic Coat all-in-one finishing shears, $15.99. The expandable to 14" thicker collar just $12.99. Metered parking, 20 minute free parking space right in front of the store. Handicapped parking very nearby. Bus, walk, bicycle.

It was also a plus that they carried the food brand that my dog likes to eat. They only have street parking which is paid, but if you are only going to be there to pick up some food, I don't think it will be an issue without paying. However, this place is located near other shops so you might want to explore the area while you're in town. There were some clothing shops and record shops and restaurants. I would've figured that the price point would be a little bit higher since this is a little bit more boutique, but the price was fair and comparable to Petco or PetSmart. The had variety of dog and cat food brands that you will see in other boutique store or large stores so this could be your one stop shop for your pets. Overall we were able to find what we needed and my dog enjoyed her visit here.

    The Hope2K9 adoption experience was exceptional…read more The pup that we rescued (Freyja) was full of love and nervous energy. We decided to rescue her a few days before Hope2K9 had an open spot to start her training. When we brought Freyja home from the rescue we learned that she was part shark and part sled dog. On our first walk she was trying to pull us up the street with the force of an entire team of sled dogs. When we got home from the walk we gave her a "indestructible dog toy" which she managed to destroy within 5 minutes. At this point we were nervous about the potential challenges we were going to be facing with training. During the 3 week training process Cam kept us updated on our pups progress. The second night we received a short video of Cam walking a well behaved Freyja. The 2 in person training sessions were well organized and covered all the commands and how to leverage the training tools used to train our pup. The experience did not end with the 3 week training because Hope2K9 has been there to answer our questions.

It has been one year since I adopted Maddie and that is why this review is over due! Hope2k9 trains rescued dogs, teaches them good manners and social skills. I couldn't be more pleased with finding my forever best friend. I definitely will go back to foster or adopt another dog. Not only do they work very hard at training they also allow you to visit for more training if you want. This is a wonderful rescue and I couldn't be more happier with my pup!

My wife and I discovered and saved a small dog on freeway 5. San Diego. It turned out to be on its way to Lionel's who routinely travels to Orange County to save senior dogs. The Transporter broke protocol and lost the dog and she was in the freeway. Lots of well meaning folks tried to help but unless you have animal training your instincts may tell you to do the wrong thing. My wife taught me about these things and we attained the dog. The owner of the rescue provided the necessary documentation to show the dog's transfer ownership and spoke with my wife. We met her and after two days settling the sweet dog, she went on her way to reunite with her mates. She does not have a new home yet but with a great personality like hers and rescues like ours and Lionel's she'll have a bright future with mates and loving little dog stewards! Thanks Laura! Lionel's it is for a great senior dog!
