My vet wanted $150 to do the micro chip and register pup for only one year. I found the Garden State Animal Rescues micro chip clinic and I am glad I did! They were so kind and personable to deal with. They came to my house to do the injection and they registered my pup with home again for life! The fee? $30 because I live in monmouth county! Not only did they do that service, but they gave me info on training and suggested a probiotic for my puppy's upset stomach. Cannot say enough good about them! Thank you so much Garden State Animal Rescue!

such a wonderful adoption experience! i noticed the newest edition to our family online, and…read moreinstantly fell in love. quickly filled out a simple adoption application. had a phone interview, scheduled a visit, and voila- i've got a new little furry love and a giant gift basket of amazing toys to get us started! the process was super simple, and the volunteers are just fabulous. they're very sweet, and knowledgeable- and they put no pressure on us to adopt. once we made the decision that the little fella was a good fit for our family, we had a couple more papers to fill out, and we were on our way. today, our new little monkey bean is happily getting used to his new surroundings (and new big brother). we couldn't be more thrilled with how things turned out. it's true, if they determine that your home is not the best fit for the animal, they reserve the right to reject your application, and rightfully so. you're a complete stranger who comes out of nowhere looking for a defenseless animal to take home. even with the best intentions, there are too many people out there who bite off more than they can chew when it comes to the commitment of taking care of an animal (a commitment that can last upwards of 20+ years- and the last years are generally very trying). i'm grateful for their educated discretion, and i would have been even if they'd have rejected my application. if they felt that i couldn't provide the home that that specific animal needed, i'd have to trust that they knew the animal better than i. from my experience, its a wonderful organization. i'm glad that everything worked out the way that it did. will post pics as soon as the little monkmeister gets settled in- it won't be long, judging by how things are going. thanks volunteer auxiliary!

In turn, the animals are left for a long time without permanent homes. In my situation, I had a perfectly good, loving home for one of their dogs, but was denied because I live in Staten Island only 35 miles away. I offered to pay for all travel expenses for them to conduct the home visit. But they said they just "don't like NY." I even suggested another reputable rescue group to conduct the home visit and report back to them, but they claimed they are the only trustworthy people to decide where the dog should live. I offered a donation and they refused it. What type of small organization does that? They then went on to say because I work, I shouldn't have a dog. Meanwhile, I get home at 3 everyday. They then said because I never had a dog I shouldn't have one. They even said the dog I wanted to adopt requires another dog as a playmate, which was not listed in his profile. This is the type of organization that gives other rescue groups a bad name. Groups like this are the reason why people buy from puppy mills. They make it impossible for good people to adopt while doing an injustice to the animals. This place should be shut down.

I also wanted to mention how easy the trapping process was (we first met Andrea and became aware of the organization when we needed to trap a bunch of feral kittens behind our house). After showing us how to do it, we have since trapped six cats needing care and it couldn't have been a simpler process! If you are looking to adopt an animal or need help trapping, I would highly recommend Rescue Ridge.

The kitten I adopted had extensive medical issues. Ear mites (I didn't know the symptoms when I first got my guy, but in retrospect it was obvious when I got him), digestive issues (diarrhea, vomiting), inbreeding. Despite a clause in the adoption contract that Res-Q-Pets would cover all medical costs related to health issues existing before adoption, they covered one vet visit then became non-responsive.

Even years later when I ran into her, she remembers which cats I adopted. She's definitely in the cats business because of her love for feline. I would give Beth ten stars if I could!!

The first "parents only" class was incredibly informative and was a good way for us to gain some understanding in how our dog thinks and behaves. Nicole and Cheryl were both so incredibly patient with all of the pets and puppy parents. We learned valuable skills and practice often at home! Had we not moved out of state, we would have continued to keep going to classes and socials at Heavenly Hounds! Even with our move, Nicole helped us find a dog training school near our new home to continue working and building on what we've already learned. Can't say enough good things about Heavenly Hounds!!

I did some research and found all the amazing reviews for Heavenly Hounds, so I decided to sign up for their puppy social and puppy Kindergarten class. Stephanie is our instructor and she is awesome, always giving advice and willing to answer all my numerous questions. My puppy is learning and I am learning with him as well. Puppy Social is great as well, it's not a dog free for all. The dogs are split up by size and temperament, this is great for dogs who might be very shy or even extremely outgoing. The trainers watch the dog interactions like a hawk and give you real time feedback on what is appropriate interactions and quickly defuse any interaction that might lead to something not positive. I would highly recommend Heavenly Hounds training to anyone looking for a caring and positive experience for your dog.
