Companion Pet Rescue And Transport Of W Tn Inc

DO NOT ADOPT FROM CPR!! Horrible people who do not treat dogs properly. They lie about puppy diagnoses, then try to hide behind their emails when asked to defend their lies.

I had an incredible experience adopting a wonderful, healthy puppy from Companion Pet Rescue (CPR) in January 2023. From the start, the adoption process was smooth and comprehensive, ensuring a seamless transition for my new fur baby. My puppy arrived up to date on all her vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. Additionally, CPR offered me a free month of pet insurance to get us started on the right paw. They even provided valuable promotions from local pet stores, making purchasing all the essentials for my new puppy easy.
The team at CPR is exceptional—friendly, caring, and highly professional. Their dedication to the well-being of their animals and their adopters is truly inspiring. I enthusiastically recommend CPR to everyone in my community, both on social media and fellow dog lovers I meet at the dog park. They are doing remarkable work, and I couldn’t be happier with my fur baby!

I have adopted both of my dogs from CPR. I also had the pleasure of fostering 8 others. The dogs are well cared for while they are in CPR's care. The team is very knowledgeable about each dog and takes the time to get to know them and help them find the best forever home possible. I have recommended CPR to friends and will continue to do so!

I have adopted both my rescue pups from them. They were outstanding! knowledgeable about the individual dogs, helpful and supportive. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a puppy or dog.

I began fostering and have been a volunteer since 2004 for CPR. There’s a reason I have been in this Rescue that long. I would say the number one reason is integrity to save as many animals as possible, and to find quality homes. This rescue has taken in animals with injuries, illnesses and some from horrific circumstances requiring excessive medical care. Vet bills add up quickly and it takes fundraising to cover the expenses. I personally have so many transformation stories I could share that could not have happened except for CPR. I have had many adopters come back to adopt another countless times because of the positive professional experience with CPR. I am grateful for the village of people that pour their lives and hearts into these dogs and pups. There are many untold beautiful stories about helping people as well. When an elderly person has a pregnant dog dropped off on them, with limited income, those pups grow up and pretty soon they find themselves in a desperate situation of several generations of puppies and need help from rescue. CPR has stepped in when possible and assisted. I have had the privilege of fostering many dogs through heartworm treatment, amputations from injury, eye removals from gunshot wounds and I could keep on naming more terrible situations where CPR has stepped in and helped. I have often said that if I called Molli ( the founder and director of CPR) and told her I found a very unattractive dog with three legs, no hair, an eye injury and starving she would tell me to get him or her and we would figure it out. CPR leadership and volunteers make no distinction of mixed and purebred dogs. They are beautiful souls that deserve a home. I thank God every day that I have been able to be a part of seeing so many dogs that would have died having amazing lives!!! Most of them have better lives than I do lol!!! I will share some pics if the website allows. Sincerely, Susan Gilbert

CPR is an amazing rescue organization. I rescued a pregnant dog who had five puppies a couple of weeks later. After caring for the little family for 4 months they were ready to find their forever homes. And they all found wonderful homes through CPR. The families were chosen with care and I was given the opportunity to speak with each family and choose who would be the best fit for these precious lives I had come to love. I could not be happier with the outcome.

I was animal control for 4 ½ yrs. in a small town in Tn., I also worked at the local Humane Society. I was always searching for rescues to help place the dogs that came into the shelter to save their lives. When I retired from both jobs, I continued to foster dogs & puppies at my home. The majority of dogs & puppies I fostered for is when I hooked up with Companion Pet Rescue. People don’t and won’t understand the number of animals that are homeless, due to people not spaying or neutering their pets. Backyard breeders to make a buck off a puppy, with that puppy never getting any vetting of shots or getting spayed or neutered. People just dump their animals out in the country. It’s an overwhelming & never-ending cycle. Shelters are full and fosters are few. I’ll gladly foster for a rescue that supplies the food, the shots, the meds, and vet care for said animal. CPR does all of that. My time, which is all volunteer not paid services, get the dogs & pups ready for finding a new forever home. It takes 3, sometimes 4 shots for puppies before they can leave. They are dewormed multi times, tick & flea given and taken to the vet for spay & neutering & rabies if age appropriate. We won’t get into the horrors of Parvo or distemper that may come with said puppy or adult. Or the overload of heartworm they come in with. But CPR does treatment for such things and it’s not cheap. Pictures taken & they are posted to the web site in search of a forever home. Some get adopted before going up to Conn. The ones that don’t get adopted go up to stay with fosters or a holding area where they go to events 4 days out of the week to get them seen and into homes so that they will happily live out their lives. CPR also takes in mommas of puppies and mommas are never left behind unless the person would prefer to keep them. Then CPR makes an appointment to get that momma spayed and it comes not out of the owner’s pocket but CPR. So much good CPR does for the communities. It saddens me when a bad review comes in to trash this rescue. I say they don’t know what they are talking about, they don’t see what all goes into this rescue, the people that are committed to saving dogs and the overhead to making it all work, the people behind the scenes to make the events run smoothly week after week. So if you can’t walk the walk, you need sit down & shut up.

