All Terrier Rescue Hunters Crossing Inc

If this is the same Rescue they shouldn’t be in business. Samantha M, President is forbidden by law enforcement to have animals. Her mother and two associates are also under law enforcement watch. They can’t have a nonprofit organization. Samantha is to stand trial in Federal court for animal abuse. One associate has already gone to prison.

We got our Joey at a little over 1 yrs old from this rescue. They were up front about him around cats and small dogs. In fact they said he probably shouldn’t go to a home with such. Their not sure if he was abused in the past also because he’s not fond of men. We took him anyways (even though we had both a cat and a small dog) But after much love by us and training, he was amazing to our cat, and our small shih Tzu. He’s so gentle with our grandkids and he is the biggest love and therapy dog ever. I believe any animal can be redirected and trained with a lot of love and patience. He turns 7 today and we live and adore him to pieces. Our little shih tzu passed away a few years ago so we got him a labradoodle Gracie to bond with. He’s raised her from a pup at 7 weeks abs they adore each other. I’m so happy we took Joey in ♥️♥️♥️

We adopted a very beautiful long hair German Shepherd from All Terrier Rescue 5 years ago. They thought he was a Teruvian, but he's a Shepherd. At a year old, he was from a high kill shelter in California where he'd spent two months. He was in perfect health, well groomed, newly neutered. All Terrier was frank about his behavior issues : he'd been returned twice by other adopters. Two months in a kill shelter had an effect on him. But he's a wonderful German Shepherd, fierce guardian, intelligent, high strung due to highly bred, family member. If it weren't for All Terrier Rescue, he would have died young. Caring for a large group of dogs must be difficult to maintain total cleanliness , order, health ( sickness spreads fast ) but our boy came through with good care.

Our sweet girl was a blessing but she came with baggage from ATR...they forced us to fix her at 3mo. old at THEIR facility (some Garage at OSU) and when she had kennel cough that she had from the rescue they isolated her in the garage for the whole weekend and didnt call us to come get her. She came back terrified....I asked if we could take her to our vet to get her fixed at 6mo and provide paperwork to prove it had been done....nope. they threatened to take her back and keep the "fostering fee"...when she went back after 2 weeks without kennel cough (I felt horrible making her go there again) they fixed her...but she had bladder problems because she was so young. Still does nearly 2 years later. Rescued her from a rescue designed in hell.

Horror story would be a nice thing I don't even know what to say about this horrific organization. My roommate who was new to the area adopted a dog from them even though I told avoid them at all cost, thought I was just being paranoid. She got this terrier mix as they claimed he was and within 24 hours his health went on a serious downward spiral. He had nonstop dirahea, vomiting. She tried to contact them about what was going on and not a single response. So we rushed him to my vet and he was diagnosed with parvo as well as kennel cough. They also told her he was fully vaccinated claimed which was a lie. Still trying to contact the about what was going on with the puppy still no answer, my roommate is told the puppy might not make it. Finally, a week later they get back to us and said we went to the wrong vet that my vet misdiagnosed him. The puppy was in the vets for about a month bc he kept having complications. We tried to reach them getting some compensation towards these vet bills and they threatened us, that they would come and take the puppy back if we contacted them again. My vet worked with us and helped me and my roommate set up a payment plan bc they felt horrible that these monsters took advantage of my roommate. The puppy has pulled through by the grace of God. I pray these monsters get out away for a very long time and all those poor dogs get rescued from the horrific abuse these monsters inflict on them.

We adopted a puppy from them in 2007.

Our puppy arrived in the back of a pickup truck that had a pop top, in a too-small crate that was sitting unsecured on the top of a very large crate. We heard our puppy crying before Samantha even pulled into the parking lot and she complained to her mother that the puppy had cried for the entire trip from Scappoose to Tigard. When she opened the back, our puppy's crate had slid and ended up at a 30 degree angle so the puppy had to try to stand on the back of the crate. Luckily, it had not fallen off the crate.

They required $300 in cash plus a mandatory $100 cash donation for caring for the other dogs.

We were told our puppy had diarrhea from "just being dewormed."
12 hours post adoption, the emergency vet told us our puppy had the worst case of giardia they had ever seen plus coccidia and untreated bite wounds. The adoption paperwork showed that the "just dewormed" statement was a lie.

The e-vet also estimated that our puppy was 28% underweight for the size, bone structure, and body condition. The e-vet and staff did not expect our puppy to survive.

Samantha told us she had given our puppy a "spanking" the day of adoption for eating poop. It took several weeks to get our puppy to no longer be hand shy.

Over the next several years, we ran into All Terrier several times at various pet stores.
I filed complaints with animal control and pet store management after witnessing Samantha hitting rescue dogs for such things as not going potty on command or not walking nicely on a leash.
We also discovered our puppy's mother, who was in All Terrier's custody for the birth of our puppy, had somehow had yet another litter while still in All Terrier's custody.

All Terrier, and their latest incarnation, "Rescue Strong Oregon," is now in legal trouble for running a for-profit rescue with IRS tax exempt status, failing to report an estimated $6,000,000 in income, using the rescue's money for personal expenses, misleading adopters, misrepresenting the health status of dogs up for adoption, misrepresenting themselves as animal behaviorists and veterinarians, failing to maintain the required records, failing to obtain a kennel license, and more.

After seeing him on Petfinder, I adopted a 7 month-old "flat-coated retriever mix" from All-Terrier Rescue's set up at the Petsmart in Tigard. I did not know much about ATR but figured if they were on Petfinder and at Petsmart they must be legit. Hah! Upon meeting him, Robbie seemed like a friendly, quiet pup. Afterwards I figured he must have been partially sedated.

I paid $300 - more than any other dog I've gotten from a rescue group or the local humane society - but since he was young and had been transported from New Mexico I rationalized that ATR had expenses to cover. ATR gave me paperwork from a local vet stating that this pup was in good health and had just been neutered.

Two days later I took young Robbie to my own vet and she quickly diagnosed him with a broken hip. After further exam and x-rays, a specialist said the injury was about a month old, half-healed, and it was too late for setting it right. Robbie also had mange mites around his eyes. When I called ATR to ask for more information about this pup they could not tell me anything. They could not explain why their local vet gave Robbie a clean bill of health. I wonder if ATR even gave me the correct vet report for this dog? And after that, I NEVER heard from ATR again, not to ask how the dog was settling in or what had happened with his broken hip or ANYTHING. They were happy to take my money and never cared for the dog at all!

Robbie is not an easy dog. At first he was terrified of all people and pee-d submissively if you spoke to him. He hid in his crate and would bite anyone attempting to attach a leash to his collar. Actually he would try to bite me when I even tried to pet him. He was too nervous to eat unless provided with a place where he could hide and eat. He would run and hide as soon as he saw a leash. He could not ride even five minutes in the car without vomiting. He would lung and bark at strange dogs and strange people. Imagine trying to put mange ointment on a dog like that or attempting to take him to a normal puppy class or swim therapy!

