After losing our Bernese Mountain Dog to cancer two years earlier, we were ready to embark on…read morebringing home another "big" dog into our homes and hearts. We had applied with multiple rescues across Sacramento, but many were non-respondent or had old legacy listings for dogs that were no longer available. When we saw "Fuggle" pop up on AdoptAPet.com one morning, I knew I had to put in an application for our family, despite feeling hopeless that it would not go anywhere. The application was quite thorough, but was quite similar to those we'd filled out for our Berner. I received an auto-reply stating they would reach back within a week, and lo and behold 7 days later, I received the happiest news and sweetest email, "I am happy to tell you that we have selected you for my favorite puppy! He really is the cutest.  What is your schedule like? I am hoping to do homechecks this week and then have the puppies picked up from the adoption event this weekend.  Just to make it easier for us to get it done :)" We quickly got in touch for a homecheck after work one day, were officially approved and were able to take "Fuggle" home just 13 days after submitting our application. The adoption process was so incredibly smooth and easy, and everyone at Recycled Pets was incredibly nice and professional, from the home visit, to the foster parents, to the adoption day. We've since attended a puppy reunion with his litter, and have joined a wonderful online community that celebrates everyone's extra-special love for their Recycled Pet. I'm so happy that Recycled Pets helped us find "Fuggle" but just as happy that we have such a caring and loving rescue organization here in Sacramento.

"The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs." - Charles de Gaulle…read more After meeting my fair share on FarmersOnly.com, OurTime.com, and PositiveSingles.com, I decided to switch dating sites and look on Petfinder.com. There were a few cuties that I could see potentially growing into a serious relationship. So I sold myself as much as I could on their online form and waited anxiously for them to respond. 3 days wait is the general rule before calling right? I decided to take my little man with me to see if I had his approval before cheating on him with another lifelong commitment. The place was a bit out in the boonies and looks like someone turned their barn-home into a rescue shelter. But Kritter Kamp is a no-kill rescue place so it's worth the drive. The place is a bit overwhelming with tons of little guys yapping away inside the building. But I was just glad that they were kept INSIDE the building and not in outdoor kennels. I was surprised to see they offer boarding and grooming services as well. They have a grassy fenced off play-area where I was introduced to my list of potential suitors. My little man wasn't interested in being compatible with any of them and they seem to not care as well. He was more interested in sniffing the grass than sniffing their butts. After I exhausted my list of potentials without even coming close to a match, one of the KK staff said she noticed that I had a type- I like 'em hairy! She told me she'd bring out a new one they just recently rescued from the Sac shelter. Out comes "Cha-Cha", a white furball with mattes all over her feet. She was so friendly, coming up to me all wiggly-butt and waggy. And she loved my little man, following him around everywhere! I originally didn't want to swing that way and wanted males only, but she was such a sweetheart and it just felt right. The heart doesn't lie, ya'll. Turns out she had only been at Kritter Kamp for 2 days and they hadn't even gotten a chance to fully groom her yet or socialize her. She only trusted Betty. I could tell the KK staff really cares about animals by how they handled the dogs and how they grilled me with questions before allowing me to bring her home. But I was able to take her home the same day with a $200 adoption fee to cover for her shots and spay. She hadn't even gotten spayed yet, but the ladies at KK assured me they would call me to set up an appointment with SPCA to have her spayed. Sure enough, a few days later, I dropped her back at KK and they had her spayed and returned within a day with all the paperwork. And despite the many dogs at KK and how little time they had to make her all pretty and adoptable, she came home without fleas! Now that says a lot about the place. Two years later and then-Cha-Cha-but-now-Lola has proven to be one of the best life choices I've made. She fits so well with the family. So if you find that Match.com ain't matching so well, go adopt and you'll find a devoted partner who'll love you unconditionally. You save them, they save you. What a wonderful thing.

