    The receptionist I spoke with was very condescending and rude. Learn customer service before you start answering a phone at a business.

    TAPS is a private, no-kill shelter. As such, they have implemented strict rules regarding…read moreadoption. It starts with completing an application for adoption! A person will be informed if s/he is acceptable as an adoption candidate. Further, that adoption approval is not permanent, there is an end date about four months out or so. Although I understand their desire to screen people, I wish they could develop a less "encountering" method. Further, it believe it would be helpful were some customer service training be initiated. Given the one star ratings, I can only assume the majority of the people's interaction with TAPS is an off-putting experience. That said, they do take good care of the animals. The dog I adopted from TAPS was at their shelter for years and was with a foster family before I adopted her. She's a Staffy at 51.8#'s of well-behaved love. It's obvious TAPS took good physical and mental care of her. And in defense of TAPS' uber-caution, my dog is attractive and could well get adopted by someone who isn't able to manage her.

    You will find here at TAPS, amazing affordable fees for adoptable pets, as well as many potential…read morepets to choose from. What you will not find, is transparency or understanding. Upon application approval, I was told my choice dog was not allowed for adoption under ASSUMPTION, no DNA knowledge, no testing, but assumption the breed was that of an aggressive breed (pitbull). My landlord, had approved this dog after questioning as neither of us saw Pitbull Terrier in the mix. Upon asking for DNA testing, I was told this is a post adoption process. When asked if there is no definitive way to tell her breed, when I may visit the dog in question? (Nacho Fries). It is only now, I find out there is a line ahead of me for an animal to come home. Rather than operating in home readiness and preparedness post approval, it is a First Come First Serve basis. Which, for a No Kill Shelter? Seems to be a relatively poor processing style. I would have loved to walk away with this sweet girl, but upon a return call to potentially look at another available dog? The same circumstances. No understanding of when the visit is scheduled if I can leave with my new companion that same day, nothing. I completely find a accumulative 2.5 star rating to this facility to be unremarkably kind.

    My family and I had been searching for a new companion after my beloved dog passed away in November…read more2024 from cancer. I happened to stumble across a dog named Finneas through Foster Pet Outreach on PetFinder that I absolutely fell in love with. I immediately filled out the adoption application, and even though their application states they typically prefer adopters to be within a certain distance from them, I took a chance (we live in Wisconsin) and within a day I received a response. I got in contact with Finneas' foster mom (who was very responsive and sweet!) We drove down that week to meet him, and the staff was very helpful and answered all our questions, had all of his vet records available and even provided us some essentials to go home with. Two months later he is the best addition that I could have ever asked for. Overall, we had an amazing experience with this rescue, and I highly recommend!

I…read morealready had four dogs and zero intentions of adopting another but this dog just drew me into her orbit and I was a goner. Andi, my sunshine dog, brings light to my life every day. While talking to the rescue folks I uttered the fateful words "you know, I always thought I'd like to foster..." and that's all it took. They knew a sucker when they saw one. I'm happy to report, dozens of successfully placed fosters and five more foster fails later, I am living my best life. You'll see a few negative reviews here for FPO and I can truly understand, as it can be very disappointing when an adoption doesn't work in your favor. To that I can only respond that as an organization placing dogs whos previous owners have abandoned, neglected and/or abused them, we have to be highly selective in our placements. The animals in our care have already been failed once, twice and sadly, sometimes multiple times. Choices have to be made and because the animals cannot speak for themselves, we have to speak for them and try hard to match their needs to the adopter. And when a particular animal has multiple qualified applicants, someone will always be disappointed. Most are mature enough not to write a bad review because they weren't chosen. The organization runs on only volunteer efforts and donated funds. We lose money in every adoption because we spend extensively on vetting to get the animals in the best health they can be to go to their new homes. Our contract - which every adopter signs - states upfront our fees are non/refundable-which is the standard in the industry. And to Tim B, there was definitely a miscommunication. When you told us of your several upcoming trips and how you wouldn't be ready for a few more weeks/months to adopt, we took that to mean that while you were interested in the dog, you had other previous plans which understandably took priority over the adoption. Like you, we absolutely want what is best for the animal, in fact, it guides our every choice. You'll be happy to know this particular dog found a wonderful home. They also had vast experience with special needs dogs and even better, were ready to adopt at that time.