Thank God the Oregon Humane Society offers evaluations by their own dog trainers. In a very affordable hour-long meeting, an OHS trainer met with me and Robbie. She observed his behavior and suggested how to approach training and socializing this handsome but troubled dog. Robbie and I attended OHS classes for reactive dogs. Thankfully this boy is food-motivated; in seven years he's come a long way!
More good news for Robbie is that, after many water therapy sessions, his strength improved on his bad leg/hip and he is now a happy, active dog.

I have learned the hard way that all rescue groups are NOT alike. My other dog, Essie, was adopted as a young puppy for about $120 from a wonderful group in Kennewick where the dogs are cared for in foster homes. Their dogs are all local, NOT brought in from other states. People there could tell me everything about Essie's care and they followed up with me afterwards. I now know this is how a proper dog rescue group conducts business.

I, too, adopted a puppy from these people. Of course, I had to pay 300$ cash, buy a leash, collar, dog tag and one bag of food from PetSmart. While they preach about reading everything on their website, which I did, they leave out the details of needing 300 cash. I had a leash, collar, food at home and didn’t need to buy these things but they wouldn’t let me take the dog home. When the dog continued to cough, not eat or drink for 24 hrs, I called ATR. I was calm and kind but the woman I spoke to was rude and condescending. I’m in the medical field and don’t need to be lectured on the process of anesthesia, coughing from trach tubes. She said her cough would go away and she would be able to eat again. They said give her some Tylenol and whatever antibiotic you have laying around. Well, she didn’t get better. I contacted me friend who is a vet and she the dog needs to see a specialist. But I was spooked from their insane contract. I drove 90 minutes in traffic to get the dog meds from their house. They said angrily, do not get out of your car. She shot the dog and gave me a bag of unmarked meds. So weird. There’s a serious reason why so many folks have had left terrible reviews. While talking with friends about where they rescued their dogs, not one person has said they had to sign a contract, pay cash, put up with rude and unprofessional people. I really hope something changes. And in regards to someone’s rant about individuals who post negative reviews, that 20 dogs will die today. I have worked with several different rescue organizations and not one has ever had terrible practices like this organization. And they still manage to get dogs from kill shelters and get them good homes, without all of the things I have mentioned. I love my dog and am so happy to have her. I just wish she and so many other dogs weren’t so sick!

I adopted a two year old, small breed dog from this organization in September of 2017. I did this via an adoption event that was held at local PetSmart, back when they were still doing business with ATR (they have since severed ties in light of numerous complaints and investigations of the "non-profit").

My son and I fell in love with the dog right away and so I asked about adoption. My first red flag came when the woman working the event picked the dog up by the collar. What I mean by this I mean, she bent over, looped a finger under his collar and lifted the 14 lbs. dog into the air. She didn't even do this quickly; she did it as though he was a piece of luggage, and the poor little thing was HUNG for a few moments. I reflexively gasped and reached out to support the dog's butt, but she pulled him away from me. My son and I were livid after seeing how she manhandled the poor animal.

Then I was told I could only pay the adoption fee in cash, which I thought was strange and a bit unprofessional. After withdrawing funds from an ATM I returned and was presented with ATR's bizarre contract. Again I was struck by how sketchy it all seemed, but I wanted to get the little dog away from staff that handle him so roughly. So I went through with it all and took my little boy home.

That night he had bad diarrhea all over the house. I cleaned him up and kept him warm, fed and gave him lots of love. I thought perhaps the watery stool and multiple accidents could be from stress, due to his being in a totally new environment with strangers. So I decided to just keep him comfortable and watch him through the night.

The next day there was more diarrhea all over my room and bed, but this time I noticed what I thought was a bit of blood in it. I was able to get him in to my regular veterinarian and a fecal exam revealed it was Giardia. They found that he also had worms, and that he was infested with fleas. In fact, we discovered tiny bloody sores on his throat and neck—which I had not noticed the previous day—from him scratching himself so frequently. Additionally, though I was provided paperwork from ATR that listed all the vaccines my dog had received prior to my adopting him (all of which would expire in October, the following month), there was no record of a rabies vaccine. So my vet took care of that as well.

Months later, our little guy has put on some weight, the skin on his throat has healed and the fur has grown back. His coat is SO much softer and shinier than before, and his personality has changed as well: we can pick him up, hold him, snuggle and kiss him, put his little jacket and harness on him without a fearful reaction, growling or snapping. He has turned into such a sweet, healthy little love bug.

I am so glad I got him away from the situation he was in; I don't know if all the comments stating that this "rescue" is just in it for the money are correct or not, but my experience makes me feel that the animals’ best interest is not necessarily this organizations’ number one priority.

I debated commenting on this because it's not something I normally do. We adopted a dog from this rescue that we love and are very grateful that this organization saves dogs from high-kill shelters, because our doggie would likely have been overlooked. I'll admit, the contract had some clauses that I wasn't thrilled with, but I've rescued other dogs in the past and had much more invasive applications. So, much of it seemed standard to me, and we were fortunate that our dog did not get sick. We did foster to adopt because she still needed spayed. They did mention when I asked that I could have her spayed at my vet at my own expense. I could adopt then after showing proof. I opted to go with their procedure instead and though travelling to Aloha was inconvenient, everything worked out. I guess I figured that ATR developed that contract after they had people that rescued animals and did not treat the animal properly. I get that. Not everyone is cut out to raise a dog and some people should never have one. The staff was not particularly personable, but it was fine. I followed the rules, to the letter- and we have our wonderful dog and she is an amazi ng part of our family. It's sad to me that there is so much conflict, because I think the organization is/was trying to really help animals. I don't think that's an easy task and I think that the process is typically stressful for everyone. I've adopted 6 dogs since 1991 and I recall being a little stressed with each one. I hope the issues can be resolved, because I want other dogs, like ours, to have a chance.

They are now euthanizing dogs that they have had too long. Came across two Craigslist ads threatening that if no one adopts their shepherd or cattle dog mix that they will be euthanized. I emailed but have gotten no response. They will be shut down soon. No specific dates but their end is coming. Call Columbia County with your complaints! That will speed up the process of putting these nasty people out of business.

I honestly cannot say enough horrible things about this rescue. I adopted a dog (for $300) back in 2012. The morning after my husband and I brought him home, we noticed he was struggling to breathe and had worms in his poop. We took him to the vet who diagnosed him with Kennel Cough (and obviously he had worms). After a lengthy vet bill, I tried to contact All Terrier Rescue to discuss what our next step would be. They claimed he was dewormed, which he obviously was not. I got no response for over a week. When I finally heard back, they were rude and essentially told me I didn't go to the right vet office and it was not their problem. I looked through the paperwork they gave me and no where in it did it specify a vet office that was recommended. Thankfully, the vet we did take him to helped us out with our bill because it was not the first time he had seen people lied to by this rescue.

