Great place to work! Peggy Adams embodies the mission to find homes for all pets stranded in our communities! Peggy Adams also takes good care of their staff members! Thank You Peggy Adams!
Volunteering for Peggy’s has been the most greatest experience of my life and being there for the cats and dogs has helped me a lot because being with those cuddle bugs are my therapy and seeing them when I’m there makes me grow an attachment and I will forever love Peggy Adams for their amazing staff, and loving animals
I volunteer as a customer relations representative with cats at the adoption center. This is a state-of-the-art facility with devotion and quality care by all staff and volunteers. The animals receive the best care and it is truly rewarding when an animal finds their forever home. It is so rewarding for me, as well, to be part of the
Peggy Adams family. Jane R.
I volunteer as a dog walker at Peggy Adams and a very impressed with the level of care and attention that the dogs receive. It shows, because virtually all of the dogs I walk are friendly, trusting and happy — quite an achievement in view of the difficult circumstances many of them were in before arriving at Peggy Adams. Roy’s to be involved with such a well run organization!
We have 2 dogs from Peggy Adams and have had very positive experiences. Both are loving and a joy to be around. We have donated, used training services, adopted and hope to one day foster. Please support those that do not have a voice. You will get more than you give.

I adopted a dog December, 2022. She was a challenge at first as she is a chewer. But, I have to say that over time and with a little work she is loving her new home and she is such a good family dog. Coco has adopted one of our other dogs as her mentor (also from Peggy Adams) and they get along so well. Aunt Hattie is the best dog ever and has taken Coco under her wing.
The incredible work Peggy Adams does continues to amaze me, not only for animals, but for members of our community who are struggling to afford proper care for their pets. It’s truly amazing to see how far this organization has come over the past 100 years.
Been volunteering at Peggy Adams for several years. They are all so compassionate and caring for the animals they help out. Just love being there and being a part of the volunteer family, They never give less than the best to their patients and families whether it's behind the scenes or with the customers. I have and will continue to support and recommend them.
I love to volunteer for Peggy Adams in the TLC program for cats and kittens. It is very enjoyable to be able to help get them adopted into loving homes. The staff is friendly and the condos and rooms are kept very clean. It is a well run organization and I look forward to volunteering every Friday.
I have been volunteering at Peggy Adams for over 20 years and it is such a rewarding experience !
Just knowing that you are helping to save animals that have been abandoned or neglected is very gratifying.
I help to walk dogs and get them out of their kennels for a while for a little socialization. Even though they can't speak the words, you can see their gratitude by their waggly tails and their happy struts around the campus. They are sooo happy to get out of their kennels for a while.
I also help with dog training, we have classes to the public every Sat morning and it is so rewarding to help an adopter get their dog to stop jumping and pulling or to learn to sit and down.
Training also helps get dogs adopted and helps keep them in their homes if they are well-behaved. Volunteering here has really made me feel like I am helping by serving others.
I adopted my amazing cat Mac at Peggy Adams! They made the process so easy and even followed up after the adoption to make sure he was doing well at home. It's by far the cleanest and friendliest animal shelter I've ever visited.
We had an excellent experience with adopting a small to medium size dog today. The staff was extremely helpful from the start. They encouraged us to tour and meet all of their available dogs. They helped us determine which of the pups was the right one for us. They were incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable of the dogs under their care. Thank you for what you all do everyday with love, respect and care. We will continue to support your efforts.
Peggy Admas is an amazing place to adopt and find your new family member. The organization stands behind their mission and offers so much for the animals and community. Peggy Adams offers so many different programs and ways to get involved for all ages. A great place to get involved.
Peggy Adams is a great nonprofit and their work with animals is excellent. They kennels and rooms are clean and the animals are well cared for. I would recommend this organization to a friend!
We have rescued two incredible dogs from Peggy Adams and are grateful they are part of our family. Peggy Adams is a wonderful organization.
I adopted my American Bully Buku from Peggy Adams in 2021 and became a volunteer there doing dog care and events the following year. The staff and other volunteers are so passionate about what they do in finding a loving home for every dog and cat that comes into their care, and are also so supportive of pet parents with questions and training post-adoption. I am so proud to volunteer with them and to have adopted my sweet girl from them as well. Thank you for all you do!
I volunteer at Peggy Adams and it is a great place to volunteer. They offer so many services to the community : low cost spay and neuter , a food bank to help needy people feed their pets , a low-cost vaccine clinic , and behavior and training classes for the public to keep dogs in their forever homes. They even help people who are being hospitalized by boarding their animals for free until they get out of the hospital. They also help women who are victims of domestic violence by boarding their pets for free until they get into a safe situation. So many great services and a great place to volunteer and feel like you are making a difference!
When we lost our beloved German Shepherd, Mason, our Pitbull, Dudley was so depressed. All of us felt the loss, but Dudley needed a buddy in the worst way. We knew we needed to find the right pup and so we adopted Dexter from Peggy Adams and the experience was amazing. Dexter came with his momma and 7 siblings from an overcrowded shelter to Peggy Adams for a second chance and we were happy to give it! Peggy Adams has so many incredible programs like the transport program that saves lives, like that of our precious Dexter and his entire family.
Dexter has brought life and fun back to our family and Peggy Adams made this possible. The staff help make the best match between pet and family and the entire experience has been amazing.
Peggy Adams animals are so sweet and treated well. Sometimes I just go visit the animals. I especially like that we can go into the rooms with cats and play with them. It is a great way to see their personalities!
We adopted our new baby Gigi Sunday! The two ladies at the front desk were AMAZING!! I forgot one of their names, but one was Eddie. The two girls spoke about our needs and suggested Gigi to us. I didn't want that type of dog, or a female, but kept an open mind. We met Gigi. We are in LOVE with her!!!!! Shes everything we wanted and more. We can't thank those two girls enough for their experience and caring to help pick out our new family member! She is doing great here in her new home, and we are loving her more every minute. Your facility was beautiful and so clean also. The dogs have nice areas that aren't to confine and have the ability to get fresh air. Thats fantastic! Here's some baby pics. Our hearts are fill...
We came in on 3/24 to see a dog that had been posted for adoption on the Peggy Adams website. While that pup ended up not being a good fit, they recommended Oreo. Oreo is a senior dog who was an awkward size and also barked from his kennel when people approached, but they assured us he was sweet. We hit it off immediately with Oreo and decided to bring home our newest family member :-) Oreo (now named Frank since he didn't respond to Oreo lol) fits in our house like he was just meant to be here....he is the best snuggler, is already super protective of our family (including our 4 year old), and LOVES car rides and chasing lizards. THANK YOU Peggy Adams!
What an amazing place! Such caring staff members dedicated to finding these incredible animals their forever home. Shout out to Holly who helped us find our sweet 3-year-old Hazel. We are blessed to have her and will cherish her for the rest of her days :)
Meet Sawyer, my 3-year old Yellow Lab/Black Mouth Cur mix. I adopted this sweet cuddle bug from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League on Dec. 1, 2023! Sawyer is an incredible abandonment survivor as well as my spirit animal. He's so cute, too ❤️
Sawyer is heart worm positive, underweight, and has skin/coat issues. It's going to take a lot of dedication, attention and TLC to help him get back into optimum condition. I'm OK with that, though. He needs me and I realize that I need him.
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is an awesome facility. With their onsite Wellness Clinic and Boutique, they have everything you need to have a successful adoption experience. In fact, Peggy Adams will be supporting me and Sawyer with a wealth of invaluable resources along his heartworm-free journey. Sawyer deserves to live his best life. Peggy Adams and I will make sure that he does!
Since 2007 I believe I have been adopting from here, and the last couple of years helped with fostering kittens. I just love the mission to save as many animals possible, it’s low cost to bring your pets here for services, staff is always nice. Nothing but good things to say!
Peggy Adams is the BEST place to adopt a pet! I have adopted two cats at Peggy Adams, and the it was a great experience each time. The free-roaming cat rooms allow you to meet lots of cats face to face before adopting. The medical care they provide before adoption is very impressive! My kitties were already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before I took them home. I am now fostering for Peggy Adams, and the foster staff has been so supportive and helpful. I highly encourage anyone interested to adopt, foster, or volunteer at Peggy Adams!
Amazing new building for adoptions! You can tell the organization really cares for each and every animal that comes through their doors. Their low-cost clinic and services to the community are also outstanding and a fantastic resource for Palm Beach County residents. I have fostered kittens through Peggy Adams and also used their TNVR services to help the community cats in my parents neighborhood.
It is wonderful to see so many animals finding their forever homes thanks to Peggy Adams! Especially seeing animals like Baby Smurf who were saved and brought back to good health!
We are a cat foster family with PeggyAdams.org for 3+ years and love everything about this organization. Their heart is in the right place and they do what ever they can to save the lives of these beautiful animals. The staff is wonderful and accommodating as much as possible. The last cat family I had was Bubbles and her 5 beautiful babies. PA provided everything we needed to make sure this family will stay healthy and they are now getting ready to find their forever home. As owners of 6 cats of our own, we are grateful to the Holly work PeggyAdams.org is doing for our community. Special shout out to Mandy Mattox and Adriana Delgado who are so passionate about this mission.
From the first messages of Peggy Adams reaching out, they have been so kind and helpful. Originally, I signed up as a foster mama, and ended up with the sweetest little puppy ever. They provided supplies, food, everything I could ever need including support when I had any questions. If any emergencies came up, no matter the time, all was taken care of. It was truly the best way to love and care for a sweet fur baby and without the financial obligation. I highly recommend fostering with Peggy Adams if you have a some space in your home. 1 week with you could save their life forever! After one day with Honey she stole my heart and I knew I couldn’t let her go. I ended up adopting her and transition was smooth and straight forward. Every person I worked with from vets, to foster staff to adoptions staff was so warm, loving and friendly. They made this process truly wonderful. Thank you Peggy Adams for connecting me with my sweet Honey girl! If you’re considering adopting or fostering, this is the place to do it!!
I have been volunteering for over a year. I walk the dogs as well as volunteer in the pre and post op surgical unit. I drive an hour because it’s so worth the trip. I have never seen such love and care as these animals get. For example. A Warm towel after surgery. Come see for yourself. Volunteer if you can. They love and appreciate us as much as the animals do. The animals are so loved it shows in their behavior. I have also volunteered for 3 spay day events. Wow. What an event
I lost the love of my life, Sandy, on July 21st 2023. She was a great dog and she left a huge void in my heart. On 8/1 I came to Peggy's and found my new love, Trixi. The adoption process was so perfect and the young lady who helped me went above and beyond to listen to me and matched me with Trixi, who is just the dog I was looking for. God bless everyone at the rescue who cares so deeply for these animals. And thank you for my new angel! You have made me very very happy.
I loved every second I had at Peggy Adams! They have expanded their cat department so much and it is so clean. You can tell the cats are well taken care of and loved. Jamie helped me with any questions I had and she was extremely patient with me as I wandered into every room until I found my sweet girls. Highly recommend Peggy Adams!!
Well... our 10 year old Chihuahua recently passed a few weeks ago and my wife has been longing for another lap dog. We walked the kennels two weeks ago and couldnt find a small dog that meshed with us. Yesterday we saw Jade (AKA Corazon) and knew immediately this dog would fit in.
Adam was amazing telling us about her, plus we fell in love with her the first time he brought her in the room with us. She has been home 24 hours only but has already made friends with our dog and cat. Thank You Peggy Adams, for giving us our second rescue in 2 years!!