Carrie, the woman who runs the organization, has a HUGE heart and spends an enormous amount of time rescuing threatened cats and dogs, getting them healthy and well-behaved (although, to be honest, most of them are already very healthy and well-trained by the time they get to SIAR), and finding them permanent loving homes. You can see their list of currently up-for-adoption animals here: http://www.siarescuers.com/ADOPTABLE_ANIMALS.html the list changes weekly, and if you're looking for something in particular, contact Carrie and she'll try to match you with just what you're looking for. Once we have the baby and things settle down & we adopt a new dog, we'll definitely go through SIAR. Carrie charges a small fee for adoption, just enough to cover shots/altering/microchipping and any necessary vet bills. She's a wonderful lady and does a huge service to the animals and animal lovers of Sacramento!

Because we were deep in Covid times, it was hard to get in contact with any adoption agencies. Lapcats was the first one to get back to us. We were interested in two bonded brothers. They were a little younger than we wanted (1.5 years old), but we were able to take them home for a 2 week trial period to see if they'd work in our little household. The night we brought them home was the night we decided to keep them. Our cats are little trouble makers, but they are also so dang well-behaved and socialized incredibly well. Sometimes (I mean always) I watch reels of other cats and I think of how wonderful my cats are. They don't bite, scratch, or hiss. They don't tear up furniture or eat plants. They don't even care about human food. Obviously, they aren't perfect. They both have the worst smelling farts known to man, and they have a tendency to always get in the way and get stepped on or kicked. Aside from that, we really lucked out with our little silly heads, and we have Lapcats to thank for that. Now if only I could convince my partner to let me adopt a few more...

I adopted two kittens from this organization a while back, and everything went wonderfully smooth,…read moreat first. I love my two kitties with all my heart, they were my first babies, before I met my husband! After I paid, had my cats for a while, had their microchips placed in my name, and they got all settled in, I received a text from the woman who oversaw my cats adoption stating they never received payment. Mind you, the adoption fee is the posted amount per cat but x2 for cats they say are a "bonded pair". I don't regret getting both my cats whatsoever, especially since they're siblings and love eachother dearly, but I wish they told you this before so that you could decide if you wanted to spend $800 as opposed to the original $400, or however much you budgeted in for adoption totals. However, I sent the full amount and was confused. The lady replied when I told her I sent the money with saying I can just call my bank and cancel the amount sent and they "are the ones who will return the money to me, but they're going to need another payment of the full amount sent immediately or else they're going to need the cats back". This sat wrong with me solely because what self respecting cat rescue place would pull two kittens OUT of a loving, caring home, unless their only and pivotal desire was one of financial gain? None. And to threaten that so quickly over what was (at that time) just a misunderstanding? I find that not only selfish, but also rash, greedy, rude, and quite honestly despicable for anyone who takes on the title of "rescue" or "sanctuary". If you're in the business of selling cats as opposed to animal welfare, just say that. Anywhom, I sent an ADDITIONAL amount this time and less than a day or two later, received another text but this time with both the ladies who were overseeing the adoption. And there was no manners (or adult/professional) behavior present in these texts. They started accusing me of being a "scammer", a "con artist", and using words and slurs that I would be embarrassed to EVER say to someone. I sent them the picture of my receipt displaying the amount sent, which had their information as the recipient and the amount paid all pictured. Then I blocked them. I never received the money back from the original payment, which means I they scammed me for 4x the amount I was originally told I had to pay for just the adoption. And lastly, months later, I was contacted by my BOSS saying that THEY were sent a letter stating that I owed them money. Not only is that a blatant lie, it is also pure insanity, delusional, and I assume considered illegal under definitions of harassment and extortion! The letter threatened to sue, and I was hoping to god they did. Because I would have loved to get to present all the evidence of just how "mean girls" run this organization in front of a court and have it all backfire on them so that I have grounds for a counter suit claiming defamation, harassment, extortion, and every other grounds of dishonest practice that a business could take part in (and get caught doing when their greed and ego clouds their profit driven vision..because they aren't mentally developed enough to spot the risks that come from that beforehand). But unfortunately, they never sued. I assume they knew they were in the wrong and knew it would backfire, so they chickened out. Either way, I love my babies, which is the only reason they get one star. Other than that, I would've been a lot less graceful with my words chosen here. And I would've ensured I saw my day against them in court as well.
