A true miracle journey with Pup N Boots, Bobbie Daluz & Belle!…read moreWe have always been a family that believes in the power of love. A love that extends not just to our fellow human beings, but to the voiceless, the innocent & the often forgotten. Our recent adoption of a puppy from Pups n Boots, under the caring guidance of Bobbie DaLuz, has been a testament to this belief. From the moment we initiated contact with Pups n Boots, we were met with nothing but warmth, professionalism & a genuine sense of care for the animals they rescue. Bobbie is a true angel in disguise, dedicating her life to rescuing pregnant dogs & puppies from Mexico, ensuring they receive the vital urgent veterinary care & surgeries they need to survive & thrive. Our puppy arrived in Connecticut in excellent health, thanks to the private transport arranged by Pups n Boots and our family. The journey from San Diego was seamless, each step meticulously planned to ensure our new family member's safety & comfort. The level of commitment that Bobbie & the Pups n Boots team demonstrated throughout this process is truly inspiring. They go above & beyond the call of duty to save these precious lives & give them a chance at a better future. But it's not just about the animals. It's also about the people they bring together. We've felt a sense of community, of shared purpose & of love that we hadn't anticipated. In adopting our puppy, we've also become part of a larger family - the Pups n Boots family. If you're considering adopting a pet, we wholeheartedly recommend Pups n Boots & the amazingly wonderful Bobbie DaLuz. Your life will be enriched, your family expanded & your heart warmed by the experience. And if you have the means to donate to this amazing cause, please do. Every penny goes toward ensuring these dogs receive the medical care they need & finding them loving homes. Your contribution could save a life & there's no greater gift than that. We're eternally grateful to Bobbie & her team for bringing us our new puppy. They've not only given us a new family member, they've shown us the true meaning of kindness, compassion & love. Adopt from Pups n Boots. Donate to Pups n Boots. Be a part of a brighter future for these animals. Be a part of Bobbie's miracle. We are so incredibly grateful!

We have been adopting our pets from PAWS for over 12 years, and every experience has been…read morewonderful. We have loved every pet we've adopted, and their customer service has always been exceptional. A few months ago, we fostered and then adopted two kitten brothers. Just a few weeks after the adoption was finalized, we discovered that one of the kittens had a diaphragmatic hernia. The first veterinarians we saw gave us a nearly $10,000 estimate for emergency surgery and told us that our 3-month-old kitten had only a slim chance of surviving. They even suggested we consider euthanasia. Our family was absolutely heartbroken. In desperation, we reached out to PAWS, hoping they might be able to help since they had originally cared for and adopted out our kitten. They went above and beyond anything we could have expected. They stayed in constant communication with us, helped coordinate care with a veterinary team that could perform the surgery for a fraction of the cost, and even contributed $1,500 toward the procedure. Their kindness, compassion, and support meant the world to our family. Thanks to PAWS, our kitten made a full recovery. Today, he's perfectly healthy, full of energy, and finally catching up on all the growing and playing he missed while he was sick. We will always be grateful to PAWS for giving our little guy a second chance at life. Thank you for everything you do for the animals and the families who love them.

I contacted this rescue about a dog listed as "foster-to-adopt only," then was told the dog was…read morealready in an active foster-to-adopt placement. The listing did not indicate any "pending" status. I understand not removing animals until adoption is final, but adding a simple status label (pending/hold/backup applications welcome) would prevent people from applying under the impression the dog is still available. The lack of transparency and the response to that feedback left a bad impression.

All organizations are going to have their own "rules" and way of doing things, some make complete sense, some don't and I have to say that all of the rules and guidelines P4P have in place make complete sense for the safety and well-being of the dogs. They have a great foster support system where we share both the wins and the struggles of fostering and rescue. Reading some of the negative reviews on here really surprise me and show that many people don't know what goes in to rescue. One commenter talked about P4P basically being a breeder because she felt the puppy adoption fee exceeded what the rescue paid towards the dog and that the rescue was trying to make a profit. There are absolutely no profits in rescue and I can assure you that the P4P partners and long-term fosters have put in substantial time and money to saving dogs. Any adoption fee money that *may* have exceeded the actual expenses of the dog are going right towards saving another dog. If a medical dog comes in and needs a $5k surgery, it's adoption fee isn't going to be $5k and those costs can be offset by the adoption fees of the dogs that didn't need as much medical care. This reviewer recommended you go to your local "shelter" instead and you know what? We support that too because a lot of what we do is promoting dogs in shelters! People volunteering in rescue have one goal - get animals into loving homes! Rescue can be emotionally draining and it definitely isn't for everyone. Every rescue isn't going to be a fit for everyone and I have chosen not to work with one of the rescues I previously fostered for. However, if you want to get involved, Passion for Pitties is a great rescue and offers lots of ways for people to help, even if they aren't in a place to be able to foster or adopt.

I am fostering this beautiful angel pittie Luna because of the help of this organization. They…read morestepped in and helped save her life (she was in a kill shelter) and coordinated to bring us together. I have PTSD and with Luna around I finally feel safe enough to sleep. She's sweet and strong, very playful and protective. I panicked when I first got her though and felt overwhelmed. She's high energy and I hadn't slept in months. Passion for Pitties didn't give up on me or let me give up on Luna. They didn't hold it against me when I panicked, they just encouraged me and held me accountable and helped me be a better foster/human. They provided support and covered costs for things such as food, a crate, toys, etc. I see some criticism on these reviews. We must applaud what they have accomplished. I didn't see anyone else around when Luna needed saving. And at the end of the day, that's the point--to rescue these beautiful, majestic, sweet, misunderstood dogs. Remember *passion* is the name. They are passionate people as are pit bulls. Which can be bold and intense but it's also motivating and inspiring and beautiful.

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!