I adopted ROSIE from Peggy Adams and thought I was too old to keep her so I yesterday, Sunday I was taking her back. I called when I got home to go back and get her and they said she was adopted 15 min. after I left. My mistake has caused me so much grief and they would not try to contact whoever took her in the 15 min. They failed me and my dog ROSIE. They should have allowed 24 hrs. They saw how upset and crying I was. At least they could check with the adopters to be SURE they will be keeping ROSIE. Peggy Adams should and still could help me.
Hello. My name is Harriet ＆I recently adopted Penelope. She's been a doll and instantly fit into my family. We love her so much already. I've been in search of a dog to train to be my service animal. I have a seizure disorder, POTs and Functional Neurological Disorder. It's very debilitating ＆ stressful and having a dog eases the anxiety I feel about my condition. She's been extremely loving ＆ I can't thank the shelter staff enough for recommending her for my family. She's perfect.
I went in wanting a kitten. When I passed by Apollo he started walking through my legs as the volunteer told my about him. When he laid down for me to rub his stomach I knew I wasn't leaving there without him. The staff is so helpful & patient. I can't thank them enough for Apollo
We decided we needed a furry friend to add to our family. We went to Peggy Adam’s-what a wonderful experience. The facility was clean, the animals well cared for and staff super friendly. We fell in love with Oscar and brought him home
That day. He fits right in! I highly recommend this place!!
I’ve been looking for a companion dog for my best friend Sammy for a little while. She’s very social and she used to play at the park with her friends every day, but many of our friends moved away or got too old to play. She was getting sad and always pulled me towards other dogs on our walks, but not many were interested in being her friend. Her health was getting worse as well as her anxiety.
I got an email from Peggy Adams stating they were overrun with kittens and waiving adoption fees for them, I looked and saw a few really cute kittens and thought maybe a new kitten would be fun because my younger cat still is under two years old, maybe he’d like a little buddy. I filled out the pre-adoption paperwork and then ended up on a page with dogs. I scrolled down and saw Becky. While reading her profile I started crying and thought she’d be the perfect companion for my Sammy.
The following day I went to Peggy Adams to meet her. The staff were a little surprised that I was asking about Becky. She was very timid and wouldn’t come close to me in our first meeting, or any other meeting. I brought Sammy back the next day to see how they would get along. The two girls just hung out with each other and I couldn’t tell if they’d get along when we got home. But then I remembered how Sammy reacted to meeting me the first time, she barely acknowledged that I was there but as soon as we got home she was my best friend so i thought maybe Becky would be the same.
When I came to pick up Becky she seemed like she might recognize me but hid from me for her adoption photo and would not get into my truck. Once she was in and we started moving she looked out the window and watched the world, approaching me in the front seat when we stopped as I talked to her the whole way home. When we arrived at home she jumped out of the truck and led me to the house. Sammy was ecstatic to see Becky again and Becky hasn’t left my side since we got home. The girls have been snuggling and playing with Sammy trying to teach Becky the ways around here.
Had lost my last cat at the age of 24 a few months ago and was not sure if I would get another until I perused the Peggy Adams website. So many beautiful fur babies to adopt and the selection seems to be endless.
I had used Peggy Adams with other my
Other cats for medical and knew they extreme measures to secure and take care of each and every one of their fur babies.
I found 2 kittens, birth sisters, who melted
Me upon meeting them. 5 months old
And adorable. adorable! Peggy Adams took such care of them and I hope others will follow my lead and consider utilizing this valuable asset to our community. Thanks again!
Peggy Adams is beautiful & clean animal shelter! The animals who are fortunate enough to call this place their temporary home are truly so lucky! The staff is extremely friendly & you can tell these animals receive so much attention. I adopted a cat, Raddle. Her disposition is so sweet and calm. She came home yesterday & believe me, she knows she is home. She is acclimating so fast in her confined space (her for own sanity). Her personality is flourishing by the minuet. I’d to thank Peggy Adams for providing her with the compassion & love she deserves because I think it helps very much during her integration with me.
I would like to start out that nothing that I planned happened the way I wanted and I'm glad it didn't!
I wanted to adopt a female cat around the ages 1-3 because it would be the same age as of my bonded cats. I ended up leaving with a older cat (7 years). I left the Shelter with Aria (renamed Milk) and I do not regret it all. She is adjusting well to her new home. You can tell that older cats appreciate being adopted a lot more than younger cats. I always hate the fact that i see older cats in shelters. The staff was super nice and even let me adopt Aria after adoption hours.
I contacted Peggy Adams after seeing a certain dog posted online. After speaking with Kim we felt it wasn’t a good fit regarding this certain dog. After hearing we have a rottie (we lost her companion a month ago) Kim suggested Max the rottie who just came back to the shelter. We set up a meet & greet and fell in love. Kim made our process so easy and effortless from the start to finish. This was our first ever adoption and just knowing we saved a life is so fulfilling. There are so many amazing pets there that we wish we could have taken them all. We had the best experience and love our max already.
I got my family dog 14 years ago, and now that I’ve moved out for college our apartment had decided to grow our hearts. We brought home Charlie yesterday and it was the best decisions ever. The staff was so friendly and Matt was extremely knowledgeable of every single dog there to help find us the perfect addition. Not only do I visit home to see my family dog from Peggy Adams, I now come to my new home to someone always excited to see me.
I adopted my one eyed Orange Tabby DSH, Odin from here. He is 5 months old and fitting right into our home. We have 2 Australian cattle dogs and one orange tabby 5yr old DSH.
I can not thank Peggy Adams enough for all they have done for me and for what they do for the community. I have adopted 4 dogs from them and each time was an amazing experience. I highly recommend and encourage other to visit, adoption, or donate to them.
We recently adopted our sweet dog from Peggy Adams. The staff who assisted us was very knowledgeable and obviously cared a lot about the animals. We wanted to make sure she was the right dog for us. They allowed us as much time as we needed. We even got to spend with her in the play yard! When we adopted her, they made sure to let us know everything they knew about her and informed us about all of the services they have here. We took advantage of their FREE behavior training to help her get along with our cat. They are now best friends.
We are so fortunate to have this organization in our community! Spay/neuter services, vaccines, preventative medication-all affordable! And the staff and volunteers are beyond dedicated.
I could not be more thankful for Peggy Adams and all they do for animals in the Palm Beach community. I adopted my first cat from them in 2018, Olivia, and she is my world. The entire adoption process was so smooth. The adoption team made me feel so comfortable with my decision and helped set me up for success in bringing home my first cat. They followed up to make sure everything was okay, and I felt so happy that I made the decision to adopt from them. After many years, I recently found myself back at Peggy Adams to find a best friend for my cat. Their new adoption center is absolutely incredible, and the animals seem so spoiled and comfortable. I fell in love with a fluffy gray kitten and once again the process was a breeze. My kitten is a little spicy, so they offered behavioral help, and I've had both behavior and adoptions reach out to me since adopting! I always recommend Peggy Adams to my friends and family. I have never had a bad experience, I always feel welcomed and heard by all the different teams there, and I am amazed at how wonderful their facility is for the animals and the public. Thank you for bringing me the two best decisions of my life, and leaving such a positive memory of the experience :)
An amazing facility with caring, professional people! I just adopted a cat and the process was very smooth. I love knowing that I saved a life by adopting!
I adopted Brody from the dollys dream dogs program at Peggy adams. I fell in love with him when I saw him. He is a cuddly friendly loving dog. Always wants to be laying on your lap or cuddled up at night. He also loves his new big sister sky!
We found a kitty we loved on their website, emailed after hours for confirmation he was still available and received a response before they even opened the next morning, excellent customer service. When we got to the facility it was clean and quite impressive. Friendly staff, cared for cats. We spent a good amount of time letting our new feline friends decide if he wanted to come home with us in one of their acquaintance rooms, and then our adoption coordinator walked us patiently through all the paperwork and set us up with a wonderful Pets for Heros package they offer veterans like my husband, settled our new fur babe in his carrier and sent us on our way. Very nice experience.
I had to say goodbye to my 13 year old kitty named Dewey…my husband died last October so I was just so sad…Went to Peggy Adams Rescue yesterday to adopt a kitty I saw on the website..it was a wonderful experience..such kind people working there and very helpful…Marty and I are getting to know each other….
I adopted Cheedar from Peggy Adams and the customer service was amazing. A volunteer also helped me and she went above and beyond with helping me. She was very sweet and helpful. Cheedar entered our home which is now his also and it’s like he was always apart of the family. He is going to fit in just perfect with his new family thank you Peggy Adams.
My husband and I were finally ready to adopt another cat after losing our Bella last August. We had went to Animal Care & Control first, but they didn't have any cats to adopt! Such a great problem to have. So our next stop was Peggy Adams. Hazel had been owner surrendered 2-3 hours prior to us arriving there. It was meant to be!
I am so happy to support Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League of Palm Beach County because I adopted an abandoned, 8 year old,
Calico cat from them. I named her LuLu even though she was microchipped with the name of Louise because I thought that LuLu was a more playful name and she has given me the greatest joy for the past 3 years!!!
Thank you, Peggy Adams, for providing so many cats and dogs with loving Forever Homes!!!! I will be forever grateful to you and your caring staff and volunteers!!
We rescued Luna, part of the Grey Whiskers program! She is absolutely perfect! She was Josh’s lunch Buddy and was the greeter at the front desk. I have to tell you that she was a complete mess when she came to them. She had ear infections, fleas, fatty tumors, probably from overbreeding, swollen gums and inflamed bleeding skin all over her. They really took excellent care of this sweet girl!! With Josh’s extra love he gave her, made the transition so much easier. She is so thankful to be loved and cared for. She is a dream!! We are so thankful to Peggy Adams and the wonderful care that they give to their animals!! We are blessed to have sweet Luna Love!! Thank you!!
They helped me adopt Myla, a beautiful tortoise shell kitten. They provided her with a pre-adoption spay, rabies vaccine, microchipping, pet insurance, and all I paid was a small adoption fee. They were competent, caring, attentive and professional throughout the whole process. The animals all looked exceptionally well cared for and everyone I met seemed like this was their passion as well as their job. Great place.
We had been to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue twice before looking for a pet dog. We have major constraints since our building only allows dogs with a maximum of 15 lbs. So we had not been successful before.
Well, the third time was the charm!! Thanks to Sky Fritz, a patient, thoughtful, and amazing person who works in the Adoption Department, we found our perfect pet.
Sky listened to our situation, our constraints, and our frustration. She searched and searched her data base, and said: "I think I might have found the perfect dog for you. "
She introduced the dog to us, and left us to see if we would bond with the dog, and if the dog would bond with us.
Well, it was the perfect match. Within minutes, the dog was sitting on our laps, in our arms, and giving us kisses.
Sky, thank you so, so much for the newest member of our family, Koa, previously known as Moose.
I have five grandchildren I am raising one who suffers from depression the other high functioning autism. I was told animals help with both so we all decided to get a cat. However, when we read the story of Pepper and Habi we wanted to see them and well they are not at their forever home. They are getting use to their surroundings.
We just brought home a rescue dog from Peggy Adams. He's 55 lbs. - they received him young and he had not been socialized. He was a difficult case - the behaviorist worked with him and he was placed in a foster home and they did wonders with him. He is people shy and we are willing to be patient - we've had dogs with issues before. Adam and Alexa, and the foster mom, Sharon, spent a lot of time with us in meeting our new furry buddy, Shadow, and gave us lots of instructions on how to handle a dog with issues. Our experience at Peggy Adams was exemplary - they took their time to learn about us as a family and gave us a lot of information about our new dog. It is evident they love the animals and do their best by them. They work very hard to find a good fit between a pet and a family. Thank you Peggy Adams for the wonderful work you do!!!! C Thomas
I absolutely love this rescue. I adopted my sweet pittie mix, General Chow, here as a 12 week old puppy and I am happy to report he is now a healthy young adult. He brings me so much joy, and gets along very well with his little brother, Wonton, and our cat, Wiggy. The staff at Peggy Adams made the adoptions process a breeze. We also love how we can get all our babies' shots done and get our county rabies tags all in one anual visit to their clinic.
I adopted Cudi as a little puppy and now he is 9 months old and 60 pounds of pure love and joy. my experience at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League was amazing. The staff there was great and helpful and informative. They went over all his medical which he did have some as he was found as a stray and did have some skin conditions in which they treated and sent me home with medication to continue after I adopted. He is now 100% healthy and loves the water and is one big goofball. From a tiny little pup to what he is today he is not just a pet but a member of the family and I owe that to the people at Peggy Adams for matching me up with him.
Over the many years, I have adopted several dogs from Peggy Adams. Shelby is the latest! She is a 9 year old poodle and is adjusting quite nicely to her new home! Peggy Adams is an excellent shelter and the staff is so helpful and attentive to both animals & humans! During the meet & greet time with the counselor & animal, they give you as much information as they have on that animal, and in some cases you can talk with the vet. I look forward to the new shelter opening this Spring! I only rescue, so I am definitely a repeat customer of Peggy Adams!!

My first introduction with Peggy Adams was end of life services for a very senior dog. I was so impressed with how compassionate everyone I dealt with was. They really all understood how difficult the process was for me. Shortly after that, I decided I wanted to be involved with an organization like this given my love for animals. So I became a volunteer. Volunteering is so gratifying, being able to be part of this great organization and helping the animals. I have also adopted several pets over the years. So I was a “client served” turned “volunteer”! So proud to be a small part of the organization.
I foster kittens for Peggy Adams and am proud to be associated with this non-profit. I am often called on to bottle feed neonates with medical challenges from contagious skin conditions to eye abnormalities to upper respiratory and other infections. I am glad Peggy Adams gives these orphans an opportunity to survive, and puts their world class veterinary team to work helping them. Peggy Adams goes above and beyond in animal rescue.

I adopted a ten-month old cat with a known disability from Peggy Adams. The staff were great throughout the adoption process. I left with her complete medical record, a to do list, and a free 30-day trial of health insurance.
For the record, I also volunteer at Peggy Adams. I have deep respect for the staff and volunteers who do a terrific job helping homeless cats and dogs.
I used Medical services for my puppy's neuter surgery. They did an amazing job.
He was back to himself the next day. I also get his shots and had him Microchipped.
Thank you Peggy Adams.

I always go to Peggy Adams to purchase pet supplies and toys. They have the best prices and the money spent goes back to the facility to help save more animals lives.
The volunteers and staff are always super friendly too. I hope to adopt soon
I adopted 2 of my furbabies from Peggy Adams, both who have feline leukemia and I just recently had to send one across the Rainbow Bridge due to her little body not being able to fight anymore. When it is time, we'll adopt another special baby. Their staff was so gentle and caring in helping my baby transition to the other side. I highly recommend Peggy Adams.
We already have to older cats, add that to 3 kids, I had absolutely no intentions of adopting more. My daughter & I visit peggy adams for entertainment, we like that we can interact with the cats (I hope they never stop that). They were closed for cleaning & long story short my daughter fell in love with a black & white kitten named Flax, but i secretly hoped she liked his brother Hemp but she would not budge. I had no $, i did the forms, drove home & back & as it turned out it was BOGO, so I got Hemp as well ..It was meant to be because it did not have the extra $20 for the rabies shot so even with the BOGO i couldn't get him but it turned out he was underweight & had not had his rabies shot yet so no $20 fee..Flax & Hemp, then Oreo & Thunder, now Joker & Dutch are amazing, they are indoors & outdoors living their best lives..catching anything that moves & climbing anything vertical. The staff was fantastic, i love the "Godfather" at the front door...he is awesome
We have adopted 2 cats from Peggy a Adams and we were very pleased with the process! Everyone was helpful, both before and after the adoption?
OMGosh I absolutely adored working with Peggy Adams to adopt my new fur baby Callum.
I saw Callum (aka Morgan) on their website and knew immediately that I wanted to meet him. I called my fiancé and said I was heading over directly after work, and he agreed to meet me. Unfortunately Callum has a behavior issue that made it so that we were unable to meet him without a member of the behavioral team, but we took photos of him and sat outside his pen until closing time, promising to come back Saturday when operating hours matched our schedule....which was 3 days away.
Next day.....I couldn't focus at work...I already knew I wanted his name to be Callum because Morgan didn't fit him. I texted my children and said get ready, I'm leaving work early and I'm coming to get you so we can go get our boy!
Carter, the behavior trainer was immensely helpful and instrumental for us to understand Callum's quirk. You see.....Callum like to eat shoes......while they're still being worn LOL Funny but not funny when a 60pd bulldog/pitbull mix is trying to eat your feet LOL. Had I experienced this quirk without Carter having explaining it in detail, I believe I would have been afraid of him, but he only does this when he's super excited and happy!! And who can't work with a happy dog???
We've had Callum for almost a week now and he's already a staple in our home. He loves shopping for toys, he's a perfect gentlemen when meeting new friends on our walks, he likes sunning himself, and he snores louder than any grandpa I've ever heard on an internet video :) He's a perfect addition to our home and Peggy Adams and it's staff were warm, helpful, and truly exited to us to welcome our new addition.
Thank you Peggy Adams.
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is an amazing organization. All I have ate good things to say. From the people they employee to the services they provide to animals and our communities - this organization is making a difference!
Peggy Adams will always be near and dear to my heart. They keep getting better each year as an organization and do everything they can to improve the quality of care for their animals and clients.
Let me begin by stating that my hubby & I are Foster Failures! We thought that fostering tiny kittens would be fun, especially since we would get to enjoy them as babies, then be able to see them adopted and replaced with new babies. We knew, by day two, that we could not be separated from these adorable kitties. After a month, they each weighed 2 lbs and could be spayed and neutered. We missed them terribly, the night they spent recuperating at Peggy Adams. We picked them up and signed the adoption papers!
We want to thank Peggy Adams for doing such awesome work. Three years ago, we adopted our Rat terrier (see the little devil's photo) from Peggy Adams. Since our (2-legged) son's have not given us grandchildren, we are so grateful to Peggy Adams for providing us with these adorable babies; our experiences have been awesome! The animals are treated royally...For the most part, it's a story of rags to riches, for both the recused animals and the people who adopt them...Peggy Adams Rescue League, puts every donated penny to good use, however, the loving care given to the animals, is priceless!
We were informed extremely well about Depp and all that came with him. They were so educated about all the dogs and in particular how to deal with some of the obstacles that our dog would have to overcome. Overall, the best place to adopt any animal. Can’t thank you guys enough for giving us our lifelong buddy.
I adopted my 4 month old maltipoo puppy that I named Piper from Peggy Adams. She is the sunshine of my day. She is the most loving, friendly dog I have ever rescued. I am thankful for Peggy Adams for introducing to me my best fur-friend.
I've been at the shelter many times and have always been impressed with the cleanliness of the kennels and the professionalism of the staff.
We wanted to adopt a small dog and knew they often get adopted quickly. On Friday we walked through the dog room looking for our dog. Ralph decided Lilly looked like she’d fit our needs and we’d fit hers. Like us she’s a senior, has a few medical issues, is friendly and quietly reserved. On Saturday we got the call from the vet and we’re told we could pick her up on Sunday. We anxiously waited till we could pick her up and take her home.
She seemed right at home and has fit in well. She has no bad behaviors, just lots of tail wagging love. We’ve both fallen for her cuteness and personality. We can’t thank you enough!
My boyfriend & I adopted our dog Bailey a little over a month ago. We had a great experience with Peggy Adams. The staff was knowledgeable and professional, and the adoptions team worked to make sure the dog we took home would be a good fit for us.
This was my first time adopting a dog from a rescue and it won’t be my last. Peggy Adams made this the best experience. Being a vegetarian and animal activist, I noticed right away that they truly love and respect animals the way that I do.
Peanut Vincent Van Gogh aka Skippy is a God sent fur angel that came into our lives at a time of despair after losing two fur babies in a ten month time period.
He brings so much joy into our lives. Thank You !! Peggy Adams for being there for him at a time of need in his life and bringing him into our life.
We adopted Teddy AKA Tommy on March 14th 2019.
David D. was our adoption representative. David was very efficient and accommodating, we could not have asked for a better experience. We adopted a precious little 11 lb. cookie monster and he is a very good boy. We highly recommend Peggy Adams Rescue Center, be sure to apply with them when you are ready to adopt.