Fast forward a few years, our friends adopted a dog from this rescue as well (despite numerous warnings from myself and my husband). The dog they adopted was very aggressive towards people and animals, which unfortunately was not working out with their lifestyle as they had young children and another dog. After a month, they tried numerous times to get ahold of All Terrier Rescue with no luck. Emails and phone calls went unreturned for almost two weeks. In that timeframe, the dog went into heat (even though All Terrier Rescue claimed she was spayed). They took the dog into their own vet, who confirmed she was not spayed. Finally, they eventually had to drive the dog back to one of their Petsmart events to return her because they were not returning any phone calls or emails. I find this highly unprofessional. It is in the contract that if it doesn't work out with the animal, the animal is to be returned to the rescue. I have no issue with this, but the least they could do is return the concerned emails. With this rescue though, once they have your money they couldn't care less about any issues that may arise in the future. Lining their pockets is their sole interest.

I would highly recommend that everyone steer clear of this "rescue" organization.

Do not adopt from this rescue! Listen to the reviews posted here and the news stories about them. We didn't listen and they turned out to be exactly what the other reviewers said. We've consulted multiple veterinarians since then regarding this rescue and they all say the same thing. "Don't adopt/foster from this rescue!"

I simply inquired about a dog, and received a short, curt email back, answering zero of my questions. Of course they don't have a phone number which is also really sketchy. They are VERY slow to respond too. After reading all of the reviews below, I think we will definitely look elsewhere... And spread the word about this place. Even the volunteers' comments on this page are condescending. They seem like a bunch of angry people:(. Also, ATR, "required donations" are technically selling pets. Although you obviously don't want to admit that for tax purposes, etc. YOU ARE SELLING PETS.

This place is terrible! Many elements of various "one star" reviews you will read happened to my family also. Our dog was sick, they would not allow us to treat it properly. Rude mean, threats to take back the dog, even knowing that young kids have already fallen in love with it. They want you to follow their "contract" strictly but they don't hesitate to disregard or change the terms at their convenience. For example, at the time I paid $330 we agreed IN WRITING to a specific date that I would return the dog to be spayed. I planned my calendar for that specific date. Well, they changed the date to a time that absolutely did not work for us. Samantha was rude and basically yelled at me on the phone and said I I was being unreasonable and she would go ahead and take the dog back if I couldn't make the new date at work. Samantha and Jerry won't even honor their own contract. The way these guys operate is outrageous. This seems like a pretend "nonprofit" from which Samantha and Jeri no doubt profit handsomely.

If you don't mind being abused and treated terribly then by all means adopt a dog from Samantha and Jeri.

If you are looking to adopt a dog, do NOT go to ALL TERRIER RESCUE. Dogs are all initially set up to be fostered, with the contingency that ATR can reclaim (and resell) the dog at their discretion, even if their reasons are unfounded. Fees are paid in cash, with no refund. No receipt of payment is given until a dog is adopted. Animals are sent home to families sick. Personal vet checks are not permitted. Medications are distributed in zip lock bags, provided the adoptee's pick it up at a private home. This company has a strong vibe of "FOR-PROFIT" and not for dogs. Appointments for spay/neuter and pick up are rigid and commonly mid-day, mid week, with the threat of ATR reclaiming the dog if you cannot accommodate the appointments. Communication is irrational and threatening with the owners, with repeated statements like "we own the dog".

I have adopted many dogs over the years. I have never experienced anything even close to this frustrating before. I would rate ATR at a negative number if I could. This is a business for the women who run it and the dogs are their income, not their passion.

Do not support ATR and ask any companies that are helping them to drop their support as well. The dogs need people who care about them and not just the money.

I had an arranged meeting with All Terrier, confirmed twice via email. I travelled an hour to meet them to see a dog, and found out they weren’t coming.
Not only did they not notify me, but I had to contact them to ask about the change up.
It’s clear this non-profit suffers from poor organization, and truly hope the dogs are safe and happy.

We adopted a very thin puppy from them many years ago. If I could give them negative stars, I would. Not even 12 hours after bringing our new family member home, we were at the e-vet. The puppy has diarrhea at the adoption event and Samantha Miller said it was due to "just being dewormed" and to "give some cheese." The diarrhea worsened. Turns out the puppy had not been recently dewormed but has the worst case of giardia the e-vet had ever seen and coccidia. The puppy was 3 lbs underweight and the vet estimated only half the size it should have been at that age. 2 weeks later, we were back with the puppy staying overnight to receive IV antibiotics.

Samantha Miller stated our puppy's mother was caught by All Terrier while giving birth. We even saw the mother, a pretty dog with extremely unique markings. She even had a unique name.
Imagine our surprise when, about a year later, we went to a pet store and our dog's mom was there with a new litter of puppies. One puppy looked just like the one we adopted and another looked just like one of our puppy's littermates. We asked the people at All Terrier if that was our dog's mom. They said no then said the dog's name, the exact same name they gave to our dog's mom.
I went home and printed out the Petfinder picture of this dog and compared it to the picture I had kept of our dog's mom. The markings were the same.

Over the years, I've run into Samantha Miller and All Terrier.
One encounter I witnessed her hitting a rescue dog for not going potty when she took it to the parking lot. I reported her to animal control, who did not follow up on the complaint for some reason, and to the pet store manager.

When we adopted, we had to pay a steep adoption fee plus a mandatory donation to help offset costs for other dogs in their possession... and they preferred cash over checks.

We have since seen the e-vet who cared for our sick puppy. He was so happy to see us because he was sure our puppy was too weak and sick to survive for more than a few months. Our 1st vet was sure our puppy was going to die.

This place opened my eyes to just how bad some "rescues" are. It caused me to educate myself on rescues and to make connections with other, ethical, rescuers. There needs to be oversight in the rescue world to stop places like this but, unfortunately, it's not easy to get those who are in charge to understand this need and start enacting laws governing rescues.

After reading thru there are way too many bad incidents with the same common problems. Would never consider this organisation for a pet .

Terrible and Traumatic Experience from start to finish

I want to start by saying both my husband and I have pretty extensive experience with dogs (multiple breeds and ages). We also have experience with other rescues, who (after I have shared our experience with ATR) are SHOCKED and APPALLED with the "rules" and policies this rescue has in place.

I have our entire story below but I would HIGHLY advise not working with them! They do NOT allow any medical attention or treatment to any dog, no matter how sick the dog may be and don’t explain ANYTHING about their processes or partner clinics (cost of spay/neuter, etc)…they churn and burn these poor animals. They may have started with the best intention but are now are in over their head with too many dogs, too frequently and very bad attitudes to their foster families.