I have been working with Companion Pet Rescue since I was probably around 7-8 years old, so for the last 16-17 years. Throughout the last 16-17 years, we have rescued and been able to save emaciated dogs, dogs that have been severely abused and neglected, strays ate up with heartworms, and countless dogs from being put to sleep at our local rabies control. Out of the hundreds of dogs we have rescued, only a few have not had some kind of rough story. Thanks to Companion Pet Rescue, all of these sweet babies were given a second chance and were adopted out to loving homes where they get treated better than most kids do. Without Companion Pet Rescues endless and tiring work and dedication, the dogs in the south would be looking at a very meek and dark future.

I rescue and pull dogs as an individual from horrible situations and euthanasia lists in rural southern counties. This takes alot of passion, time and persistence in difficult situations and extremely heartbreaking. I've had my rescues die in my arms from the result of their previous life because they weren't rescued soon enough. I foster several months to get these fur rescues good homes and in a few separate desperate situations I networked them to CPR. On the face front, they seem so compassionate and so eager to help these dogs but they are extremely manipulative behind the scenes and serve their special interest which is making filthy lucre off flipping dogs from rural TN and transporting them up to northern states to make quick profit often times $500+ a dog. Their cost of transit nor vetting is no where near what they charge adopters. Just this last year, because they are 501(c)(3) (Tax Exception) their Form 990 and annual returns are open to public inspection. Their founder is a skilled CPA. They had a revenue of over $1,100,000 and they often have nothing to little in cost for these dogs oftentimes they leave on the next available transport which is weekly. Even after this annual report, they have the audacity to ask for donations. (I point out, I love all the dogs I rescue with every bit of my heart because I've nourished them back to health and try to find them amazing homes) so just imagine when you've networked your fur family babies into a "compassionate rescue" and you never hear anything about them ever again. Absolutely no updates on my kids that I put so much love and time into, no compensations (ethical rescues ALWAYS compensate fosters, whether it be in dog food, their clothing, shampoo, medicine, etc) absolute cut off from all CPR representatives and even their founder just because I was inquiring about the homes where my rescues were adopted to. No pictures, no communication and blocked by them ALL. (They are well known to avoid and do this with anyone who isn't waving money in their face to adopt "their" dogs.) Meanwhile, all their paid representatives share these amazing stories of how their adopters reach out to them showing them loving photos of their new fur babies and how grateful they are that CPR helped them. I soon found out they made over $7,000 on just my rescues alone and had them in their care just under two weeks. I've networked dogs into several rescues and CPR is by far the most deceitful and non-transparent 501(c)(3) I've come across. They are truly abusing the dog shortage in the north and using a loop hole in the rural south of homeless and over bred dogs to profit gains that are no where near what the costs of doing this is. Their hearts are not in these dogs, but cashing in on the adorableness of puppies and oftentimes made up sad stories that are intentionally designed to sell them. They are one of the abundance of dirty rescues out there and they need to be thoroughly investigated.

My husband and I made several attempts to find out where our $100. donation check went as it was not cashed. We tried the email on the site, Facebook messaging to no avail. I made a comment to an administrator concerning the uncashed check which at that point, I was frustrated after receiving no responses. I was called "rude and unkind". Basically, I just commented that it was too bad that they couldn't find my check or respond. My husband even offered a resend if needed. It was also from our IRA and we could have been penalized. This administrator took it upon herself to condemn us as rude and unkind people for wondering where our donation went. I had been an active volunteer several years ago, had adopted my dog with CPR. I remember climbing up and down those van steps and walking dogs and taking Adivil for my back when I got home. This is the thanks I get . My husband and I are "rude and unkind". I am so heartbroken to be treated this way, and I pity the animals that have administrators who are so cruel to people who want to help. I said "please remove me from your volunteer list" as you don't need my donations or me. Very sad. As they say, "dogs are more loving than some people."

Companion Pet Rescue is wonderful to work with from a rescue standpoint. They use their resources to their full pontential and they follow through on their commitments. They are professional, polite, respectful of the work of other rescues. When they rescue a litter of puppies they rescue the mom too, regardless of her health. They never hesitate to give sound advice to smaller rescues, they are always approachable and generous. The officers who make all of the decisions in terms of governance are hands on with the animals so their decisions are made with knowledge and with concern for each animal as an individual.