Wonderful experience finding my feline fur baby. Staff was very helpful in guiding me through the process of finding the perfect kitty for me. They were also sure to make sure my home would be good for the cat I adopted. The staff truly loves the animals. The place is immaculate and the animals seem very well attended to. If I lived closer, I’d look to be a volunteer there.
I have worked for 5 years as a volunteer for Peggy Adams. I’m Canadian and spend my winters in South Florida, so I only volunteer 6 months each year. I have fostered kittens, worked in their temporary retails stores, delivered cats and kittens to stores that they partner with to get more animals adopted out and I’m a client service assistant at the main campus. Why? Because they have the most dedicated staff who are “All about the animals”. Oh, and because I get to deal with animal lovers (staff and clients) who, by definition are nicer people.
Back in 1985 I had rescued a feral cat taking to Peggy Adams to have her spayed and get her shots. I have seen how Peggy Adams has gone from it’s small dome to top tier services and facilities for all animals in need. I also have benefited from their TNVR program in 2016 having 4 feral cats that were trapped and released feeding and caring for them.
I adopted a beautiful cat yesterday and it was such an easy process! Great place and very clean! Very friendly enviornment. Thanks so much! JL
I have been so impressed with how well run and organized Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is. The astonishing numbers of animals saved and the quantity of programs offered for potential adopters/adopters and even the community is impressive and wide reaching. It is easy to see the positive impact this organization has had within the community and sets the standard for animal rescue shelters nation wide.
Our adoption experience was second to none, beginning to end! We were welcomed and made to feel comfortable interacting with cats and kittens. The cat habitat is absolutely beautiful and all the enclosures were clean. You could tell they were all taken care of with love! My son knew Dobby aka "Gene" was his cat as soon as he reached his paw through to touch him! We met Holly and she allowed us to interact with him in a private room, where he immediately curled up on my son's lap and that was it-the bond was formed! Holly was extremely kind, but more importantly, honest. At the present time, Dobby had some past medical issues and he would have to be cleared by the vet, and that could take a few days. We were also informed, that if he had a permanent condition, we would have the option to take on the medical responsibility or deny the adoption. Other than the human/animal connection, this was the most important phase of the adoption: honesty. We wanted to move forward and waited for the results, which came a few days later and we were finally able to take Dobby home! The final process was educational, seamless, and joyful! Holly was truly amazing throughout the process. It made my son so proud that she commented on what a kind and well-behaved child he was. You can tell Holly loves her job caring for and rescuing animals, and finding them loving homes. We are so appreciative of her and Peggy Adams for our new family member and for the work they do saving animals!
I recently used the end of life cremation services at Peggy Adams. The people there are so caring and understanding. My little guy Rio was put to rest at my vet that morning. I went straight to Peggy Adams for cremation. I was led to a quiet, private room. The young gentleman who took care of the paperwork was very gentle and soft spoken. I just picked up the urn with my little guy's remains. There was a nice card and a red rose in the box. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend Peggy Adams for their end of life services.

Mom and I adopted a wonderful little chihuahua named Rio in March of 2017. Mom had just lost her 16 year old chi companion. The staff at Peggy Adams were very understanding and compassionate. Our adoption coordinator showed us a few pictures of the dogs in their care. Each dog has a detailed description of their personality and medical history. We chose the little guy that looked like he needed us the most. He was so small, just 5 pounds and depressed. He just melted into Mom's arms, we knew he was the one. The adoption process went very smoothly. We were happy to purchase supplies from the Boutique as this little gut needed all new stuff of his very own. He just loves squeaky toys! We will continue to use the Peggy Adams vaccine clinic for his vaccines. The staff there really care about the animals.
This is our second adoption of a dog, We also have adopted a kitten from them. We love Peggy Adams so much, their compassion for saving lives and ability to match you with the perfect furbaby is very much appreciated.

We adopt Shemi our beautiful Catahula, in January 2013. She is a wonderful addition to our family, very loving, playful and patient with our 5 yr old son. Shemi spent about 6 months at Peggy Adams, as they nursed her back to health. Peggy Adams is a wonderful facility, very clean, the adoptees are all well taken care of, clean, loved on, walked. I would highly recommend Peggy Adams when deciding to adopt a pet.
I adopted the sweetest dog from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. The process was reflective of a well organized institution, thorough but not overwhelming. I was greeted immediately at the door and walked through the entire process by either a staff member or volunteer. Choosing a new family member is both exciting and nerve wracking, but with the help of Peggy Adams I found the perfect little girl for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to adopt a new friend.
Peggy adams was truly amazing!!! I have a 4yr old so getting w new pet was a little scary!!! Holly answered all of my questions and helped us find our sweet quinn, her and my daughter love each other so much already!!! I highly recommend usuing oeggy adams when adding any new family memeber to your home
We adopted Peanut last week and things are going swimmingly. The staff worked with us to help us find just what we wanted & we couldn't be happier.
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is the home of a caring, passionate, and outstanding group of hardworking people that put every ounce of their heart into loving and nurturing animals! They really do put animals first! Great job! Great shelter!
Last week Stuffin joined our family and we couldn't be more ecstatic! Our visit to Peggy Adams cat room amazed us. It was so nice to see cats able to roam about freely, nap in creative spots, play with humans and felines alike or rest quietly in their comfort zones. After visiting with so many cuties, we chose Stuffin because of his disposition and description - which stated he was familiar with dogs. Having 3 dogs ourselves, we felt Stuffin was the purrfect match and it couldn't be more true! Stuffin has made an easy transition and we just can't get enough of him! He is so loving, playful and doesn't mind his new brother and sisters. Thank you Peggy Adams and its volunteers for caring so much about animals.
We adopted two sister kittens for my daughters from Peggy Adams Rescue in 1994. The girls had stepped in very willingly to become extra moms to the baby I delivered two months after surviving a massive stroke. The girls put their newly acquired mothering skills into practice, raising the kittens through their demise, one in December at the age of 19 and the other in January at the age of 20. My son chose a puppy he named Cookie the following year. That dog lived to the ripe old age of 17.
In 2010, he decided to adopt another dog. Athena was the six month old who was destined to be ours. Having been previously adopted then returned due to her high activity level, she was perfect for us. Two years later, we adopted a kitten from a family and then two years after that, a third puppy joined our home.
Recently I have felt depressed thinking that I could be doing more now that I was retired. My husband and I discussed the possibility of adopting one last animal, perhaps a kitten, to complete our family. I completed the adoption application and found out the four month old kitten that we had decided upon was promised to another couple. Knowing that I was still supposed to adopt another kitten, I found Loren at Peggy Adams! My counselor, Holly, was very helpful and after going over my application, asked who I was interested in seeing. Loren turned out to be the kitten for me. We have since changed her name to Dasher, a Christmas name and part of her personality. Seeing her establish herself among the three other pets we have has made this wee kitten seem more like a giant!
Thank you, Peggy Adams Rescue, for the wonderful and rewarding work you do.

Peggy Adams has found us three beautiful cats to be part of our home. The rescue is spotless, the staff and volunteers are terrific and the kittens and cats are well taken care of all the time. We would recommend this rescue to anyone looking for a kitty to love like ours.
Our dog, Benji, a wonderful Shepherd Mix, died suddenly in his sleep two months before his twelfth birthday. So with a heavy heart, we decided to find a rescue who we could love and care for. We decided to try Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and after a brief wait, we met with an adoption counselor who introduced us to a Bassett Hound mix, Lola, and we brought her home. She seemed very frightened at first. It's now been 3-weeks and, after an uneasy adjustment, Lola appears to be settling in and is realizing that she can trust us. We are grateful for the support of the staff and it's great knowing I can call for advice on behavior if we need it.
Went into pet store for random supplies...came out with an adorable cuddly kitten. Already spayed and healthy and very well adjusted considering her back story. Took her to the vet and she got her rabies shot with no issue and she tested negative for those awful feline diseases. All in all a great experience and
I know my $150 donation will go to great use.
The people at PeggyAdams rescue were terrific. I don’t know how they do it. I’d want to take all the animals home with me. The place was very clean and the animals were well cared for. They conduct a good check of potential adoptive parents and provided the health records for each animal. We took home an amazing little cat that has fit in great in our home and become BFF’s with our existing cat. Thank you so much for what you do.
My sister recently had to euthanize her beloved Molly, and this organization could not have been more understanding and respectful. My sister and Molly were not in a cold, sterilized examination room, but a room much like a cozy living room. Everything was done at my sister’s pace, with no rush, and everyone she came into contact with treated them both with dignity—right through to Molly’s end. As any pet lover knows, when that time comes, it is so difficult.
She was able to adopt a “senior for seniors” afterward in honor of Molly. All those in the adoption department were respectful of her loss and gentle when helping her make a decision. The people I spoke with on the phone in both departments were so helpful. Peggy Adams is a “class act”, and as an animal lover, I appreciate their efforts.
After the loss of our 12yr old, rescued RatChi in early May, we realized how much we missed having a dog in our home. Our two senior cats, brought up with our dogs, appeared to be as sad as we were following this loss. We went to Peggy Adams rescue to look for that " just right" addition to our family.
We were very impressed with the knowledge, compassion and professionalism of our Adoption Counselor, Julie. After much discussion of our family and the personality of a dog that would fit into our home and enjoy living with two cats, we were introduced to two sweet, small mix breed dogs. Both were described as "Wallflowers", very quiet and easily frightened. Our Winni was the second of the "meet and greet" pups. Her quick lick on my face before leaving the office sealed the deal. We have been happy everyday since. She is no longer a Wallflower and is much more a Busybee and a bit of a Goof. She keeps us laughing and she is adjusting so quickly to life with my husband and I and the cats.
We have had dogs and cats throughout our many years of marriage and all have been rescues. We consider our choice to adopt from Peggy Adams the wisest decision and the easiest, most effective process we have ever experienced. The staff and volunteers at Peggy Adams are clearing animal lovers and devoted to getting their charges to not just a home but to the best furever home.
Winni popped a suture on her spay incision and I called the clinic and got up there early to have her checked out. The Vets and staff were wonderful. With antibiotics and some activity restriction, Winni was completely healed in a few days. We have since had her checked by our Vet and he was quite impressed with her and found her healthy and charming.
Just to add that their Shop is fantastic; they have a lovely assortment of items at great prices. We have returned to say hello to Julie and to purchase Winni's heartworm medication and food supplies. Although we thought Winni might not find a visit back there easy, she recognized several staff/volunteers and appeared as happy to see them and they appeared to see her. Thank you to all at Peggy Adams for helping us find Winni.
Wow! So impressed by the adoption process at Peggy Adams! Their website is great, and we found Zeus there before we met him in person---- but once we got there, we met so many amazing dogs that when we finally met our adoption specialist, Holly, we had quite a list! She helped us narrow down our search to a dog that was suitable to our family and our home.....and it was meant to be! Zeus has a forever home, and has been a blessing to us! Thank you Peggy Adams!!!
Everyone at Peggy Adam was professional on very nice. There knowlegde of all the pets was amazing. These people love there jobs and it show. Adopting a dog was exciting and educating all in one. What a great experience.
Yesterday we adopted our second dog from Peggy Adams. We adopted a dog about 9 years ago from Peggy Adams and he was wonderful. He passed away last year. Yesterday I went back and adopted a female who seems to be just what I needed. What I liked most is the thorough history they go over with you so I knew a lot about Bella before I decided to adopt her and give her a forever home. Since I wanted to adopt an adult dog I think the history is very important. I was able to have a “meet and greet” with our present male dog. Everything went easily and I loved working with Margi because she was thorough and didn’t rush me through. Thank you to you all!!
Very willing and helpful staff! I adopted my best friend Tiger from this organization. Even tho my puppy was adopted and returned 3 times, the amazing team never gave up on him until he found his forever home. They neautered him, treated him for heartworm, sicknesses, and an ear infection and kept him utd on all his vaccines. I fell in love with his sweet personality and am so thankfully Peggy Adams gives innocent animals like Tiger the chances they deserve. I donated every dollar I could to their organization for him. If you’re looking for a best friend, Peggy Adams is the place to go. A big thank you to all the counselors and behavior specialists that helped me find the dog of my dreams!
After losing 2 family pets in 3 years we decided to close our hearts back in 2010. On Dec 31,2017 we adopted Cici or shall I say she rescued us! She has been a Joy, and has been the most affectionate gentle animal we could have ever asked for! We believe she was meant for us and are so blessed to have been chosen by her to be her furrever parents
Staff was great, accomodating. Saw a cat we wanted to bring home! While waiting, he was already adopted out. I "James" was spending some time in a different room ran into KeKe, brought Michelle to see her! Turned out for the better, we have no girls! KeKe came home and settled in pretty fast with the others! She a great addition, with her joyfull/pushy personality! One 14 year old male pitbull (Damien), two male black cats. Bobtail-(Tike) Shy-(Pepper), and now crazy/fun-(KeKe)... Tyke came from Peggy Adam as well, and was our Daughters cat, who had recently passed away. So we took Tyke in, and now we have 3 cats and one Dog... These animals/New family members, have really helped us get through some bad times, giving us unconditional love and helping us laugh a lot! They all get along really well!!! Thank you guys at Peggy Adam, You guys are the best!
This is our new baby Brady who we adopted from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. Brady was at our local Pet Supermarket and melted my heart. The adoption process was smooth and the wonderful staff at Peggy Adams followed up with us post adoption to check in on Brady’s transition to his forever home. Thank you Peggy Adams Animal Rescue!
The adoption was a breeze and the fact that she's microchipped really puts my mind at ease, knowing that if she got out, she can easily be returned to us. Peggy Adams, we loved doing business with you and we're SO happy to see pet stores carrying your animals. We couldn't be more happy! Beans is our newest member and we love her and so do our dogs! She plays with them and takes no nonsense from them. LOL She's the best!
It was an ordinary afternoon. Ordinary, at least for a little while. Somehow, through the great art of conversation, my husband and I decided to go see some cats who were up for adoption. This brought us to Peggy Adams. We parked the car. Then we got out. The air smelled nice. There's a certain aroma that a place that does a great thing has. We walked in. It was big. Lot's of people worked there. Someone greeted us. She led us to the cats. Really, going there, I did not know what to expect. I was very surprised. All the cats were in rooms. These had glass doors. I thought it was clean and pleasant. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They answered questions on behavior, health, and adjustment issues. My cat, Athena, has become family. Furthermore, let me say this: I have a good friend who helps stray cats. Peggy Adams has spayed or neutered a number of his pets, under a grant program. Peggy Adams is clean. It is just a great place. Peggy Adams is doing a wonderful thing.
Thank you Dan for our new addition to our family. My son received her on Christmas and immediately named her Cookie because she looks like an Oreo. She is very lovable and playful. She is a perfect match for me and my family. You were so helpful and patient. Thank you again for this precious gift!!
We adopted Jinx from Peggy Adams and we couldn't be happier. He is a sweet and loving kitten and is having a ball getting to know his new brother, our cat, Muffin, and sister, our dog, Cali. Peggy Adams made the adoption process simple and choosing a cat was fun, as they had several rooms with cats and kittens to sit with until we decided on Jinx. We look forward to many years of fun with our little circus!
We fostered and adopted from Peggy Adams. The foster & adoption program at Peggy Adams are both top notch.
What an AMAZING experience!!!! Everyone at Peggy Adams went ABOVE and beyond to help me get the perfect puppy! I can’t thank them enough!
I adopted my dog from here. He is the best dog. Perfectly healthy, extremely well behaved and the staff at Peggy could not have been more helpful throughout the adoption process.
Maddi is just the sweetest dog! Her personality has blossomed since the day I saw her at your shelter. While she may not look happy in her rain coat she enjoys her walks. Even in her Halloween costume she still managed to look adorable :)
I adopted 2 cats from them about six years ago. They have never had any health problems and I love them to death! Peggy Adams never euthanizes and adopting from there helps there mission!
Adopted our dog Lily from Peggy Adams great organization and caring staff they definitely take time to match the animal to the right family our family is extremely thankful.
My two cats came from Peggy Adams. I adopted them as kittens and they were very well socialized. The foster program does a wonderful job getting these little ones off to a great start! The adoption process was easy and positive as well. Thank you Peggy Adams for bringing these two joys into my life!
Our family's recent adoption of June the kitten from Peggy Adams was an incredible experience. We were so impressed by the facilities and the care the staff was providing to these animals in need. The adoption process was very easy but also thorough, demonstrating that the staff is committed to placing animals with good homes. June's medical treatment at Peggy Adams was fabulous, and it was clear this kitten who had spent her first 6 months at the shelter had been loved and petted and cuddled as she is a playful social member of our family! Thank you, Peggy Adams staff. You are doing such important work and doing it with heart and passion!
I am a on limited income, I found a piece of my heart At Peggy Adams Rescue. A name your own price adoption makes it easy to find your new love. They have many options available. My heart was Adopted Thursday 12/7/2017 I am not from the Palm Beach area, I live about 4 hours north in Putnam county. Ozzy was well worth the trip and he has settled in quickly and loves running laps in the yard. He has plenty of tail wags and kisses to show me how happy he is.
Almost 4 years ago I adopted Chrissy, she was nine years old at the time. She is my best buddy. Still loves to play and car rides. She is such a happy little girl. Thank you Peggy Adams for saving this senior sweetie. Peggy Adams' facility is spotless, I also donate to Peggy's Pantry which provides food for pet owners who due to their economic situation may be able to afford pet food for their pets, this helps them from having to surrender their beloved pets. All staff I have dealt with is very compassionate in their goal to find these loving animals homes. Thank you for all you do.