They are not able and definitely not willing to support the foster families who may have issues or problems arise with their foster pup…our case was extreme, but we believe it lead to a dead puppy whom we loved very much and were willing to do whatever it took to keep alive out of our own pockets.

My husband and I went to check out some of ATR’s puppies after seeing a post on Petfinder for available dogs. We found an adorable, sweet , very sad-looking, and VERY mellow 4 month old Shepard mix. I listened to the two women talk to multiple adopters about Fostering to Adopt and read their website myself of course…everything sounded OK at that point…

After having this guy for just a few days we recognized so he wasn’t just mellow, he was very sick. We called Jeri and she told us he should be fine and that they “just didn’t know how much he had previously been playing” with other days before we got him. Basically telling us not to worry. We were very uncomfortable with the fact that we “weren’t allowed” to take him to ANY vet or clinic ourselves, even at our own expense (we made it clear that we were willing to pay whatever the cost to get this little guy better)…another day went on and he became much worse – having trouble breathing and trying to vomit almost non-stop. I called both Jeri and Samantha at this time only to reach voicemail. My husband and I actually ended up at Dove Lewis, though we did not share that with the rescue at the time because they threatened to seize the dog if we did any such thing…we were concerned for his life at this point.

While at Dove Lewis I got an call back from Samantha (very negative and nasty tone) saying we did NOT have permission to take him anywhere and that if he needed help, to bring him directly to them (at one of their homes) and that they will provide medical treatment. We left Dove Lewis immediately (though the vet was seriously concerned about him) and arrived at their home around 10pm. One of the ladies came out, asked where the dog was and said she had medicine to give him…I asked what she would going to give him and she seemed annoyed and hesitant to respond…She finally told me. We felt awful and again very uncomfortable about this situation as we were still in our car, in the middle of the street. She told me to get him out of the car and then gave him a shot right then and there, in the middle of the street! I looked up the medication later and found out its not recommended for dogs under 1 year old as it stunts growth, how could they?!!? This has to be completely against all standards for practicing medicine...

They sent us home with him and told us if he’s not better by the next afternoon to call them again. All night long he was struggling, I didn’t sleep because he was having such a difficult time. He was NOT ok by any means and I couldn’t bare keeping him without being able to take him to a proper clinic…It was the hardest decision but we had to give him back to these women against’ our better judgment and all gut feelings. We had out hands tied. It was completely horrible.

There should be NO reason why they can’t allow foster parents to sign something and take animals to get medical attention (at their own expense). It doesn’t make sense at all and morally seems completely wrong.

I cannot believe they don’t provide the option to let their “foster to adopt” families take these animals somewhere if they choose to pay for medical attention on their own. Again, our circumstances were hopefully extreme and uncommon but this organization is SHADY SHADY SHADY! The one thing I will give them is that they did say these dogs may have illness, pickup kennel cough, etc…but to send such a sickly dog home with foster parent who can’t do anything to help is complete torture…They are in over their head and need to rethink their ethics and business processes…Be warned, they might have cute and very deserving dogs to foster/adopt but they are completely awful to work with!

You guys steal people's dogs. Justice or jail time.

Evil heartless organization that needs to be prosecuted for multiple counts of 1st degree felony theft of animals! They are no "rescue", they are a scummy business running scams for profit! How the hell do they qualify as a "non-profit", what a LIE! Return Olly you POS scum bags!

Do not adopt from this rescue! I work at an animal hospital near them and we get newly adopted dogs from them frequently. The puppies almost 100 percent of the time are sick, have contagious diseases and one extreme case that we barely saved. They throw clavamox at any symptom just to appear that they are treating the pet without seeking vet treatment. One patient came in as an emergency, who was being fostered by our client, barely alive after days of the foster parent reaching out to ATR for help, without anything other then clavamox. This pet hadn't eaten or drank in days, couldn't walk, pale gums, and slowed respiratory rate. Once all terrier rescue found out the foster saught treatment they called us yelling saying we're not authorized to treat this pet who needs oxygen, IV fluids and hospitalization. They had they're lawer contact us, we explained this dog was dying before our eyes and had our lawyer talk to him. After hours of back and fourth they signed the dog over. Absolutely disgusting people who work there. Part of there adoption contract is that you cannot bad mouth them or write negative reviews. Who needs that in a contract?

Return Olly to his owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What kind of horrible people keep a little boy from his dog and Caring, loving home?? How do you sleep at night? What you're doing is STEALING!

Was looking to adopt a dog from them in June of 2015. I felt the staff was rude and unprofessional. They gave curt answers and treated the dogs harshly. One of the representatives was showing me how to "properly" walk a dog. She jerked the dog powerfully back and forth and I couldn't detect any kindness in the handling. Compared to the place we actually adopted from (Three Rivers Human Society in Madras) All Terrier Rescue was a joke. I know there are two sides to every story but I imagine what has come up on the news is mostly correct. Adopt from any other shelter you can.

DO NOT ADOPT FROM ALL TERRIER RESCUE!

Rescue? More like, Unethical. Disgraceful. Heartless. No compassion or empathy for preserving the human-animal bond, puppy flippers.

This place needs to be shut down. The way they run the "rescue" is a disgrace to the the legit small non profit rescue group's that acually about animals. All these people care about is power and making money and unfortunately it is the animal's in their care that suffer the most. They are getting one star because I have to in order to post this.

I rescued a pup from this group recently and here was my horrifying experience:
Our family was excited to get another pup. My daughter found that this group was going to be at the local Pet Smart and found a few pups she wanted to look at. We brought in our lab to make sure the dogs would be compatible. We instantly were drawn to Cooper. They took my License so we could check the dog out and said we could take him and my other dog into the Pet Smart pen. The dogs instantly bonded and we just new. Then I started the paperwork. I read through the fostering paperwork and instantly had concerns. I then asked about the no taking the dog to the vet policy and knowing many dogs have kennel cough and wanting to protect both mine and the new pup I asked if I could pay to take him to their vet. I got told no because most vets are not familiar with rescue dogs and they pick apart every little thing that could be wrong with them. This was said by one if the employees on a threatening way. I had to walk away from the desk at this point for a few moments. Seeing my kids so excited about the pup I went back and signed the paperwork. After signing everything the owner came and Sat in a chair across from me and said "I have been told you are being confrontational with my employees". She then went on the bully me and threaten me if I take the pup to the vet she would take the puppy. And if I did not agree to her rules she would take the dog from my kids and put him back in the pen and he would be gone in 10 minutes. She went on to say if i did anything against the contract they would show at my house with the police and take the dog back. She made me look her in the eyes and say I agree. Had my family not gotten so attached I would have walked but, well, puppy face. That's exactly how she gets you. I then got home to find out he was fixed so he could officially be ours so my husband ran back and finalized it. Please do not purchase from them. I plan on talking with the store as well.

