I adopted the Fiona (formerly Anastasia) from Hampshire County Pet Adoption Program in August of 2012. Ashley and Tracey had rescued Fiona and several other dogs from a horrible local hoarding case. Fiona was terribly un-socialized, missing most of her hair and showed physical signs of trauma. They did such a great job of earning her trust and building a foundation for her to become the happy, smart and outgoing dog she is at home now! Will always be grateful for being able to adopt her - she is such a HUGE part of my life! Have and will continue to recommend Hampshire County Pet Adoption Program to friends and acquaintances!
We adopted our dog, Sansa (was named Mellie), from HCPAP in November 2014. Ashley from HCPAP went far beyond the call of duty to help make sure the transition went smoothly. She kept in touch for questions and was always happy to help out.
It was a very positive experience with the exceptional volunteers at this fantastic nonprofit.
We adopted our sweet Claire from HCPAP in October 2010. When we adopted her, she was struggling with some health problems that required her to be on special food and have multiple tests done. Tracey and HCPAP were fabulous during our first month after adopting. They arranged for us to be given the special food Claire needed and scheduled her ultrasounds, all at no cost to us since these were known medical issues prior to her adoption. This organization has a special place in our hearts, and we are eternally grateful for their kindness and hard work.
I was living in NJ at the time and heard about HCPAP when I lost my dog of 16 years. I traveled to VA and met Tracey and her volunteers. She helped me find the perfect puppy for me! Bailey has been a member of our family for 5 years now. The process was so smooth and rewarding! Bailey was well cared for and loved before she joined our family and has been loved ever since! Thank you again HCPAP you will always be a part of our family!
Wonderful organization!! Next month will be 3 years since we adopted our chihuahua from HCPAP!! The volunteers were extremely kind and knowledgeable. While we were searching for a new family member, other rescues either took FOREVER to get back to us or they didn't know much about the dog I was trying to adopt. That was totally not the case with HCPAP! They knew everything about the puppy I wanted and they were prompt in getting back to me over emails!! The adoption process was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend HCPAP for anybody searching for their new family member!!
I have been working with HCPAP for over four years now and it has been a life changing experience. When you see a dog come in scared and feeling alone and then watch him grow and finally find the perfect family is something that is beyond words. HCPAP is always working to help the dog and everything they do is directed towards helping rehabilitate and find the dogs fur-ever family. They never put an animal down due to overpopulation in the rescue, once they are taken into it they stay until they find a home, for some that has been years. Working with this spectacular group of people has changed my life for the better by teaching me that not only can I make a difference but how love and compassion can change an animals life forever.
We have rescued 2 dogs with Hampshire Co. And both times it was a great experience! They were knowledgeable, up front, and straight forward through the whole experience. Our dogs fit right into our family and give us so much joy! Definitely the place to go to find the perfect fur baby and give them a forever home!