Was looking for a senior dog rescue and saw Chrissy online, a 9 year old Shih Tzu/poodle mix blind in one eye. All the staff from the response I received to my e-mail to everyone at Peggy Adams was very patient, helpful, professional and truly involved in the animals best interest. They took us to a small room then brought Chrissy to meet us. She is a 12 pound bundle of love that has made our life so much better! The facility is spotless, truly a wonderful place to adopt a pet. Many thanks to everyone who helped us.
To Kristin, Colleen and Gabriel in Receiving. The three of you made a very difficult situation bearable. Your kindness, understanding and compassion was so appreciated. I was at a loss and you went above and beyond. When my brother passed away leaving four very loved kitties you said you would help, and you did. As hard as it was to leave Runt, Mr. Mitts, Guenivere and Turtle you were so kind and helped me to realize I was leaving them in good and caring hands. I can't say enough about these good people. Thank you, you are amazing.
I was referred to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue when my pet died a couple of weeks ago.
The entire staff was so accommodating and sincere. I was truly moved when I received a condolence card in the mail, nice touch.
so when it came to adopting a new pet, it was without any doubt as to where I was going, Peggy Adams.
The entire staff could not have been more accommodating, friendly and caring that I made the right choice, and I did.
Thank you all for assisting me in making my home complete again.
All the best.

We had lost our baby girl 21/2 years ago. Though I would never get another, and if we did it would be a rescue. Went to Peggy adams and found who they named fawn and we call Mimi. She was so scared, vicious, and needed hygiene. But the shelter was amazing, they took time with her, made her feel at ease. She's a beautiful girl and all she needed was love. This is her know just after 4 days. I love this shelter for their love and dedication to all animals. If your looking for a pet please visit Peggy first.
Peggy Adams is absolutely the most compassionate non-profit limited admission shelter I have ever visited. It accepts from Palm Beach Animal Care and Control not only readily adoptable dogs but also sick, injured, senior and hard to place cases. In addition, Peggy Adams housed Humane Society International's Puerto Rican dogs throughout their quarantine period. Thank you, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League!
She saved my life.
At the beginning of December my kitty "Fanci" and I lost our beloved son and brother. Papito, my 14 year old shepherd mix. We both went into depression and she and I would cry every day. 2 weeks after our loss, I went to the Peggy Adams Rescue League. I met Sky and she found us the most wonderful pup, Rosie "Elsa". I was not looking for a young pup but could not risk the health, happiness, and safety of my kitty. She was our blessing.
I am happy to say that we are truly blessed and will come back to visit whenever possible.
I adopted four month old Teddy my orange tabby. He made friends with my four dogs the night he came home. He is a pretty incredible kitten. I have always known Peggy Adams is special since I took my kids there to have their pet rat , iguana, and parakeet blessed , I think it was on all Saints Day 25 years ago. I knew when I was ready to adopt a cat again, I would come here. He is just so special. Georgina
A huge thank you to Jan at Peggy Adams! We had been trying to adopt a miniature schnauzer mix for some time and she helped us find the sweetest puppy! We do not live near the shelter so Jan and the staff went the extra mile to accommodate our needs in picking up our puppy. We were so pleased how well our dog was cared for while in the care of Peggy Adams, and they were incredibly helpful in getting us the information needed of how to care for her (we're first time dog owners). This is a fantastic place to adopt a pet!
My husband and I were in on Saturday and adopted a beautiful little blonde named Jada. As soon as we saw her sweet face, we fell in love. She is obviously still adjusting to our schedule, but she is making herself right at home. We are going to work on bringing her out of her shell and her separation anxiety issues. We are confident that through love and patience that she will eventually see that our home is her home forever. Here are a few snapshots of her in her new home.
Thank you so much for allowing us to become her puppy parents. She is a welcomed addition to our little family. Your staff was so wonderful in helping us to understand our little girl's past and needs for the future. I am so thankful that you have full time behaviorists in the event that we need additional help in acclimating Jada's fur-brother to the pack life.
I was mourning the loss of my Cavalier recently and fell into a depression.. ..One day while getting supplies for the pool my daughter said "We're going to the shelter" The shelter did not have any dogs we were interested in so she took me to Peggy Adams.......As we were leaving we passed a volunteer walking 3 beautiful Chihuahuas and I asked them if they had been adopted....Only 2 were leaving the one we liked best....we asked for her name and without saying anything we literally bolted for the front door and asked for forms to fill out......We met with Emily who brought in the Chihuahua who was shy and fearful.. Gabby is 1,5 years old and had a medical issue they were taking care of....So we took her home 2 days later.....Not only the care they give these animals but the connections they have build with Home Again a chip company unlike any I have dealt with before...Then the Pet insurance. They have physicians on site.....they offer free spaying and neutering of any animal that is owned in Palm Beach County. They have built a system that is 100% dedicated to the preservation of animals and keeping them healthy. My father was a dog breeder and I never thought about adopting. I am so glad I did. Gabby bonded with us immediately and after walking her twice knew exactly what her house was. She knows her name and is meeting other dogs as we walk.
Not only was Gabby lucky to find us, we feel so lucky to have found her and grateful to Peggy Adams for what that facility does for animals and for making this possible. Its staff is absolutely wonderful. Many thanks to Emily!!

I have been looking at the Peggy Adams site for many weeks to find a cat for my sister that lives on the west coast of FL. A few days before Christmas I saw kitten that reminded me of a Himalayan I had many years ago. He has one over the hearts of many in a new household, even a grandmother that was never a "cat person". His personality is very loving and as you can see he is adorable. The process at Peggy Adams when adopting him was fast and painless. I will definitely go back if I am every looking for another pet!
I started as a foster at Peggy Adams; 6 kittens! They provide a playpen, food and litter...all you provide is love and care! We ended up adopting one of those kittens. Jay helped us with the adoption and everything went smoothly. Then we went back for a playmate for her when our older cat passed. Jay again to the rescue!!! The entire team at Peggy Adams. If you aren't looking for a full commitment, but want to have animals in your life; contact Shannon about fostering. If you want to have a friend for life...jay is the man! Thanks to everyone I didn't mention in here...because from the volunteer greeters to the veterinarians this shelter is top notch.
We were foster parents for a cat and her four kittens. It was a wonderful experience. The training and support we received from the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League was first rate. They provided excellent followup and guidance to make sure the animals were doing well and in hands.
We adopted our beautiful black ketten from the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. The people there are very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The shelter is very clean and the animals are well taken care of. The adoption process is thorough but not burdensome. The shelter provides a host of services in case there are issues after you bring the pet home. I don't think you can find a better place to adopt a pet.
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is fantastic! The staff truly cares about the animals. I recommend the League to anyone who is looking to adopt a furry friend.
There's something magical about the animals that come out of Peggy Adams. My wife and I adopted 2 kittens about a year and a half ago from Peggy Adams and they are unlike any other cats I've ever owned or known in the past! For starters, they are cuddle bugs! The foster team at Peggy Adams must have given my two kittens an abundance of love because Minnie and Nala have grown up to be extremely sociable, loving, and cuddly creatures!
Thank you, Peggy Adams for providing an amazing service in our community!

I have been involved with Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League since 2008. All the while we had pure bred dogs. We never adopted a dog from the League or any other shelter. That all changed this past fall. I am now the proud owner of a great rescue dog. He might be the smartest dog we have ever owned. But that is not the point of this "review." After going through that adoption process, I got to see how great the League and its staff are "in action." Thoroughly professional. Very helpful, thoughtful and kind. This dog was about a year and a half old and this poodle mix had never been groomed, never had shots, was not neutered and was not "chipped." Except for the grooming (he had to be shaved) the League took care of it all very quickly. Within about 3 to 4 days we took our dog home.
If you are in the West Palm Beach area, you need to visit Peggy Adams and see what is going on there.
Peggy Adams is an outstanding organization serving Palm Beach County. Not only are they committed to elevating our entire county to Zero Euthnasia of adoptable treatable dogs and cats, but also tackling a gigantic community cat overpopulation issue, providing low cost services to our community through numerous coveted grants from the most honorable organizations!
I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with their incredible staff, volunteers and board members. The organization is a dream team of dedicated people committed to saving countless furry lives in our community! Thank you ARL for all you do!

I have been volunteering at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League for close to 15 years, if not longer. I have watched this organization grow to become one of the most respected and popular shelters around. When volunteering I have had people stop me in the adoption areas stating that they have never been to such a clean shelter. They also comment to me how healthy our animals look. I can say with certainty that everyone that now works at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League are there because of their love for the animals. Our dogs get quality time from the staff and volunteers when taken out for their daily walks and play time. We also have play groups for the dogs. We have free roaming cats, large glass runs for our cats and large condos. This is truly a wonderful and caring organization.

LOVE Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. We've adopted from there and their team is so amazing. They make sure you are ready and prepared as well as follow-up several times as soon as your new family member is settled in! GREAT ORGANIZATION!

My son wanted a dog for his 16th Birthday. We went on-line and found two dogs we thought would be perfect for us. I called the next day and arranged for our family to meet the dogs. When we arrived, we were greeted, welcomed and taken back to see the dogs. One little puppy who wasn't even in the system yet (he had just arrived that day) came to the door of his crate and said hello to us with his tail a'waggin! It was like he picked us - he wasn't one of the dogs we saw....but he wanted my son to be HIS BOY and my daughter to be HIS GIRL! We played with him in a private room and fell in love! We've had Chewbacca (Chewey for short) for almost nine months! He quickly stole our hearts and now rules our home. It's ridiculous how 4 people and 2 cats can be put in their place by a mutt, but it's true. I was so impressed with the team at Peggy Adams and even more impressed with their follow through after the adoption! Thanksgiving was a few days ago and as we went around the table, my heart was singing when my macho husband's eyes glowed as he said he was most thankful this year for Chewy and the absolute joy he has brought our family. THANK YOU SO MUCH PEGGY ADAMS TEAM!!!
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue is the nicest animal rescue facility I've ever seen - very clean, staffed by friendly, compassionate people, and the animals are well cared for and get lots of attention. The staff and volunteers really love all of the animals that are in their care.
Based on the positive reputation that this animal rescue league has in the community, I choose to adopt a senior Maltese dog from this shelter. The staff were very professional and helpful throughout the adoption process.
Its extremely reassuring to know that the animals are loved here. I greatly appreciate the dedication and services that Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League provides to the animals and community.
Having been involved with Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League for nearly 20 years, I am in the fortunate position of having watched this organization bloom into a major force for animal welfare both locally and nationwide. In that time I have received and seen others receive an unbelievable level of support and services. My roles have been as a trapper of community cats, an adopter and a foster volunteer. The staff are genuine, the leadership has its priorities in order and they are excellent stewards of the time, talent and funds donated to them. It is an absolute privilege to to have this resource in the community.

I have been involved with Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League for many years both as an adopter and as a foster volunteer. This organization has proven itself to be well run, a strong and inclusive leader in the community and has forward looking vision with programs that are making a real impact on animal population and welfare.
My husband and I had a fantastic experience when we adopted our poodle mix rescue late last year. Everyone we dealt with was so wonderful. The staff, from the reception area, the veterinarians, and all the way through the adoption process, was very professional and above all else, interested in the well-being of the animals and a good fit in their new forever home. The CEO, Rich Anderson, has a real passion for helping and supporting the less fortunate animals in our community. I don't think you would find a better organization then Peggy Adams to support. The new member of our home, Finn, fit in right away. We can't imagine not having him with us .
On August 17, 2016 my wife and I adopted Shego. At the time our German Shepard, Max, had been without a companion for three months. After his companion passed away, Max was sad and depressed. When we brought Shego home, her and Max had an initial "check each other" moment. After that was over, they started chasing each other all over the yard. Max and Shego are now "best buddies." Max is no longer sad and depressed. He loves his new "little sister."
Living in South Florida we know there are many options for our neglected animals. But the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League has been leading the way for a very long time and should be seen as a blueprint for other shelters to follow. The CEO Rich Anderson has a passion for what he does and it is evident with every associate, board member and volunteer involved with this amazing organization. They simply are the best!
This group deserves more than 5 stars!!

My family had a wonderful experience with Peggy Adams Rescue League of Palm Beach. About 3 months ago we were looking to adopt a dog. We found the perfect dog that was a great fit for our family.Bentley is a Jack-Russell/chihuahua mix. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone looking to adopt a dog. We love our dog and are thankful we are able to give him a loving forever home.
Such a caring and wonderful facility. We have been donors for years. They have eased our pain, taken care of our fur babies and the day before Christmas Eve, we found a new little boy there to bring home! The staff is great and we are proud to be supporters! Below is our Christmas boy....Chuckie, the night we brought him home and after his Christmas Eve grooming. (our groomer rocks - getting him in on Christmas Eve) Tuesday he's having eye surgery. We're going to do our best to restore this little boy's sight.
I adopted a kitten (Cora) through Peggy Adams in January 2016 and then adopted two more kittens (a sister and brother named Harley and Quinn) in September 2016. Harley and Quinn just love playing with each other and are truly a joy in my home. Cora has learned to also play with them and they run around the house chasing each other every morning. Peggy Adams is truly a fantastic organization to help strays are healthy and find homes. I am grateful to Peggy Adams for the three cats that have found me through their help!
After visiting many times we finally adopted Boots and renamed her Skittles. She is a wonderful addition to our now, two dog home. She was once, what I call , a "junk yard dog", wandering the streets. Now she is adapting quickly to the life of leisure. Eating, playing, loving, learning and sleeping... then repeat. She is so smart and sweet that we cannot imagine our life without her. Bonus, she is a companion to our seven year old dog . Sam.
We had an amazing experience with Peggy Adams' staff. I was first diligent in searching the online site prior to our visit to the facility. There is a "personality match" questionnaire online which best matches you with your potential fur friend. I HIGHLY recommend completing the survey. Pippa matched up with our personality result and she's been a joy ever since we brought her home.
There are no words in any language to describe the beauty of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue people. Having always lived a privileged life, I was devastated to find that I was now flat broke, homeless and living in a park. Circumstances of life, not drugs or alcohol. I was accepted into a homeless program but declined going without my dog, Buddy. God answered every prayer I had and then some. I was given a chance to get back on my feet and Peggy Adams has a program wherein they fostered my dog while I was in the program and allowed fifteen (15) extra days after exiting the program to pick up my dog.
Having been on the street for a little while, his health suffered. As any responsible parent, I was apprehensive about my Buddy being taken from me and placed with other people. Buddy was with Peggy Adams, particularly Sue Jackson as well as her volunteer assistant, Jane, and the whole Peggy Adams staff and was very well taken care of. I have made them his honorary godparents.
I will always be grateful for this agency and its very existence. Rather than call his vet, I will call Sue and Jane with my questions - then his vet to see if he concurs. They returned a very happy, healthy, nearly 11-year-old dog to me. Buddy is a Jack Russell terrier. He is very territorial and playful - especially with tennis balls. Not too sociable with other dogs. He likes his humans all to himself. Somehow Peggy Adams Animal Rescue broke through that. We recently made a visit to let them know we will never forget them and will keep them in our prayers of praise and thanks.
Good Morning,
I just wanted to give thanks to the Peggy Adams Foundationfor all the organization does. Jagr has been a perfect match for our teenage son and our other dog. Still working on the housebreaking and what's acceptable behavior, but he's smart as a whip and has a great personality. DON'T ever doubt that you change lives both animals and humans.
Attached picture (BELOW) is Jagr after his first trip to the dog park. He had so much fun!
Merry Christmas from Jagr.
Thank you Peggy Adams for having the perfect dog for our home. We adopted Peony (now known as Penny) and she is such a perfect fit for us. Right from the start she jumped in the car, enjoyed the ride home, and greeted everyone with Love.... humans and dogs... We got a good as expected report on her being she was a stray and not much was known by Peggy Adams. Thank you for giving us our new addition.
I do feel Pearl’s original name Luna (from the shelter) plays a part in my life, as well. Luna is Spanish and the English translation is moon. With that said, Pearl has brought light to my darkness. She has truly touched my heart and soul. We definitely have an unconditional love for one another.
Pearl is the perfect name as she is a special and unique gem. The Bible history about pearls is that God has grains of sand enter the oyster, which irritate the oyster, and it changes over time into a pearl with great value. It's about God breaking things off of us and changing us from the inside out into people (and/or animal) of great Kingdom value. God used Pearl to help change me and break the sadness off my life and she has helped bring great value to my life. She is a true treasure as the pearl/gem that she is, I am truly thankful and grateful to have her as my companion. Thank you, Jesus! Amen.
I LOVE Peggy Adams and all they do for the animals!! I will always support them!! Here's Milo. We gave him a Furever Home when they had free adoption. Of course we donated that day though!
We have adopted cats from Peggy Adams in the past for our family. Each has been a wonderful addition to our family and lived out their lives with us. We recently adopted a Manx kitty for a special friend who lost her husband and suffers from severe depression. The doctor thought an animal would help. WOW! Thank you Peggy Adams for this wonderful addition to my friend's life. She is doing so much better and she and Baby are the best of friends. I would never adopt any animal but a rescue. I have 7 kittys right now and every one is a rescue or adoption. Spay or Neuter. But DON'T ABUSE OR ABANDON! There IS a home for these wonderful babies.
I have been fostering for Peggy Adams for a few years now, and have always had a wonderful experience with them. All the employees are very kind and helpful, and they really care about the animals. I recently adopted a 5 year old cat and was thrilled with the fact that they were able to tell me about the cat's personality and behavior,so I would feel comfortable with the adoption. She is a great cat and a welcome addition to my home. I would recommend Peggy Adams to anyone looking to adopt a furry friend!
Animal Rescue League is now live!