I have been to two different adoption events at the Tigard Petsmart and both times I was shocked by how exceptionally rude and condescending the main lady with the short black hair was. Every single person she interacted with she treated as if they were an idiot.

She refused to answer questions about any of the dogs, saying, "obviously you didn't read anything on our website..." (and they literally have no information or bios about any of the dogs on their website), yelled at her co-workers in front of everyone, and snapped at people who were looking at dogs, trying to tell them they were interacting with the dogs wrong (I've raised and trained dogs my whole life, nothing anyone was doing was wrong, she told one guy who was comforting a dog that was a bit nervous that he was "reinforcing bad behavior" and that he was basically teaching the dog to hate people..)

They have lots of beautiful sweet dogs but with their main point of contact being so outstandingly awful to everyone they're never going to find their forever homes.

I challenge you to go to one of their adoption events, interact with her, and not leave feeling angry. Hey bet she doesn't even remember me because she gives the same remarkably terrible customer service to everyone.

My family adopted this sweet and loving German Shepard mix from the All terrier rescue back in August. Our family loved this dog but soon found out he had severe separation anxiety that would lead to behavior that could hurt him like jumping out of windows and over fences, as well as squeezing out of his kennel. We contacted Samanatha thinking she really cared about the dogs she had but we were met with hostility and condescending comments. When we asked if she would take the dog back she said that if we can't contain him then they can't either so we could do whatever the heck we wanted with him. So assuming our contract was no longer binding we tried to take him to a humane society and when they called her she told them we missed an appointment with her that previous day. So then we called her and she didn't even know who was our dog. After more rude remarks from her she said that we would have to give our dog to someone else not a shelter. We asked for a written statement from her saying our contract was no longer binding and she said no. Later that same night I email her again to get in writing what she told me over the phone to have legal proof she wouldn't take him back. Instead I had email saying to bring him back on a Thursday before another adoption event. If our family could keep this dog we would because one thing is clear to us this organization does not care for the dogs they claim to care about. Unprofessional and scamming are what I would call this organization.

Terrible customer service! I emailed to ask if a dog that was posted online was still available and received this response: "Please do not email to ask if a dog is available. If the picture is posted then it is." No salutation, closing, or anything--incredibly unprofessional and uninviting. Knowing that shelters and especially third-party websites are often delayed in updating their postings, this is not an unreasonable question to ask over email before taking additional steps to try to meet a potential pet. Not only was this response overly curt, the individual provided no information on next steps I might take to pursue adoption. I will certainly NOT be looking to support this organization anytime soon.

These people are rude simply asked if a dog was still available so I could drive down from Seattle to look at him, and she said I lived to far away. I emailed back to ask if she doesn't adopt out of state and she told me to stop she can't help me I live to far away. Even though I was going to come down to get the dog myself. Doesn't seem like adopting these dogs out are their first priority. Rude staff

Don't waste your time, this organization is not existing to get free donations $$. Owner is flat out rude. Pathetic

Make people pay "forced donation" to "foster" dogs, which could potentially be sick and spread disease. Don't allow people who have dogs to take them for medical care- even if they pay for it? Use any reason to take dogs back and get a second "donation" for them. Read the reviews. Notice that they are cash only?

These dogs should be going to real volunteer foster homes to make sure they are okay before they go out into the general public, rather than having general public not trained "fostering". You should actually SCREEN people (and not just lose licenses?) before they take your dogs and then let them outright have the dogs- rather than some random arbitrary contract that you decide if it's violated on a whim so they forfeit their $300 "donation".

The animals health should be first and foremost. And it isn't. Read the reviews.

Guessing at one time they might have actually cared for the animals, but just seems like a front operation to make them money even though "non for profit". Horrible organization. I'd give them zero stars if I could. Go elsewhere.

I am only doing 1 star otherwise it will not allow me to post. I just saw one of the girls that works for this rescue punch a dog twice because he started fighting with another dog. As soon as this was over the same girl started singing to another dog that "nobody wants him" i need to know where to go from here because these dogs are being mistreated. I just complained to the manager at the Tigard Petsmart and he didnt seem very concerned and told me to look them up online. Terrible people.

I adopted two dogs from all terrier rescue, I am very happy with my experiences. They rescue a lot of dogs, find them homes, and it is a very hard work. Their rules for the dogs are very strict with no rooms for excuses of adopter's circumstances, because their priorities are their dog's well-being. They demand that their dogs are treated the way they demanded, not the way for the adopter's convenience. If adopters cannot meet their requirement to adopt a dog, they will take away, because they do not want the dog at the risk. I am OK with that. They are not customer oriented, but they are not bad people, they love dogs, their intention is clear to me.

I recently spoke with this rescue simply trying to validate vaccine information on behalf of a new pet owner, whom adopted their dog through this organization. Not only did (the owner of the rescue?) flat out refuse to clarify the simple information requested, she was outright rude and confrontational despite my letting her know that I was a veterinary professional and needed this information for legality purposes.
I would not trust that this organization is reputable.

I have two sweet terrier mutts from this organization BUT would never adopt from them again nor ever recommend them. I adopted my little Lily, who was said to be 4 months old but really was about 2-2.5 months old AND neutered already.. A day and a half after I brought her home, she began acting odd and was shaking and crying. I took her to the emergency vet, as it was a Saturday, and she was diagnosed with Parvovirus. I was beyond upset that my new little baby could potentially die. I called All Terrier Rescue to notify them that I adopted a dog with parvo, hoping they would help cover the cost of the hospitalization and also just to notify them because I'm sure their other dogs up for adoption were also infected. The woman I spoke with began screaming at me and blaming me for exposing my dog. Then she was furious that I had taken the pup to the vet and that only she knew how to treat dogs with parvo... That veterinarians don't know what they're doing. She wanted me to leave the vet and drive from Vancouver, WA to where she was at in Aloha, OR so she could personally treat my puppy. First of all, the incubation period of parvo is 7-14 days.. There is no way that my pup contracted parvo while in my care. Secondly, how dare this woman berate me while I was sobbing and was simply notifying her that she is selling sick puppies. I never even had the opportunity to speak with her about helping financially as she sold me a sick puppy because she was belligerent. Lastly, no way in hell am I taking my very sick, febrile, whimpering puppy out to your shithole of an establishment so you, with no medical expertise, can treat her when I am sitting in a veterinarian's exam room. Thank God she survived. Do not adopt from these people. Rude, abrasive, and obviously do not care for or about the animals.

I brought home my amazing dog January 2016. First of all, I love the dog to death and would never give her up.

