I fostered a pit bull with grass roots. They didn't tell me the dogs background and pushed that this dog would be amazing for me. I should add that I have an 8 year old and a small dog in my home that the rescue knows about. This pitbull comes from a very abusive background and never should have been placed in my home.
My oldest is 23, she walked him to his crate and took off his leash and as he was walking in he suddenly turned around and with no warning he went after my small dog. He grabbed her by the face and held her neck bitting hard into her skin and shook her violently from side to side. My daughter put her hands in his mouth desperately trying to to force his jaws open and he drug her and the dog back to his crate. My daughter isn't a small person that's easy to move btw! He almost had them in his crate when my husband ran up and grabbed his neck and pulled him out of the crate and somehow managed to get the pitbull to release our small dog. We were then able to grab her to safety and they got the pitbull in his crate and locked the door.
I have screenshots showing what happened. The rescue paid the emergency vet fee but refused to pay any further care as my dog healed days later she had more problems and needs vet care. The rescue doesn't care.
If you get involved with this rescue be extremely careful! They don't care about you, anyone in your home or any animals in your home. They happily state they are not responsible for any injuries or damages to you, your family, other pets ECT.
They do not know how to behavior test animals, DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THEM. I'm trying to figure out how to pay my latest vet appointment for our dog. I reported them to animal control in DE. I hope they get stopped before their dogs hurt or kill someone.
We were blessed to find this organization and 2 of their rescues. We have in the last year adopted Larry (fka Laramie) and Sara Lee (fka Ghost) both senior dogs ages 11 and 10 yrs old. They are without a doubt a blessing to our home and the 3 senior dogs that welcomed them when they came. I can't say enough good things about this rescue. They are more than worthy of support as well as checking out their available pets. You will be glad you did. Thank you Grass Roots for all you do and the calling that all the foster families have to provide a safe home for these beautiful souls.
I was excited to adopt a pet from this agency. Their logo is " the home of the perfectly imperfect", But if you are not a perfect person they will not allow you to adopt a pet no matter what the situation is or how good of a home you can offer a pet. I was accused of something 20 years ago and was cleared and they turned me down even though I am a successful career associate now. I did not understand but I did adopt a pet from another Rescue Center without any issues and my family is doing well with our new addition. I think Grass Root should dig deeper before they judge and change their logo.