I recently adopted a 9 yr old Boxer mix from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. She is such a well trained dog! I am amazed that this dog sat in Animal Care and Control for 2 months without being adopted, and then in Peggy Adams for 2 more months. She is a wonderful dog! I had her thoroughly checked by my vet, and he have my dog a clean bill of health. Please, consider adopting!
We just adopted a lovely girl named Macy! It was a wonderful experience and Michele in adoptions was so helpful, knowledgeable and courteous! The lovely dog we adopted was rescued by HSUS and brought Macy to Peggy Adams for adoption! Macy was very frightened and shut down but the staff worked very hard to get her to the adoption stage! She was still very timid and wary when we met her but I am happy to say that their little wall-flower has blossomed into a lovely flower in a very short time! Macy is a black dog and there seems to be a stigma with black dogs, they do not get easily adopted but may I say to you all that is hog-wash it is temperament that counts not color! Thank you to the staff at Peggy Adams that saw the potential in Macy, she will be loved, cherished and spoiled rotten because of your dedication!
we have won the lottery with Lucky, our new little dog we have not changed the name, the original owners must have given him the. Best training. He is placid, well mannered not greedy, walks beautifully and is house trained.and what a pleasure to deal with Peggy Adams thank you
We had a great experience adopting a dog through Peggy Adams. It is a great organization that really cares for the animals they have, and also takes great care to ensure that their animals are suitable matches for the adoptive parents. We've had our dog for a week and she is truly a great fit for our household.
We adopted Bubba aka Mr.Whiskers :) about a month ago. The experience was just amazing at Peggy Adams. This is the only shelter I didn't shed a tear! The animals looked happy and healthy. You all are doing a great job keep up the good work :)
After walking dogs @ Peggy o days- you get to know each dogs personality. That said, it became apparent that Bugsy was waiting for us to find him. He was so well socialized through daily doggy playdates @ Peggy that his persoanlity is true blue! Clearly, he was our dog! Even though we never intended to adopt, this little guy immediately expanded our daily happiness from the first hour!
One week in and alot of one on one trust building- we have visited the beach, 2 dog parks, and many long walks- followed many naps!! Long story Long - WOW! We can't recommend Peggy Adams enough for what ever positive furry contact you are looking for!!!! See you at the Dog Park!! Jeff and Lisa
My two sons and I visited Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were looking to adopt a feline friend into our family of three. The staff was very welcoming, and the facility was clean and beautiful. We were given all the time we needed to browse all of the available cats, and to visit with each in their well-kept, glassed-in enclosures. We immediately fell in love with a little kitty named Bunny. The adoption coordinator was very thorough, providing us with all the necessary background information, as well as giving us information on available services, etc. The center also has a wonderful store, well-stocked with everything we needed to begin our journey with Bunny. Our visit was unforgettable, and I highly recommend Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League for all of your adoption needs!
We adopted our dog "Chico" from Peggy Adams 3 weeks ago - what a great experience! The facility was extremely clean, all animals were well cared for and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. When we visited with a few different dogs the staff all knew what they were like and a bit about their personality which helped us make our decision. I can't say enough good things about our experience with them. We love our Chico and when we are ready to adopt again we will definitely be back!
HELLO, MY NAME IS KATINA KRIEGSMANN. I HAD THE UNIQUE PLEASURE OF ADOPTING A FURFRIEND FROM PEGGY ADAMS ANIMAL SHELTER. NIKI WAS SO GRACIOUS AND SUPPORTIVE WHEN I BLUBBERED . THE OTHER STAFF MEMBERS CAME OVER AND STROKED JOE AND CRIED WHILE SAYING FARE WELL TO THEIR FURFRIEND AS WELL.. THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE WAS FILLED WITH GRATITUDE AND JOY. WE CALL JOE JIGGYJOEJINGLE, HE DOES THE JIG AND BACKWARDS MOON WALK WHILE HIS TAGS(bling) jingle. HE IS KIND TO CHILDREN AND EVERYONE HE COMES ACROSS. NOW EVERYONE WANTS HIM. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY TRUE FUR FRIENDS LIFE!!! TAILWAGS,PAW HUGS AND LOTS OF LICKS!!!
I thought it might be sad to visit the shelter, but it was a really wonderful experience! The staff is very capable and helpful, my adoption counselor spent a good amount of time allowing me to see my new, busy young dog in action & provided lots of very useful background info on the dog. I never felt rushed, I was able to bond with the dog & understand his background.
The shelter is spacious, modern and quite lovely! I left with a beautiful new dog, feeling like I'd just seen a little slice of Heaven, here on Earth for animals in need and the public.
I highly reccomend the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.
Riot, (Riot Kaos McFurgason) has been a delightful dog since we adopted him and has adjusted well to our family. He was very excited when we got home and wanted to see everything, he liked our dog Mede and they quickly became friends playing and running. We did find Riot had some of the issues we were told about but with positive reinforcement he responded well. He still has not found the outside of our property and is content just in the area around the outside of the house. After playing hard he is ready for a deep nap. He is loving and truly a great dog!
We cannot thank you enough for allowing Riot to become part of our family.
I have fostered kittens for the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and I recently adopted my puppy from them as well! They do a great job helping animals in our community. I think the spay/neuter program where they catch feral cats, fix them, and then return them is great; it's doing a lot of good to help reduce the number of stray cats. The medical treatment for animals is very fairly priced there, and the staff has been very helpful to me.
My family recently adopted a dog from Peggy Adams. The people who work there, upon walking through the front door, are polite, nice and you can tell they truly care about the animals there. Our adoptive counselor was very helpful and informative with an answer to every question and concern I had. The facility itself is very impresseive and kept up. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to adopt. We are extremely happy with our new addition to the family.

I have adopted my last 2 furbabies from Peggy Adams and I can't say enough!! Always the kindest caring staff!! So friendly and helpful!! They really do an amazing job!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everyone at peggy adams is so genuinely helpful and want the best for the animals as well as the adopters. I had Lee helping me and she was just awsome she helped me find my furevery friend rockstarr (romeo) he could b anymore perfect. And is also benifiting for the training classes they provide.
My experience with Peggy Adams animal rescue was very good. The staff were friendly and they really care for all the animals there. My pet counselor was Caring and knowledgeable. She made the adoption process very quick and simple. My boyfriend and I ended up adopting a 6 1/2-year-old Chihuahua mix. Her name is "BOO".
She is such a sweet and polite little lady. I'm very happy we found each other.
I would highly recommend Peggy Adams to anyone wanting a new addition in their life
Peggy Adams is absolutely amazing. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. Everyone there truly cares about the animals and do their best to provide them with excellent care. I adopted my dog from Peggy Adams. During her younger puppy months she had a terrible fracture but over time was brought back to health thanks to Peggy Adams. Now she is a happy and healthy member of the family. We couldn't be happier.
I went in to Peggy Adams a few weeks ago and was very impressed with the facility. Everyone working there seemed to really love all the animals and they looked like they were taken care of very well. I ended up adopting a kitten. Her name is now Alice and she is the cutest! She had a cold and had to bring her back to the vet there and they took us in a timely matter and she received her medicine. Needless to say she is doing fabulous now. I would definitely recommend Peggy Adams!
Wanting to adopt a kitten, I went to the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue Center. After seeing all the kittens and all of the cats in the very orderly and clean surroundings, I spotted a one year plus cat named Jade (now Gadoo). It was an immediate match. However, I hesitated because I thought I wanted a kitten. As it turns out, I did adopt her and could not be happier. AND, I must say that everyone I spoke with in the process was knowledgable, professional and kind. Peggy Adams was recommended to me and now I am doing the same.
I adopted my sweet baby, Dixie, from here. Their website was super helpful in helping me find the perfect dog for me and once I met her, I knew she was meant for me. Our adoption counselor was very kind and helpful, and I couldn't be happier with my new addition to my family!
Wonderful, clean center. Everyone was very friendly. The adoption process was quick but thorough. My new family member is adjusting fabulously and seems very grateful to be in our home!
I have been adopting pets from Peggy Adams since I was a child. They are so friendly and give advice if needed! I recently went to them a few weeks ago looking for an orange kitten I saw on there site. His name was tabby and we fell in love with his picture. My son and I went looking for him and they brought us to the big dome since he wasn't with the other kittens just yet. We instantly fell in love and took him home! He has been great! My son says he is his best friend and there hard to separate! I highly recommend Peggy Adams for the friendly customer service and pet needs.
I have been volunteering at Peggy Adams go about 18 months. This is a wonderful well run nonProfit that does so much for the animals in the community. From adoptions , spay neuter clinics , catch neuter and release for ferals, and community education , dog training etc , there is no facet of animal care they don't address. They have a long history of community support.
Adopted my sweet cat Peanut (now Olivia) from Peggy Adams during the Black Friday weekend! She has been home with me for a few weeks now and I could not be happier. She is so sweet to my roommate and I, and loves running around our place. I would not have wanted to adopt from anyone else. The whole process was simple and they have continued to check up on my adoption. So pleased to have this sweet friend in my life.
We adopted this beauty, Boots n/k/a Chloe about two months ago from Peggy Adams. She settled in right away. In fact she rules the roost now, and our 12 year old Springer and 2 year old Tuxedo just love her, as do both my husband and I.
We love our little kitty. Came to us healthy, sweet, and she seems to know how lucky she is, as she seems truly grateful everyday to have her forever home. Peggy Adams is a wonderful place to adopt your new family member.
Peggy adams us great. I gave adopted Dallas my pets from here. They are very informative helpful and kind I wish the world was filled with more compassionate people .
I was over joyed to find our dog Kaiser he has been such a delight it feels as if he's been with us already. I would recommend you adopt a older dog Kaiser is 8yrs they also need loving parents as well. Peggy Adams provided excellent help with the process of adopting him and friendly staff made the whole experience stress free.
Going to Peggy Adams was awesome. My dog ZELDA is such a good dog. She brings me much joy in my life & the life of my family. We are truly blessed to have her....
After losing my 2 schauzers from cancer in 2010 I said I would not get another dog. After losing my uncle, mother and cousin to cancer within a week apart, my friends decided I needed to get another dog to bring me out of a depressed mood.
I went to Peggy Adams Rescue shelter and found my little bundle of joy in the form of little Izzy. She is my shadow. She has taken over my life. I love her and will always take the best care I can give
Peggy Adams stall was excellent in helping me. Any questions I needed to ask they were there to answer. The facility was well kept. I would recommend to every one looking for their bundle of joy to visit Peggy Adams Rescue Shelter.
We had a great experience adopting Sage, a 9 year old tabby cat. The process was very easy and now we have a great and loving new companion in our home!
I adopted Pansy ( chihuahua mix) on October 30. I had just lost my little dog which I had for 11 years and decided I needed a dog in my life. My veterinarian found Pansy at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. She is a quiet loving little girl and will fill my days with happiness. The experience at Peggy Adams was very professional and pleasant. Everyone I came into contact was very congenial. Thank you Peggy Adams.
Great place clean great dogs they have all the information of each animal. Got me a great dog and proud of the decision I made. Thanks guys me and my family are so proud to own one of your dogs
Peggy Adams is a great place for animals looking for forever homes; I've always adopted my pets from various organizations (the pound, Humane Society shelters and animals rescue leagues) and Peggy Adams ranks at the top of the charts. The animals are well cared for physically and emotionally, and the adoption process is thorough, well organized and affordable. Peggy Adams is also a place that takes last chance animals from the pound to try to give them the best possible chance for a happy life; it's important to me to be have the opportunity to support and share in that good work. I hope you'll consider adopting an unwanted, or given up for other reasons, pet from Peggy Adams: you'll be helping the pet you adopt and the others still waiting for forever homes tremendously. There are so many animals that need help and care; thank God for all the efforts that Peggy Adams puts forth on their behalf!
We love our new kitten Theodore! Thanks to Peggy Adams and Jose specifically, who was very kind and informative throughout the adoption process, everything went pretty smoothly and we had our new family member home with us within a couple weeks. In the meantime he was extremely well taken care of, and already had his microchip inserted and his first booster administered which was great. We've had Theodore for about a month and a half now and he is a very loving and playful kitten, and actually pretty well behaved most of the time :)
I have had my dog for the last 18 years and last year he was diagnosed with degenerative Myelopothy, and it has been heart breaking watching him fail. Now that he is in the final stages, my boyfriend and I decided that it was time. This was the hardest decision I have ever made in my entire life. I scheduled an appointment 2 days prior and when we got there they said they had no record of my appointment, after we paid in full. They delivered this information insincerely and accusingly. They said they could pencil me in, but I couldn’t be present in the room. I have had my dog for 18 years I do not want the last thing for him to see is the inside of a kennel, frightened and alone. After spending a day full of anxiety and tears we were told that we would have to come back tomorrow if I would like to be present in the room at the time of euthanasia. I had to leave there with my dog, to return in the morning to do it all over again. I am in total shock, and I would not recommend this service to anyone who loves their animal.
Peggy Adams is a great shelter! Everything about this shelter is perfect. The shelter is very clean, their employees including volunteers are professional & personable. Overall they are running a great organization. They have been around for a very long time and do many event in the community! Highly recommended! My family & I all always adopt from Peggy ADams and refer them to others when they want a new pet!
I went to Peggy Adams in search of a farm companion dog for our poultry farm in Florida. I spend a lot of time performing my care for the chickens I wanted a dog to make me company. I was very scared although because I knew how challenging that could be. My counselor Kathryn was simply amazing, she understood my concerns and needs and asked a lot of questions to help match a dog to our situation at the farm. We had narrowed it down to 4 dogs. So sad I had to choose, my heart was hurting for those doggies I wish I could take them all home. Surprisingly, I fell in love with 2...a 4 yr old boxer mix and and 4 month old pointer mix. It has been about 1.month they are part of my family and I couldn't love them more, what a perfect companion they are already. Indeed they still need training around the chickens but, we have all the time ahead of us.
If you are thinking of adopting, please try Peggy Adams and see the wonderful work they do.
Sincerely,
Alessandra Dias
I adopted my cat, Oliver, from Peggy Adams just three weeks ago and he is adorable. He makes the cutest noise when he sees me and he has settled in and is the King of the house. Thank you Peggy Adams for having this great cat for me to give a forever home, he makes me so happy.