Now that's out of the way, I have to speak about the owner / staff at All Terrier Rescue. I went to an adoption event at a pet store in Beaverton and asked about the dog I eventually got. She was in a cage in the middle of where all the dogs were playing and was terrified. I asked to see her and they let me know if I wanted to see her I would have to pull her out myself. I did so, fell in love and took her home. For the first 3 days she was so scared she either stood up straight or was curled in a ball. When she finally showed us her stomach she had STAPLES from a surgery. I was still in the one week foster window and called immediately to ask what was going on. The owner, in a very condescending tone, told me that she would not disclose any information about the dog until I adopted her. Since I loved her so much, I did. When I returned to fill out the paperwork, they told me I'd have to find a vet to take out the staples and how no idea where the (clearly fresh) surgery was from or why it was needed, guessing it was from a spay, but she might have had a litter. The wounds were also starting to get infected. Then they told me (at the pet store) they might be able to take them out themselves. The woman only had suture clip, NOT STAPLE CLIPS!!!! She began to tug the staples out as my dog cried. I let her know I would pay the fee and would like her to stop abusing my dog.

Although I am very happy with my dog, it is frustrating how rude, condescending and outright abusive the group is. They seem to have no regard to the health of the dogs and certainly not the prospective families.

Today we stop by to see the dogs at a event they had in Beaverton 3 Females were employees taking care of the dogs 2 of them were particularly looking out for the dogs , Both we're rude to the dogs and they were drinking alcohol beverages? One of the puppies had a Tick. I wonder if the money we donated today is going towards the dogs medicines or to volunteers alcohol drinks??

i'd give 'em a zero if I could. Received conflicting information on dog, was mad when I called them on it just to try and clarify. Rude and combative. Not sure if they are liars or incompetent. Turns out, the dog we adopted was sick as h***; vet wasn't surprised when he learned where we got the dog from. A grand later, we have a healthy dog, but definitely not the who we thought we were adopting. Stay away from this place.

i'm only a 10 year old and i went to pet smart to try to get a dog . i have really bad allergies to dogs and was looking for a good dog i was at pet smart before and noticed how the owner of the the system was really heartless to the animals and staffs too . she would always yell at kids like me and was a jerk to everyone but i did not go near her the first time and did not say anything to my mom. but the next time i went to the store and they had a sale on dogs i was yelled at by her for no reason ! here's what happened... so this guy was handing out treats for the dogs and he said we could take as many as we wanted so i took a hand full and fed it to the dogs and the lady saw my sis take some from the bag and not from the guy and she told her not to so she didn't . my mom works for another rescue so i think when she yelled at me it was cause of that and i guess she thought i took from the bag. so when she saw me she yelled "STOP DOING THAT!!!!!" and she did it in front of everyone . so i felt like i wanted to cry not knowing what i did. i think she saw that guy was handing out treats and thought it was fun to just be a jerk. she was only in this for money after all. so i went to pay for the pet food we got and one of the ladies who worked there said " did something happen?" and i told her the story . she got me and my sis lanterns and she said she was sorry . so we left. i was too sad to stick up for my self in front of her. so that's what happened she was really mean also she doesn't treat the dogs kindly at all.
so note to self never go there unless to tell her whats on my mind!

It is sad when you meet someone who is condescending and rude. The owner of this organization screams misery and hatred for the public she is supposed to be serving. Her attitude is to the detriment of the animals she keeps.
She refused to give me any information belittling me for not reading her website. Basically so she did not need to give information or talk to the client. Maybe intentional but serious flaw in customer service in general.
Petsmart should be more selective of the organization's they choose to host adoptions.
Instead of reading her website, I should have read all these reviews first before wasting my time to go and meet someone who needs to examine her life and figure out why she is so miserable. I feel sorry for her, but more the dogs who will not get adopted because of her attitude!!!

My family adopted a dog from All Terriers Rescue Hunters Crossing when they had an adoption event at the PetsMart on Cascade Ave in Oregon on Saturday, November 26, 2016. When we brought him back to our house, he tried attacking me cats. I panicked and emailed the rescue about returning him. I was told that they only accept returns on Saturdays at 10am. I also called them and spoke to the owner about how to introduce him to my cats. The only thing I was told was to not introduce them and to crate him. The next day, we bought a crate but he broke out of it within 40 minutes. We were concerned about the safety of our cats, so my husband and I decided to post an ad on craigslist in case we had to rehome him immediately. Our powt got flagged immediately so it was taken down. After a few days, the dog was adjusting and things started to calm down. We started bonding with him and realized that we did not want rehome him. On Wednesday, November 30, 2016, I received a call from the owner stating that she was voiding our contract and wanted the dog back on Saturday. She threatened me a lawsuit if I did not comply. My family was devastated and did not want them to take this dog back, so we spoke with a lawyer that informed us that they have dealt with this organization before because they sued a previous adopter for breach of contract; however, the lawyer had the case dismissed. I also has him and a couple other lawyers look over my contract and every one of them stated that they saw no breach of contract. Unfortunately, we could not afford to defend ourselves in court if she decided to sue us; therefore, we gave her our dog on Saturday December 3. My family is devastated. We also were not refunded the $300 adoption fee that we gave them and from my understanding they are going to put the dog up for adoption again for an additional $300 adoption fee. The way they conduct business is very shady and unprofessional.

Rudest and absolutely heartless people who run this organization. They do not simply care about the animals they shelter. All they care about is making money. They will be completely disrespectful to anyone who may consider adoption.
Shady group of bitter old women who have simply lived out their time on this planet. I feel completely awful for all the animals in their care. These women who run this organization if you would call it that (much more like a cruel cattle ranch) do not know anything about humanity. They will go to great lengths to avoid questions as well as contact via phone. They're all about cash. A non profit organization wouldn't be so money hungry if they truly cared about animals. They will "sell" sick animals simply because they are trying to move "inventory". I will however implore people with big hearts to save these poor innocent animals from the clutches of these old bags. Avoid the ring leader at all cost as she is the rudest hateful creature of them all. She will tug on a dogs leash her way regardless if the dog is feeling scared or sad. She has no heart and no soul. Cruelty is her choice of behavior towards the animals. She thirsts for money. That alone should be a red flag that this is in fact not a non profit organization.

My neighbor had a dog purchased through this group. The dog escaped through the fence. This rescue showed up to retrieve the dog in addition to other volunteers. They had dogs stacked in crates in their van and they did not want anyone to help look for the dog. Why? Because once the dog was located, they seized it from him and claimed it was in the contract. They can basically seize a dog for most any reason stated in the contract. There got in a fight with other volunteers, the police were called, it was a mess. In the end, they were allowed to take the dog because it was a civil matter. I do not believe the $300 was refunded. This is not a true non profit.