We adopted "Lavender" (a young Kitten) a few weeks ago from Peggy Adams. The volunteer staff are passionate and really get to know the pets personalities, helping us find our Perfect Match for Our Family. I am thankful for the dedication, time and care they provide to all their adoptable pets, it definitely shows. We wouldn't have been able to find our Lavender without them. I Highly recommend Peggy Adams Rescue League.
Peggy Adams staff/vets have always been friendly, helpful and caring. They are always willing to answer any questions. My most recent adoption was in April 2015 when a Manx kitten wondered onto my property hungry & homeless. I fed and watched over her till she got old enough to be adopted.
Dropped her off at Peggy Adams where they spayed her, gave her flea medication, microchip and vaccines and took good care of her.
I had grown attached to her, so in a few days I called them to let them know I wanted to adopt (I have 2 sibling cats I adopted 8 yrs ago from them).
They were happy she had found a home and we were reunited once again.
We adopted a little kitty from Peggy Adams about a month ago. The staff was friendly and very informative. We love our new addition to our family. Peggy Adams is a wonderful rescue to adopt from.
Peggy Adams is a great place to adopt an animal from we got our dog from there he is great addition to out family. Thank you again Peggy Adams. I would recommend you experience it for yourself.
We adopted our newest addition, Pearl (3 month kitten) about three months ago from Peggy Adams. It was by far the best experience we have ever had! We were greeted instantly at the main door by a volunteer. We explained to her that we were looking for a kitten with a lot of energy who could keep up with our dog. She led us over to the kitten area and let me go into the play pen. Boy, was that fun! There were about 10 kittens total and they were all so adorable. Any nerves that I had about adopting suddenly were wiped away. They helped me pick our the perfect new addition to our family. Pearl still hadn't been spayed at time of adoption so we had to wait about 1 1/2 days until we were able to pick her up. When we did pick her up, the staff was so helpful and excited for us! She did arrive to our home with a cold, so we took her back to Peggy Adams and the vet gave her a free bottle of medicine. The cold cleared right up. In addition, she also had a bit of ring worm, but with a few visits to her own vet, the rash cleared right up in about a month. We are so thankful for Peggy Adams. They loved our kitten before we even met her, and they took care of her until we had the chance to take her home. Thank you, Peggy Adams!!
They are the best place to find your new family member. They have helped me in the process of my salley finding her way into God's gates to heaven and they have helped us find two new family members that have fit into our home with our three dogs. The two new kittens have bonded with our three little ones and they think of themselves as two little dogs.PeggyAdams knows animals very well, they knew exactly which kittens would bond with our three little dogs. I would only use them again to find the right little one for our home. Kite Allih@yahoo.com
I got my dog from Peggy Adams 10 months ago. In the very beginning we were a little hesitant because he was abused so badly. With a lot of love he has turned in the best dog ever. Everyone loves him & can't believe the difference in his behavior since we got him. He is the best thing to happen to me.
About a month ago, I adopted a 3 year old female Tabby cat, Eudora, from Peggy Adams. From the moment I walked in the door, I was blown away by how professional the staff and facilities were. You could tell from talking to the people who work there that it is their true passion in life. The facilities were very clean and my cat is just beautiful, vibrant, and healthy. During a lengthy consultation to make sure that Eudora would be a good fit for me, I could tell the staff really cared for these animals, Great experience overall, thanks!
The very day after our beloved Precious had to be put down for non treatable cancer, I went to Peggy Adams because our other cat, Priscilla was beside herself with grief (as were my husband and I) I carefully "shopped" all the kitties and found them to be wonderfully cared for and the staff was helpful but not intrusive. I finally met our new furry family member, Athena/aka Tina and after spending much time together, decided she would fit in well with our family. She is a DREAM CAT, and Priscilla no longer guards the door awaiting Prescious return. She is way too busy keeping Athena on her toes! Priscilla is almost 20 yo, and Athena is 3. You really "had to be there!" LOL!
I recently adopted a little kitty from Peggy Adams. This is the second pet I adopt from them. This organization is amazing! The place is clean and spacious. They have volunteers coming to pet the cats and play with them. You can tell that they really love and care for the animals. Both times I adopted I got a cat who was neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccinations. They offer all veterinary services for low prices and even the adoption itself was "name your own price". I hope they will always have enough funding to keep doing the important work they are doing for abandoned animals.
I got my little girl Pansy right after my husband passed. It took her less than a week to become close with me. She sleeps in the bed with me and reminds me when to lift her up on the bed for her bedtime. She is so small she needs help up. She has never had an accident in the time I have had her in the house and only barks if she feels danger. What a little blessing for this senior citizen and yes Pansy is 6 years old we are a perfect fit. Thank you Peggy Adams
I found my girl Madison, or known around our home Maddie. She is a great dog, and with the help of Peggy Adams I was able to welcome our new family member into our home. She acclimated to our home pretty quickly, and we are incredibly happy to have her. Peggy Adams is a great organization, and I want to thank them for saving my big girl.
The folks at Peggy Adams are a unique and wonderful bunch. They took the time to listen to what we were looking for in a dog and even though we had a few adoptees picked out from our visits online, they were able to make a few other suggestions, and one in particular we feel in love with. He has been an ideal fit for our family with his temperament and nature. I'm sure this is due in large part to Michele's (our adoption coordinator) ability to listen and match up prospective owners and pets. We are extremely pleased with the treatment we received at Peggy Adams and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to adopt a pet.
Amazing place to get the right fit for you family. They treat their animals great and you go home with a microchip, your new friend neutered and up to date with their shots. They also give you a list of shots that are needed and when depending on age of the cat or dog. Very affordable as well. Great place, i would recommend them to everyone.
Recently lost our beloved dog Archie to cancer. It was unexpected & devastating. Our dog Day-Z was also sad wondering what happened to her friend. Went to Peggy Adams rescue league not for a replacement but for an affectionate loyal companion. We found Rufus, a young terrier mix. He's turned out to be a wonderful lovable dog with a personality that will win your heart. He's helped fill that void in our hearts &I thank Peggy Adams rescue league for their help & dedication in finding us a true match for our family. He has finally found a forever home & we have. lots of socks too!!!
I recently adopted a wonderful kitten from Peggy Adams. The staff has been wonderful and they have kept in touch to ensure my new pet is adjusting well!
I just had to put down my 15 year old cat and was heartbroken. Soon after I went to Peggy Adams and adopted Milo and I have fallen in love. He is wonderful, they were wonderful to work finding the right kitty. I have dealt with several animal welfare org. In New Jersey and this place is absolutely amazing!!!
HELPFUL! AFFORDABLE! The staff was amazing when we adopted our puppy. And the store has the BEST PRICES in TOWN! We bought a leash and collar from them and saw online that they cost way more! Treats and toys are way more affordable then the local pets stores! We have been back just to shop!
Such a clean shelter and so full of welcome. I loved my first cat so much that I began volunteering at Peggy, to give back to the place that gave me so much happiness.
About a year ago I began volunteering in the Quiet Room at Peggy Adams, working to help cats better adjust to life at a shelter. Since then, I have adopted two more and I could not be happier. This shelter is a blessing in disguise and has given so much life back to the animals.
I highly recommend adopting from here!
Best Regards,
Heather
I found a little stray cat in my neighborhood and Peggy Adams was the only rescue willing to take in this sweet girl. I could not get her out of my my mind, so after a "cool off" period recommended by the Intake Specialist to assure I'd be willing to take on a 15 year commitment, I picked up my little girl and she has acclimated well into my dog pack. Through the cool off period, I reached out and visited Peggy Adams multiple times and each time they exhibited kindness always answering my questions. I support numerous rescue organizations across the country and Peggy Adams is one of my favorites. The volunteer and staff are highly engaged and obviously have a great love for animals.
I recently brought home a german shepherd who needed heartworm treatment. The staff at the shelter was efficient and on top of what she needed and took care of it without cost to me. Every person I came in contact with, from my adoption counselor to the person who answered the phone was caring, respectful, and never missed a beat.
This team is truly a group of dedicated people who have a great love and care for their animals and for doing the right thing by them. Thank you Peggy Adams ! You all do incredible and important work. Carolyn B
I found my Ima Baby through Peggy Adams and Count Down to Zero. I LOVE HER!!!! I can't stand how much I love this kitten….she is my baby!! Peggy Adams is such a caring rescue….support them!!
I had a cat I got from a shelter many years ago when he was just 5 months old and he lived to be 22 years old. He died two years ago and I decided to get a dog this time. I researched breeds and decided on a King Charles Cavalier. I got on the waiting list at Peggy Adams as well as several others. One day I received an email saying Peggy Adams had a King Charles Cavalier ready for adoption. I jumped in my car and drove to the shelter and met Finn. He was a beautiful dog who just turned 7 so we were both seniors. I received a lot of good advise from Michele, a fantastic adoption counselor. I was given time to take him for a walk and get to know him. I was happy to take him home with me and he loved the car ride. We have become great buddies and I am busy learning how to be a responsible and capable dog owner. I can call the behavior hot line when I have questions and the to-do list I was given is very helpful. Finn is a great addition to my household and I have not felt alone for one second since he came into my life. I am also getting a lot of good exercise and fresh air when I take him for 2 or 3 long walks each day. The neighbors are coming out of the woodwork to meet and greet Finn and even bring him treats. What fun to have Finn in my life. Thank you for all the great work you do at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue!
After having lost our 4 year old kitty to Leukemia, we visited Peggy Adams for a new kitty. It was beyond a wonderful experience as adopting a new cat was new to us as our other kitty found us as a stray. So, Dan learned about our story and found us the Perfect cat to fill the void. My Dad and I adopted Minka but we changed her name to Miss Daisy. She is an 8 months old black cat who is pure delight. She plays and loves and is the perfect companion for my dad. She makes us laugh with her silly little games and she sleeps next to my dad every night. Peggy Adams is a lovely, clean facility with caring people. Dan was right on with his match for us with Little Miss Daisy. A huge shout out to Dan for his excellence in finding the perfect home for Daisy !
I had been going to Peggy Adams at least twice a month for about 6 months now and it was always to look at the dogs and pay them some attention and I would always leave loving one...well 2/2/15 Sammy the Pitbull caught our eye and our plan wasn't to actually leave with him, however that's what happened. It was such an easy process, very organized and they explained Sammys story, offered us training classes free of charge afterwards that happened on Saturdays...It was just a great process. Meeting Sammy was very overwhelming at first he was full of POWERFUL ENERGY!! Well he has done a complete 360 and is such a loving caring cute pup...By rescuing you save a life!!
My name it's Maria, I went to Peggy to adopt , the process was really easy and I'm very happy, my Sugar is very sweet well train and lovely, the perfect Valentine's present , thanks to Peggy and specially counselor Dan that make that happening.
Thanks
Me and my wife recently adopted a dog from Peggy Adams. The staff and volunteers there are nice and helpful, and didn't mind answering any questions we had. We met with both Michelle and Dan during our adoption process. They where both very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. We eventually found a very loving new family member named Magic, and he has already won our hearts over. I would greatly recommend this facility and will be coming back soon for some basic pet training. Thank you for your help!
I had heard about Peggy Adams Animal Rescue from seeing things in the media. It seemed like the only choice for us really, as we don't support pet stores as a place to get a pet. I actually would like to see an end to pet stores altogether, because the animals are often sickly, have been poorly taken care of, and I believe most if not all come from puppy mills etc... I would strongly encourage anyone wishing to adopt a new family member to come and visit Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. We had never been, and I can tell you I was really impressed with their facility! It's beautiful, clean, and inviting to all. We already have two beautiful Goldens at home, and for her 10th birthday my daughter Hannah wanted a sweet new kitty to add to the mix! Everyone was very nice and helpful from the start, and we were allowed to roam freely in the feline area, spending as much time as we wished visiting with and holding all the cats and kittens we could handle! My daughter even sat in a rocking chair and rocked with a potential candidate purring happily in ️her lap!! How cool is that?! She ultimately chose a 9mo. old black kitty she named Jinxi. We made a $100 donation as our adoption fee, which I think is a tremendously fair amount considering how much they put into caring for their animals! Jinxi (formerly B.J.), regularly saw a veterinarian, received vaccinations, and was neutered as well. That is a tremendous value for the cost! We also purchased supplies in their on-site store such as litter, litter pan, feeding bowls, collar, toys etc... I would SO much rather buy these items at Peggy Adams than at a pet store because they are VERY reasonably priced AND the funds go right back into the facility and the animals! It's a win-win and we will definitely be back. Thank you!!!!!
Jeannie Smith and Hannah
We adopted twice from Peggy Adams and couldn't be happier with our decision. Both of our dogs were perfect matches for our family. Such a wonderful organization of truly caring people. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for your hard work and dedication for these precious souls!
I am so grateful to the staff at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, especially Jan Peeler for she found the perfect little dog for me and my husband. The state of the art facility is so clean and welcoming. I am sure that the cats and dogs who arrive there to be adopted, feel a little more safe and secure with the kindnesses shown to them. I could not be more pleased.
When I decided it was time to adopt a kitten after losing my beloved cat of 20 years, there was no doubt about where I would go. Peggy Adams is a wonderful organization, full of fantastic employees and volunteers who make your visit so welcoming. As soon as I set eyes on Sofia (then called Sophie), I was in love. Michele was so helpful and eager to assist. They give you all the information you need to start your life with your new furry member of the family. Since I've been following and donating to Peggy Adams for years, I know all the hard work they put in to help these beautiful animals. I love Sofia to death and I can't thank Peggy Adams enough for allowing me the privilege of giving Sofia the best home and all the love and attention she deserves!
Me and my wife adopted a pair of beautiful cats from Peggy Adams through Petsmart.
It has been the best decision we've ever made, everybody was extremely helpful, both cats were already fixed, and one of em had a little issue with his stomach and they just took care of it immediately when we told them.
Would definitely recommend to everybody without hesitation!
Thanks Peggy Adams for giving us our two little babies. ( Ash and Royce )
I got to adopt a wonderful 3 year old mix the perfect dog but it was my first time adopting and was not sure how to go about things so I saw somebody with a dog and asked them how to go about things she was so helpful got me the perfect dog so kind the staff was just amazing the kennels were clean the staff knew all dogs by name they are awesome place for any pets for anytime..
I reacused my lab mix from Peggy Adams about 3 months ago. From the minute I walked in, I was impressed with how helpful everyone was and with how clean the entire place was. I found a puppy named Zac and fell in love right away. Michelle helped me to make sure Zac was a good fit for me! She also took the time to go over all the services Peggy Adams offers (shots, training classes, etc). I couldn't be happier with my experience!
Even though it was a very busy time when I visited Peggy Adams and it took a while for someone to help us, it was a really nice experience adopting Salem, our 9 month old kitty. The facilities for the cats is wonderful and you can tell that they are really well taken care of. My kids had a fun time playing with all of the cats. Salem stood out to us and like they say, sometimes the cat picks you. He is a good boy and a sweet addition to our family. We received everything we needed when we adopted him and Jose followed up to see how he is doing. Thank you Peggy Adams and I will definitely recommend others adopt from here!
We adopted a furry friend for Christmas at Peggy Adams, Our experience from start to finish was a great one. The volunteers are warm and friendly!!! Thanks Peggy Adams!!
Lilly, a mixed breed of maybe, Jack Russel, Pappion, Terrier, no one knows for sure, except that she is the BEST! Our rescue of 13 years crossed the rainbow bridge and we needed someone to fill our lonely hearts again. With little prompting from my family and friends I reluctantly went to look for another little dog. My husband and I found ourselves at Peggy Adams. What a wonderful place! We were greeted and all our questions were answered and we went looking. Around the first corner was this little cutie, with sad little eyes. We requested a visit and she was just a perfect match right away. At 7 lbs, we found she had come to Peggy Adams with pneumonia, and then got kennel cough. She had just been declared healthy enough for adoption. and we found her. We did change her name from Molly to Lilly and she is a happy little girl. She regularly goes for check ups and has grown to 10 lbs....no more skinny bones. At 11 months she is still a puppy and loves to play ball. I truly thank Peggy Adams for the wonderful care and the clean facility and everything they did for Lilly to keep her safe until we found her and brought her home. We love her and she has happy playful eyes now. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Marilyn and Gary
Six months ago I found my baby girl kitty on Peggy Adams website and it has been the best 6 months ever/ I am convinced that Mischief my sweet and loveable tortoise shell cat is the smartest cat in the whole world. I can't thank Peggy Adams enough for bringing such joy to my life. I only wish I could adopt more animals. The staff was a real delight to work with and I would wholeheartedly recommend them.
we saw our cat Rosie a calico on Peggy Adams site, and went to see her, we were so impressed with the place so clean and nice places for the cats. we loved Rosie the minute we saw her. she is so friendly with everyone and loves our small dog and they lay touching each other to sleep,we rate it 5 stars
Peggy Adams was very informative and knowledgeable about the beautiful English Cocker Spaniel my family adopted. We really went to the shelter to just adore the animals but immediately fell in love with Lulu and therefore adopted her. We were there during the "adopt a pet for free week" and we were not pressured to pay at all but we waned to make a donation to assist the shelter in caring for the animals.
I highly recommend Peggy Adams to anyone looking to adopt a pet.
I always wanted a rescue animal and alot of my friends and family suggested peggy
adams rescue league. I saw my furever friend on the peggy adams website
I was looking for an animal on mothers day I didnt see
Any dogs I was interested in into a logged on to the peggy adams website 2 days
after and I saw a picture of a shih shu named gucci he looked so
Cute friendly and innocent I fell in love at first site.He is the perfect addition to my
Family he is loved and well taken care of and we are so happy we
Have him thank you peggy adams I will recomend them to all my friends
and family.
My wonderful little Pika (19 + yrs old) had passed away and I wanted to make a home for another little rescue. Although not looking for a kitten I ended up with an adorable 2 month old. The staff was very helpful and the animals are kept in virtually spotless condition. I received a wonderful, healthy little girl cat and named her Kattie. She's now almost 5 months old, adorable, curious, strong and growing prettier every day.
Peggy Adams also provides inexpensive vaccination services. In addition, you will go home after adopting with a supply of high quality dry food. Just a wonderful place.
My husband & I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on August 15th of this year. Our gift to each other was to be a furbaby. We had lost our sweet loving cat of 14 years in April & felt by August we would be ready to adopt a rescue. I was a ShihTsu rescue Mommy prior to our marriage & had decided that I wanted a furbaby who would also get me out of the house & walking. We sent to Peggy Adams just willing to look. We found one sweet little baby who was already adopted pending surgery. I requested that if that adoption didn't go thru, could we be 2nd listed. The wonderful lady who was working with us, putting all our information in the computer as we told her all our info, found this sweet loving black & white Lhasa or Shih tsu, who was 5 years old, trained, sweet, & has completed our home.
I was so pleased with our experience. How I wish we were allowed more that one pet in our complex, as there's plenty of room in my heart for more, but rules are rules.
Thank you again
Ilene & Barry Goldberg, & Tibby Too :o)))
I hear od Peggy Adams from a friend so that same night the facility was on the news with a horrible story. I saw a dog that I have liked to meet, and I drove to the facility. I found a beautiful facility, friendly workers, very clean kennels and all aminals where safe, clean and seemed ok.
I would recomend anyone looking for a pet to try Peggy Adam's place, get to know the volunters, and the other staff, get to see the pets hoping for a good home. Don't let yourself down, we all need someone or thing to love and to love us back, what better to have a pet, they don't hold grudges, dislike you or get angry at you, they are always there with love and more to give. So try looking for your pet at Peggy Adams, you will be happy and suprized to see this place

On May '14 a friend Marcela and I saw a big, HUGE dog - Huskita - abandoned on the street. We had some food on the car and we invited him into the car...he jumped! We went straight to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. When we got there a VERY nice staff helped us to received this big gentle giant. They took a very good care of him...I was thinking on him for more than two months and I mentioned to my friend...if the dog is still there I will pick him up...he was there...I saw his picture online....I went there and all the staff gave me all the information, support and his medical history and they were very good organized....then I took him at home...where I have another female dog...her name is Milla...they were VERY good together BUT for me was a drastic change on my live...after too stressful 5 days...I was ready to returned him to the shelter...I didn't want to take that decision because he was so nice, very good behavior, cute and very intelligent dog...I needed a little more time to understand him...but I collapsed into my couch crying like a baby with my hands on my face...Milla came to my left side licking me...and at my right side BLUE came and he started licking me also.....I gave him a chance...he gave me a chance...and I am VERY happy that I took that decision. HE WILL STAY WITH US FOREVER.
Adopting my dog from Peggy Adams was a great experience but their great service did not end there. I went back for booster and rabies shots at their clinic and also went back for the free training classes on Saturday mornings with wonderful professional trainers. My puppy and I learned so much that we went back for other classes offered by them as well and last Saturday we graduated from the "AKC STAR PUPPY PROGRAM" .
Every Saturday morning, when going to classes, I could see the volunteers participating on special training sessions with the dogs that were still on the shelter ! I had never seen that in any other place.
They take such good care of the animals!
I strongly recommend this shelter if you are looking for an addition to your family. It is wonderful place!
I adopted a small Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix, named Toby, recently. He is a senior dog and had been at the shelter for ten months. He is doing quite well and gets along wonderfully with my Pomeranian and my Maltese. His owner had to turn him in after an illness. Peggy Adams is a wonderful facility and every SPCA/Animal Control Shelter in the Nation should be required to visit this facility at least once, in order to see what their shelter could be in the best possible circumstances. This is a very well funded shelter with a compound of buildings and an army of very motivated volunteers. The dogs are treated very well and as a result, they are fantastic animals by the time they get to their new owners. My dog was housebroken and motivated to be with other pets. He was used to being walked on a lead daily. The volunteers clearly loved him. He had a small growling issue and was given time with animal behaviorists to help correct this issue. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful organization. If only every shelter could be this well funded and managed, there would be few animal issues in the US.
I've been a foster parent for Peggy Adams for many years now, and an animal lover my entire life. Every case I have taken in I have fallen in love with, I have been very fortunate to know that they've all gone to very special forever homes. This past March I was blessed to foster a beautiful five month old American Bulldog that I named Luna. After three weeks with us my husband and I decided we just could not live without her and adopted her in April. She has been a delight and a wonderful addition to our beautiful family.
Thank you to everyone at Peggy Adam Org. Your work and loving hearts do not go unnoticed.
Thank you,
Gisela and Bill Shore
After my 19 1/2 year-old cat passed away, I spent a lot of time looking for a new cat on the Internet. The Peggy Adams website was, by far, the best. There were Individualized, thorough descriptions of the animals, great pictures- even a video. I found the perfect cat on their site.
I corresponded about her via email and got prompt, helpful responses that really made me want to see her (I live far away).
I visited the facility the next day. I was so impressed. It is clean, well-lit, well-appointed and modern.
The staff is great. From the Greeter, to the Adoption Coordinator, to the check-out lady, everyone was helpful and caring. I felt like they were really trying to match the animal and the human. They even provided me with a personality test that they had given her!
She is so healthy and well-socialized. Peggy Adams already gave her all of her shots and a microchip. Very impressive.
Everything about Peggy Adams is amazing. I would never go anywhere else!
I adopted a precious Pom from Peggy Adams Rescue League in Palm Beach. The facility was stupendous. They were totally committed to the animals and very kind. The gentleman that helped me was compassionate and very involved in helping animals.
We went to Peggy Adams looking to adopt a cat. Their staff was very friendly and helpful and all of the animals seemed very happy there. Their cat room was very impressive. Some cats roaming around free, others in rooms with doors so you can visit with the cats in a more personal environment. And "fact sheets" about each cat was posted outside each room or cage. And the staff was able to easily pull up a full history of any cats we were interested in. We fell in love with this one cat. He was a bit scared when we met him, but the moment we brought him home, he became the friendliest, most loving lap cat ever. I was very happy with the ease of the adoption process and would highly recommend Peggy Adams if you are looking to adopt a cat or dog.
Being a dog owner for years and having multiply dogs ,,this boy I adopted by far has become one that is truly treasured by not only my human family but my animal family. Adopt don't buy puppy mill dogs
Thanks to lori and Peggy Adams for finding us such a lovely and loving Kitten. After my 21yr old passed and buried in Peggy Adam's pet cemetery (wonderful) and the grieving time passed,we realized how much love a little one has added to our lives. Lori found the perfect little guy to add to our home. My other 21yr. old just loves him.
The folks at Peggy Adams do such great work not only for the animals but to families as well.
I can't thank them enough for all the love they helped provide my family.
My sister had found a wee little kitten and had taken her to Peggy Adams. When she showed me the picture, the kitten was too adorable for me to pass on. I contacted them told them that my sister dropped the kitten off and I wanted to adopt her. They immediately took my info and placed it in the adoption folder for the kitten. I would be the first to adopt her and she was mine. They took excellent care of her and followed up with me on all of her medical needs. It's a wonderful thing they do there and it is even more rewarding to the clients who want to open their homes to these poor animals. The love we get from this little kitten is astounding and watching her play with our other cat gives us so much pleasure. They are inseparable now. Please adopt first! It is well worth it!
My husband and I were looking for a forever fur baby and arrived at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue around 4pm on a Sunday. We had such an amazing experience. The dog cages were extremely clean and the information on each dog was thorough and up to date. We found our dream puppy and we were able to meet with her and get to know her before we proceeded. The adoption specialist, Linda, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She did an HOA check to ensure we were allowed to have dogs in our development. She provided us with all the information she could on our puppy. She also helped us choose an appropriate leash, collar and toys for her. The entire process took a little over an hour which was reasonable when making such a big commitment. Overall our experience adopting from Peggy Adams was fantastic. We love our new forever fur baby, Kaleesi. Thanks Peggy Adams!!
The Peggy Adams rescue was a great experience for me. I recently lost a cat of 18 years. Peggy Adams helped me to pick a new cat hat would fit into our home. Having other pets in the household i knew this would not going to be an easy task, but with there help it was. Our new 8 year old cat could not be happier.
Thanks Again
Pete
After losing my pet of 19 years I wasn’t sure I wanted another kitty, I was a huge loss to my wife and I, but after a few months the house seemed very empty when I or my wife returned home at night. We live in MA. But had friends in Boynton Beach who called us before Thanksgiving and asked if we were ready for a new kitten, a neighbor of theirs cat had had kittens a few weeks earlier. We got pictures of the litter and picked out 2 we wanted from photos (you can’t just have 1). We flew down for Thanksgiving with a carrier very excited. When we arrived we found out the neighbor had taken the litter to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue, because she didn’t think we were serious about coming down to adopt the kittens. We got in the car and drove over in hopes of finding them.
I was amazed to find such a fantastic Animal Rescue. I had never seen anything like it up in MA.
We were greeted and explained our problem. They tried and help us locate the kittens, but they were already gone. We decided we weren’t going home empty handed. We spent the next 2 hours driving poor Lori crazy playing with the kittens and finally picked 2. While finishing the adoption I was shocked to be handed a full medical report on both kitten’s and the amount of attention they had already had.
This is really a special place for anyone who would like to adopt a special animal in their life or 2.
Kittens are adjusting to the snow in MA, but both doing great
I adopted my cat here and the staff took the time to give me the cat's history and also to make sure that he was a great fit with our family. He was a very clean, healthy, and happy cat who adjusted to the move very quickly. All the cats there were well-loved by the staff and volunteers and it shows. We couldn't be happier with our Toffee, who's such a sweet, loving cat.
I went there to look for a female cat. i was greeted by a volunteer and filled out an application. I was matched up with a number of different cats. I originally went there to see a siamese cat but it was being fostered at the time. i did go online and saw the photos of all the available females. my 2nd choice from the pictures was a female named mucci. I was brought in to see her and it was love at first site for me and for the cat. she came over to me, jumped in my lap,was purring and just looked so loveable. I decided to adopt her and i am glad i did because another person was also interested in her. It was my luck that i said yes first. the staff and the volunteers were so friendly and knowledgeable about all the cats and kittens. it was explained to me about her health, her likes and her medical history. adopting her and changing her name to shayna was so easy. when i brought her home and released her into my condo, it took only 5 minutes for her to look like she lived there. having just survived cancer surgery i was advised by my doctor to get some kind of a emotional support or therapy animal. adopting her was one of the best decisions i have ever made. your staff knew what i was looking for and matched me up with the best, loveable, affectionate cat ever. keep up the good work and i have recommended your shelter to so many senior citizens looking for pets
My family has adopted several pets over the years from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League of the Palm Beaches.
It's wonderful. I can't say enough to praise the love and care that the animals receive at Peggy Adams, the staff and the volunteers are devoted, and patient, what's more the facility is kept very clean.
We love Peggy Adams.
We lost a dog and were looking for a companion for our other dog. We were invited to Peggy Adams and not only found the perfect dog, but one that has brought so much joy into our lives, and all who meet her. We were so impressed with the care and attention that the staff at Peggy Adams gave to the adoption process. The dog was well trained and obviously cared for at the facility. It was obvious that volunteers and professionals love the work they do and they do it very well. We could not have been happier to receive the little bundle we call Coco. The facilities are outstanding, and it clearly shows how well the staff care for the animals in their trust.
What a surprise to find a wonderful shelter. I had not known about Peggy Adams until I went with my daughter. There were many kittens and cats for adoption. I could not get over the loving care that the attendants gave the animals. They were all so well cared for and happy. While I was waiting for my daughter to get her kitten examined, I spotted a little siamese mix kitten sleeping all curled up and not playing with the other kittens in hjer area. I was allowed to pick her up and fell in love with her. She had no tail and had just been spayed. I adopted her immediately. I took her home. That was seven weeks ago. I could not be happier.
Peggy Adams is by far the most loving shelter for animals. The attendants there are devoted and loving.
I absolutely love Peggy Adams. In the past 15 years I've rescued 2 cars & recently 2 jack Russell puppies (talk about luck). We went there to adopt one female puppy for my 4 year old daughter but we feel in love with her brother as well. It was Christmas time so we were able to name or price. The draft and volunteers are very carrying and accommodating. if that hasn't sold you then you'll love that they offer FREE doggy training classes on Saturday. This is the place to adopt, no need to look further.
We were looking for a small older dog to love and keep us company. I looked on adopt a pet for about a week and e-mailed stories and pictures to myself of many dogs. i kept going back and looking at Chrissy, a 9 year old poodle/shitzu mix with special needs. I e-mailed them and received a prompt reply from Linda Weissman. She was very honest about Chrissy, timid and her eye issue. We went to Peggy Adams 2/02/2014 to meet Chrissy, Michelle took us into a room and brought Chrissy in, she loves tennis balls so she played with one while with us, then another young lady (unfortunately I can't remember her name) who fostered Chrissy came in to describe her to us. Everyone was very patient, I couldn't ask for a kinder group of volunteers. We adopted Chrissy, our first night together, she slept on our bed with us. This day was especially significant as it was the 3 year anniversary our last dog Teddy passed away, it was absolutely a coincidence, I think Teddy helped us find Chrissy. They have a senior to senior program, if a person over 55 adopts a dog over 5 years old there is no charge for the dog. I was so impressed with their program, I made a donation anyway.
We lost our little chihuahua suddenly and my husband was devastated; the saddest I've ever seen him in 35 years of marriage. I would have waited awhile but the house was so quiet and empty. He found Peggy Adams online and saw that they had a few chihuahuas for adoption. We went for a visit and saw Pedro and we were hooked.
The facility was clean. The dogs were clean. There seemed to be plenty of volunteers to give the dogs attention. Our adoption counsellor was great. She made us, and the dog feel comfortable. I did have a question and the behavioral counsellor called me back right away.
I think the best part has been the follow up. They don't just give you a dog and send you on your way. They offer weekly obedience/socialization classes. We've had dogs all of our married lives and have never had trainers explain how to work with a dog so well.
They have also contacted us to see how things are going. This was a wonderful place and I would recommend it to anyone.
After losing our last two cats, the house seemed so empty. We went to Peggy Adams seeking 2 older cats, but after several hours we could not find the right match, so despite our ages (76) we looked for kittens. I cannot say enough about the environment and the attention these little guys enjoy here. The place is spotless, the affection of the staff and volunteers is genuine, and the warmth of the place is infectious. In over 50 years of marriage, and now, our 9th and 10th cats, I can honestly state that these two are the most affectionate, devoted and beautiful little guys, and I thank the Peggy Adams shelter with creating the right environment to prepare these little guys for adoption. Soho and Chelsea display love for us and each other - and everyone who comes to visit. I wouldn't consider any other place for adopting a great loving pet.
I spent several months debating whether to add a playmate for my cat Buddy. I felt bad for leaving him alone for so many hours while my husband and I were at work. When we finally decided to adopt, I looked online and came across an adoption event at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. I had never been in a pet shelter, but I expected to see sad little cats in solitary confinement. Instead, mostly all the cats were grouped in cubicles with glass fronts and room to move around. I was able to narrow my choice by the personality descriptions listed for each kitty. We adopted little Olivia that day! I only wish we had done this sooner! She is sweet with us and is teaching Buddy good manners.
My family and I went to Peggy Adams and adopted our adorable Manchester terrier mix puppy Cookie. The interview was extensive and thorough, to ensure that WE were acceptable for HER! This was very pleasing to see--that the organization cared so much to ensure the safety and well-being of their animals. The facility is immaculate, state-of-the-art, and spacious. Anyway, three weeks later, after I saw that Cookie's brother still had yet to be adopted, I went back to Peggy Adams and brought home her brother Buddy. Now our family is complete!
My fiance and I visited Peggy Adam's on a whim shortly after loosing our 10 year old pit bull to cancer. I personally wasn't ready to adopt a new family member yet, but then we came across Spanky, a 1 year old Chihuahua mix with a personality 100 times bigger than his 10 lb stature. He came home with us the next day.
Peggy Adam's is by far one of the best animal rescues I have visited. The facility is beautiful and the staff was all friendly. Everyone was so happy and excited that Spanky found a new home. It isn't very often you find people who are so passionate about what they do anymore, it was a breath of fresh air.
The facility was very clean and well kept. The kitties had plenty of toys and food and water. The staff were not only very helpful and nice, but very patient with us while we tried to choose 2 cats with our 2 children. The process was made easy and affordable. I would highly recommend Peggy Adams to anyone...
We had one rescue dog named Bella (Jack Russell) and two rescue cats (Mia & Moostacheo) and decided that Bella needed a playmate. We began our search at Peggy Adams and found a Jack Russell named Blitz who we immediately feel in love with, unfortunately he was already up for adoption. We decided to check on him anyways just in case the "owners to be" backed out. Upon meeting with Michelle, she told us that in fact the owners had not shown up and they had until noon the following day to pick up Blitz. Michelle then put an additional hold on Blitz for us and we went home and waited. Sure enough the next day at 12:01 Michelle called and told us we could come pick up Blitz. They had us bring Bella as well so she could meet Blitz and see how they interact. After their date went well we signed our docs paid some cash and took Blitz home. His new name is Rosco and he is the perfect addition to our family! I should also mention that Rosco is Heartworm positive and Peggy Adams is paying for his treatment which cost around $1,200.00!
Had 16 min Great Dane & found victor 14 mon Great Dane at your place . Wow what a great dog he's perfect & they love each other look like brothers. Your place was so clean & impressive . Telling everyone how great your place is . Thxs so much for victor
In 2009 the staff at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League helped my family when our 14 1/2 year old cat was sick. Everyone was caring, supportive, and Frankie died peacefully. In 2011, our other 14 1/2 year old cat was sick. Once again, the staff at Peggy Adams was there to help our family through Angie's loss. About a month ago, my husband and 4 year old daughter came with me to find new family members. We spent much of the afternoon finding 2 kittens to complete our household. We met many cats and kitties who were very well cared for. Once again, we felt supported by the caring staff who made sure Tommy was healthy enough to come home with us and that Misha could handle living with a preschooler. As our kittens settled comfortably into their new home, Peggy Adams staff checked in on their progress. We are grateful for this wonderful place that cares for animals and the people who love them.
Less than a month ago, I lost my dog of 15 years. My son took me to Peggy Adams and I thoght that it was too early for me to be there. He was right and I was wrong. My son had seen a 7 month old female dog who was small which was the reason we came to Peggy Adams. I have always had big dogs prior to this and needed guidance.
When we met the adoption specalist, she explained why the dog my son saw might not be a good match. After the informaton she gave us, my son and I agreed with her. She then told us about a dog who she wanted us to meet. He was also a small dog and they estimated that he was at least 5 years old. We agreed to meet him first before discussing or meeting any other dogs.
I am a 66 year old female who lives alone and needs to use an electric wheelchair and other adaptive equipment each day. They called the dog Cheech and by trying many names over the next few days, I found out that he responses best to the name Jake. Yes, he walked into the room and straight into my heart.
We have been together for 3 weeks but you would guess it was much longer than that after seeing us together. The specialist was right even more than she thought. From the moment I took him up the ramp into my house, Jake has been Mr. Calm. He must have been around someone in an electric wheelchair, ramp and other adaptive equipment. He knows how he had to go down the ramp one way and go up it in a completely different way. Jake knows how close he can be to me when he is on the side of the wheelchair but how far away he has to be from it if I need to back up. I did not teach him this....he knew it from the moment he walked into his new home.
Thank you to Peggy Adams and their caring, knowlegeable staff! Jake and I will grow older happily together!
we searched for a DOG AT Peggy Adams FOR A YEAR....
WE FINALLY FOUND THE RIGHT THE DOG, WELL WE GUESS SHE FOUND US. WE WANTED A MEDIUM SIZED DOG AROUND 2 years old we ended up with a puppy who we named Ruby
thanks Lee
WOW!!!! SO very impressed! We had always heard such tremendous things about The Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. My background, I am 42 and have ALWAYS worked with animals in some capacity, including working in a pet store, vets office volunteering at shelters and my internship in college was the SPCA in Polk County. Sadly, last month our beloved 18 1/2 year old cat died, we were beyond devastated. Soon after we were ready to get a new kitten/cat in our lives, we proceeded to call the Shelter near our home in Boca Raton, and were shocked and sad when they were not even open on a Sunday. ( I did not realize pets didn't need to be placed in a new home on a Sunday... ; ) So we decided to call Peggy Adams ( who our neighbors used to find their new kittens after their loss and were over the moon pleased). Voila, they were indeed open and we rushed over. We were greeted by a beautiful clean facility, ( I personally know just how hard of a feat this is to maintain) the staff was SO gracious, warm, friendly and helpful. We took a look around and the staff allowed us to meet some new felines, we fell in love with two, and one even had an eye condition. The staff was completely honest and forthright with the info that they had on our new kitten. The cats were already spayed, wormed and current on vacinations as well as micro chipped. We are SO very grateful for such a positive experience and will happily and have recomend Peggy adams ( one already got their dog there 2 weeks ago : ) May you continue to do such an OUTSTANDING job, from your cleanliness, to the great staff, the beautiful pets, the follow up and the love all around. Thank you and blessings from Team Walsh.
A friend of mine suggested Peggy Adams when our sweet Cat Lucy died and I wanted her cremated. My husband and I were devastated over the lost of Lucy but if there were anyway to make these times easier Peggy Adams helped us through it.
After 3 weeks I was not doing well without Lucy and decided to stop at our veterinarian which is right up the street from where we live which I past twice a day to and from work. Finally one day my car just steered itself in. I wanted to see if this beautiful black cat was still there waiting to be adopted and low & behold there she was.
"Jazzy" had been at the Vet's since November of 2012 and no one would adopt her. When I heard the story of Jazzy I could not say NO and adopted her immediately.
Jazzy had been in her cage in the waiting room for almost 2 years and was use to a very busy office and a lot of noise and both my husband and I work so I felt she was lonely and needed a friend. Now mind you, I had no intensions of adopted another animal!
After about 2 weeks with "Jazzy" I felt we had no choice but to get her a brother or sister.
Soooooooo I called my husband at work and asked him to come home early so we could go to "Peggy Adams" and check out a playmate for Jazzy. When we got to Peggy Adams everyone was so kind, sweet and extremely knowledgeable which was so amazing to me for all the cats that were available! My husband picked out the cutest faced kitten and off we went in one of the glassed in rooms to spend time with "Bailey". There were adult cats roaming freely which I thought was wonderful and "Bailey" just kept close to my husband and stayed as far away from the adult cats as possible. One of the women came in and checked on us occasionally and I asked her if she had a black kitten that we could also visit with and she came back with a feisty little guy named "Woddy". After another half hour of spending time with both "Bailey" & "Woody" the same women came back and said "I am sorry but we are starting to close so you will only have another half hour, however you can come back tomorrow and spend as much time as you would like in order to make your decision". I said "no" we will be taking one of these kittens home with us before we leave here. So my husband went and filled out the paperwork not knowing which kitten we would be taking and on his and our wonderful helper's return, "Bailey" was sound asleep on my shoulder with her face was up against mine and "Woddy" was sound asleep on my stomach. The women walked in first and said "OH OH!" It was so cute! Then my husband came in and the look on his face was "Oh My GOD who am I going to send back to the cat condo and who is going to be coming home with us?" It was obvious to me that the only answer was going to be "we will take them both." Which we did! "Jazzy, "Bailey" and "BIG" (formerly "Woddy") were meant to be with each other form birth. They have all given my husband and I a complete heart that was broken from the loss of our "Lucy".
Peggy Adams was a clean, friendly and healthy atmosphere and if I could adopt more I would from "Peggy Adams". Our new kittens came with all the details needed to continue there healthy lives and reminders of when exam's and shots etc. are due. They were both neutered & spade and micro chipped as well. Such an organized operation. Very Impressive!
Thank you so much to that kind women who was so patient with us and I feel horrible I do not remember your name.
I encourage everyone to visit Peggy Adams and donate your time and or money for such a wonderful facility.