I adopted our puppy from one of their PetSmart events. None of the employees from the rescue were there, and if they were, I doubt I would have done it. The adoption process was normal, except for the all cash fee, which was kind of shady, but I figured they wanted to avoid processing fees, so I went with it. I had a great woman at PetSmart helping me and she suggested I take her to Banfield as soon as possible because as a puppy, she still needed some vaccines. The way she said it made me feel a little uneasy, but I assumed she was just upselling their vet services. After two days I've noticed some things about our new puppy and I had some questions, so I emailed the rescue. I've received nothing but lies and rude responses. She even threatened to take our puppy from us if we brought her to the vet. What rescue would do that!? Only a rescue with something to hide. After reading the reviews on here, I understand why she said that. I will be taking my new puppy to the vet, and that vet will be taking care of her, and there's nothing the rescue can do about it. She claims it's in my contract, but the exact opposite is in my contract. I'm thankful for this little girl, she's a great addition to our family, and I'm glad to have gotten her out of that hell hole. But in the future, I will ONLY be adopting from shelters. This rescue has ruined all rescues for me. I don't trust any of them.

Very rude staff. I witnessed one of their staff being really cold and was unnecessarily punishing one of the dogs they had. When we asked her to stop her response was "if you don't like it. Take it home". People who care about dogs would never refer to one as "it". They clearly do not care for the animals they have.

These people either know nothing about the dogs they adopt out or else falsify it. Do not trust anything they say because most likely it's made up to get the dog adopted.
There was enough wrong info on the dog's paperwork to make me question whether or not it got all the vaccinations listed on the one sheet.
And because the dog had bitten my child when we got it home I wanted to make sure he got his rabies shot. The rabies vaccination paperwork given with my adopted dog was neither signed by a vet nor stamped with the vets seal. When I called Samantha to ask about it she rudely responded that "there was phone number on it wasn't there?"
When I brought the dog to its new vet, they called the number on the rabies paperwork and apparently that vet keeps no records whatsoever of the dogs he services. None. That seemed incredibly suspicious. It's like they just have photocopies of this paper to give people when they get dogs at their adoption events.
If that wasn't enough, the dog was neutered and in his paperwork had a date for the sutures to be removed. When I adopted him, it was almost two weeks past the date for it to be removed. They didn't even bother taking them out! And again when questioned about it was rudely told to just bring him in during their next adoption event.
No thank you!
After adopting the dog I wanted nothing else to do with this horrible organization. They clearly care nothing about rescue and only about making money- The $300 cash only adoption fees. Avoid them and go with a more reputable organization unless you are just desperate to save a pet from their "care."

We chose to foster a dog before adopting to see if she would fit in with our other 2 dogs. At no time was I told that I could not return the dog before the week was up. This sweet pup has become aggressive with my other dogs and with me. My husband has tried calling and left messages to see if we can bring her back so all the dogs can be relived of the stress they are under. Clearly this is not a good match. We have tried everything to make this work. So 3 days and 3 messages and no return call so far. If they are concerned about these dogs I would think that they would at the very least call us back and let us bring her to someone where she would not be so stressed. This is not a safe or healthy situation for any of the animals at this point but there is nothing we can do until someone calls us back! On another note, Samantha is one of the rudest people I have met. Short tempered, not helpful, and clearly is overwhelmed or something. I witnessed her yanking on leashes, yelling at volunteers and in general being rude to a lot of the people she was interacting with including me. She acts like it is an inconvenience to answer as question and responds like you are asking a stupid question. If you are interested in adopting a dog you need to know something about them. She gives information that is clearly incorrect. She told us that the dog we were interested in is 1 1/2-2 yrs old. After getting her home it is clear that she is maybe 10 - 12 mo old. So if you don't know say you don't know, don't give out bad information. They ask no questions about what kind of home these dogs are going to. I watched a small puppy go to a home with 5 kids that were pulling on it and manhandling it even before they got to the car. The poor dog was trying to get away!!!!
Next time I will do my research before I choose a rescue organization to work with. This is not the one. I will update when we hear back from the about returning the little black lab that is so unhappy in our home.

Our family had been considering adopting a dog for quite a while. After seeing an event flyer for this rescue at a Petsmart, we decided to stop by and see the dogs. First, they arrived in a van with cages pile on top of each other and dogs crammed everywhere. When they were finally set up, we went to look at the dogs. There was a small brown puppy that caught my eye immediately and I asked to hold her. I was told that I had to use hand sanitizer because of some issue with this particular litter. I understood that and complied. The puppies were tiny so I assumed their immune systems were still not fully developed and the handler offered no further details. The puppy was very calm and loved being held. I asked the handler about the dogs breed and her exact answer was "we don't know anything about the dogs. We just take them and then get rid of them." My heart sank. She was so rude and cold and uncaring toward the dogs. I had to make sure that at least one dog did not go back home with this group. I took her straight to the check out area they have set up and paid the cash only $300. While waiting, I heard one of the other workers tell 3 people that she would give them the antibiotics for the kennel cough. I knew when adopting this dog that there were going to be health issues but I honestly just wanted to save her from her horrific surroundings. Their paperwork said "most people say they don't see the dogs true personality for many weeks after bringing them home. I'm convinced that is because the dogs are so sick they can't function. They recommend a vet to take them too and even suggest that they will help in the first 7 days. I knew if they had done such a horrible job to start with I sure wasn't going to let them continue caring for her. She ended up being diagnosed with kennel cough, collapsed trachea and giardia. The kennel cough was an easy, though expensive, medicine and it cleared up in a few weeks. The collapsed trachea is common in this tiny breed and was eased by putting a harness on the dog instead of a collar when on a leash. The giardia, on the other hand, has been a nightmare. The diarrhea alone has been horrible. But it has taken three rounds, of $120 each time medicine, to even get close to her being better. They also pushe an all organic diet that they swore she loved. After buying the very expensive food, she refused to eat. Although this could have been more due to her being so sick. We are thankful to that we found a wonderful vet who loves this dog as much as we do and she has really helped make her in to the loving dog she is. She still has the giardia, 2 months later. But I am happy knowing she is in a safe and loving home instead of what I can imagine she suffered through. She was VERY shy and scared of people when they approached her when we adopted her. Today, she is a fun and outgoing puppy who had a hearty appetite and loves being around people. I'd beware of this rescue if you don't have the time to care for a sick dog. But if your heart really is in saving and rescuing a dog, please I beg you to go to this event and help the dogs there. They really need someone who will love them and can afford the bills.

The dog I adopted is sick. According to my vet, this is very common with this organization! Watch out!

My husband and I along with our two kids got to PetSmart on Cascade Ave right at 1:00 PM on Saturday to see a Husky that was up for adoption. He was not there. Yes, I was disappointed but even more so when we were told by the person running the rescue that there are other Huskies out there. That was not the point. We literally had to pry the information out of her to find out that the dog had not yet been neutered and therefore could not be inside the store and it was to hot outside to show him outside. I totally understood that and even though I thought the person was very rude in her tone and her comment I decided to email them Saturday inquiring whether I could meet the dog before the next showing on Thursday from 4 - 7 as I live in the same area as the shelter. I received the following response and was tickled pink..."I am happy to show him to you on Thursday at the Petsmart at 4 pm if you would like that appt please let me know." I responded with "Whew...I almost missed your reply as I was scanning for a different email address. Yes please, I would like the appointment to meet him at Petsmart this Thursday at 4 PM." Well, as you can guess, things didn't go as planned today. Here is what I emailed back today..."I was there today before 4:00 PM. Apparently, two people were there before me and one of them got to adopt the Husky. I was there last Saturday but the Husky was not there as he had not yet been neutered, and it was to hot to have him outside. I went back today for the 4:00 appointment that we agreed to via email but it did not make a difference. It was very disappointing to me and to my kids as well, who were there last Saturday and thankfully not there today.

I suggest not asking folks who email you if they would like an appointment if you are not going to keep the appointment. While I was there I was told that each person who wanted to adopt would be spoken to and the best home would be picked but that didn't happen either. The guy who was there to adopt the Husky was not spoken to and I was only asked whether I live in a house or an apt. I was told by the woman who runs the rescue that the dog would probably be back there in a couple weeks as the girl who was adopting him could not handle him. I said that was sad and not good for the dog, and the response I got was that the dog has to learn somehow. That is a terrible attitude to have for someone who is supposed to care for these dogs, and care about getting them in the right home. The whole point is to not have them end up in a shelter again....isn't it?

The entire experience was very disheartening. It's experiences like these that make people like me want to buy a dog from a breeder in lieu of going through what my family has gone through to get the dog since last Saturday.

I can only hope my comments will make a positive difference."

I got the impression that it's just a business and not a way to truly help pair folks with the rescues. She could not be bothered to provide any information. Last Saturday we literally had to keep digging to get more information about whether the dog was still available and when we could see him next. Her tone was very insulting. I would never recommend anyone to All Terrier Rescue in Aloha, OR for adoption.

Awesome experience! We've had our pup for 3 weeks. They are always there to answer any questions we have had on Barfly. Our family has had the best luck to our newest addition!

These people flat out lied to us about the dog they wanted us to adopt. Now it's been two long years of daily training and she's nearly a decent pet. They told me she loved dogs and people, stopped whining as soon as she settled in, had never gotten in any fights with other dogs, liked the city, etc. When she was a little reactive in the petsmart they said that was not like her at all, it was just chaotic there so she was nervous. I should've known better than to believe them, but I had been so clear with my questions and what I could not have in a dog, I didn't think they'd be dishonest if they wanted to find her a good home.

She is intensely neurotic, whines all the time, extremely reactive and aggressive toward other dogs and sometimes people, everything you don't want is what they pawned off on me.

When I contacted them about her again they changed their story completely. Said that I wasn't being "firm" enough with her and that was the only problem (even though they preach positive reinforcement). Then they told me that when she got into fights with other dogs at the shelter they would spray her in the face with bitter apple! No wonder she has a phobia of squirt bottles and hates other dogs so much! Then the lady on the phone tried to blame me, saying i just didn't know the breed (this is the only breed I've owned, we've had at least one in the house my whole life).

Horrible people who will work hard to saddle you with whatever dog they're sick of. I spent $2000 on this dog the first year in specialty training and vet bills (oh ya, your dog will be sick and have the worst worm infestation you've ever seen, and fleas).

STAY AWAY from this "rescue"! They will tell you any bold fave lie they think will get a dog out of their hair for $300.

This so called rescue gets a big fat ZERO just as do all the rescues that buy or collect from puppy mills....for sure they must pay for these animals if not they would not be making a profit from using human drugs and keeping sick animals.
They claim these animals are "up to date on shots" and "have a clean bill of health" ..yeah, right.
I hope people wise up and stop with the HAVE TO HAVE A PET neuroses. Instead go for a walk, spend time with your kids, spouse etc...then we can start to put an end to these greedy, abusive corp. aholes!

We adopted a puppy from All Terrier Rescue during the summer, and he's an amazing dog. Seeing the other reviews here, I assume we were lucky. ATR themselves, were much less impressive. After bringing the puppy home, (who we paid $300 for, and they made us buy other things from the PetSmart where they were adopting out their dogs), we found out he had kennnel cough. The vet also said a puppy from ATR was recently brought in with a sickness which it sadly died from, they tested our dog for the sickness (which escapes me atm), luckily he didn't have it. We contacted them, and they did uphold the health plan, but it was sketchy. They gave us the address to a house in Aloha. My dad went, and they gave him a bag of pills to give to the puppy by mouth. The kennel cough cleared up in about a week. My dad looked up the pills, and found that they were human pills from Mexico.... We got the follow up shots from the nearby veterinary clinic which has since been his main clinic.

The dog, Strider, has been great. He's very loving and playful and gets along okay with our two cats. He does have severe separation anxiety, and gets nervous and barks when he sees people outside our house.

Anyhow, I probably would have rated one star, but Strider is a very sweet boy. So I guess that makes up for it.

Just recently adopted a puppy from here, I do not recommend adopting a puppy from here. The puppy costs 300 dollars and apparently has all of its shots and vaccines, however the day we brought home our puppy she was infested with fleas and itching and biting herself so bad from it that she got severe gashes on her forehead. She also has been throwing up everywhere. Sadly, we have to return her to this horrible place due to the fact she doesn't get along with my cat and isn't a good fit for our family, although I love her and she is an amazing dog. The thought of her having to go back there makes me sick to my stomach. I'm in tears just thinking about giving her back.

We adored a puppy through All Terrier. Through veterinary evaluation it is aparent that the puppy is 6 weeks younger than was quoted to us. It also makes us suspicious the her medical history in her adoption paperwork has been altered. The Behaviorist also punched a dog during an adoption event for eating people food, which was left next to the dog.

All Terrier Rescue deserves 0 stars. Approximately 5-6 months months ago a dear friend of mine adopted a dog from them. When they proceeded to get her spayed at Vista pet hospital ( scheduled by ATR) they discovered she was pregnant. ATR then took custody of their dog and puppies and said she now belonged to them.

Forward to today and the shepherd is now listed for adoption but here puppies have never been on the website!! My friends wanted to give her and the puppies a loving home but ATR was not willing to work with them and said they would never adopt out to them again.

My question is what happened to the puppies? Is ATR selling for profit on the side? And if these animals are getting proper medical treatment them how did they not know she was pregnant?

Do not adopt from this company. Instead help find a way to save the dogs they are caring for and close them down! !

They do not uphold their own 7-10 day health guarantee and are rude and combative when you try to work woth them towards a resolution! They do not deserve your money!