I already had two dogs but I wanted a third dog that was bigger. Peggy adams helped me pick the perfect one! At first I picked a different one but when I brought mine for a compatibility meeting we saw that it wasn't going to work out. But the second one was beyond perfect and now we are all really happy.
We had a great experiance adopting our baby Athena from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. She's a great addition to our family & we would recommend the adoption facilitie to anyone. Our son has found his new best friend! We had the opportunity to spend time with numerous animals before deciding on our new kitten. The staff was very nice & helpful!
In July we adopted our 3rd cat from Peggy Adams, and we and the cats couldn't be happier! They take such good care of all of the animals there, so we know we are always getting a quality pet. They provide lots of information about each animal's background and health, and they take the time to really talk with you to get to know you and to help you get to know the animal(s) you're interested in. They also provide information about each one's personality and whether or not the animal is good with other animals. That was one of the most helpful facts for us since we have a multi-cat home; we didn't want to bring home a kitty who wouldn't get along with the other two. We now have 3 beautiful, wonderful, awesome cats (sons), all of whom we love VERY much. To anyone who is considering getting a pet, PLEASE go to Peggy Adams. You can even "preview" each animal on-line before you go there. We did that all 3 times, and (again) that really helped us decide which cat we wanted. (It's almost like on-line dating! lol) I've been to other "shelters" but many of them are not as big, clean, or well-run like Peggy Adams is. Their new facilities are fantastic! I honestly wish I had lots of money so I could (1) donate money to them and (2) volunteer there. Adopt, don't shop!
I adopted a little Chihuahua named Blue from Peggy Adams Rescue. The staff was so kind and very helpful to me. They took the time to tell me about Blue's personality and how to work with him. The new facilities are beautiful. I was very impressed by how large, clean and comfortable the housing for the animals is. A big THANK YOU to everyone at Peggy Adams for the wonderful work you do.
I went for the first time on 8/10/2013 in which I adopted that same day!! Everyone was so very helpful
and effecient. I was amazed that i could bring my own dog to check compatability with dog I was interested in adopting. I am very pleased with my dog Asia and she is a delight and so very sweet!!
I am very happy needless to say that I walked in that day to just look around. Kudos to them and all they do!!!! Diana B.
After 19 years we had to put our cat Fudge to sleep. He was a big part of the family and it was hard. After some time we decided to look for another cat to help fill the void. We went to Peggy Adams and there were so many cats there. We probably were there for at least four hours and we fell in love with so many of the cats. We finally decided on one and with the help of Linda Weissman we were able to find the new addition to our home
I had to put my 16 year old cat Capone to sleep March 8, 2013 I had him since he was 5 months old. My 30 year old son came with me We were both traumatized I have had to put several of my beloved animals to sleep. I will say that Peggy Adams made this a comforting time for my son and myself We both cried like babies
When i picked up Capone's ashes they were wrapped in a lovely wood box and a blue velvet bag I cry when I walk by his ashes and touch it. He is with several other animals on my memorial table.
If you want a quiet, calm experience this is the place to go
I've always used Peggy Adams to have my pets spayed/neutered. Last year I became involved in the TNR program with the help of a trapper friend. We've been able to have almost every stray feral in the area neutered and released.. Earlier this year I fostered a litter of 5 kittens born to a feral mother. After they were 8 wks old, Peggy Adams was kind enough to accept them into their kitten adoption program. After surrending them, I decided I wanted to adopt two. Peggy's kept them for one more week for health checks, shots, neutering.. When I picked them up, they were in beautiful healthy condition.. I'm not a wealthy woman but I do donate to Peggy Adams when I can because I feel they're the most awesome no-kill Animal Rescue in Palm Beach County, maybe the State of Florida. Their always making improvements & have high standards.. Check out their new kitten adoption enclosure; it's fabulous...
We adopted Daisy over two years ago. She is such a wonderful dog. Now we take our dogs to Peggy Adams for shots and heartworm/flea meds. Everyone there is so helpful. You don't even need an appointment. My dogs like going there because they know I will buy them a treat in the store. We have also gone to training. It was a lot of fun for us and our dogs.
In 2002 I adopted a cocker spaniel named Esperanza from Peggy Adams. She was a wonderful dog. 10 years later when it was time for her to go, we returned to Peggy Adams where she was euthanised. She came full circle and the staff and volunteers at Peggy Adams were so wonderful, both in the joyful time of her adoption, and the heart wrenching time of her leaving. I am very grateful to this organization.
Last month we adopted a 4 month old black lab from Peggy Adams Rescue in West Palm Beach. What a great facility and organization. They truly care for the animals and perspective new owners. I was impressed with their interview process and the caution they take to ensure their dogs and cats go to the right home and to be cared for properly. They were thorough and provided affordable adoption and med prices. I would most definately recommend someone looking for their 'forever' addition to their family to visit them.
June 1, 2013
A friend wanted to adopt a kitty named Bella. Today was the day Bella could go to her forever home. We were greeted by very friendly and caring people. In addition, the entire process of adopting the kitty was very easy and informative. The entire team at Peggy Adams were just terrific!! I would recommend anyone interested in adopting a kitty or dog to go to Peggy Adams. The entire team is just terrific!
Thank You!!

On May 19, 2013 I went to the Peggy Adam's Rescue Center in hopes of adding a new kitty to my household. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by an elderly man who asked if he could assist and he directed me to where the kitties are housed. My family and I wandered around the kitten room and the older kitty room and tried to spend time with as many kitties as we could. We were also greeted by one of the adoption coordinators, Linda, who basically told us to take our time and not rush because choosing a pet is a big decision and you want to make sure the one you choose, or in my case the one that chooses you, is the right one. Rob, or as we've since renamed him Nero, was in a kennel with some kitties with an upper respiratory infection. I opened their kennel and gave every kitten in there a nice head scratch and Nero immediately sprung up out of the bed and literally leaped out of the kennel into my arms and ran his little motor non-stop. That was it, I was in love, I knew he was the one. What is even more special is he's almost an entirely little black baby boy minus a small tuft of white on his chest and his belly. Black kitties sadly are one of the last ones adopted and usually the first to be euthanize when they're in a high-kill environment. Thankfully Peggy Adam's is a no-kill rescue but even still Nero was not a statistic, he was adopted, and he's beautiful and loved like we've had him for years. He's so playful but when its time to settle down for bed or its cuddle time he certainly can curb his enthusiasm and snuggle up cuddle bug. We have certainly loved having him as a part of our family and we are also very happy with the help we received at the rescue.
Oh and also being that Nero was sick, they had given me medication for him and instructions on how to dose it out for him. Following their specific instructions within 8 days he was healthy again. No more sneezies and mucky eyes. When I did have concerns about dosage I had no problems with their on staff vet getting back to me to answer my questions.
We adopted our kitty last month and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. Their facilities are top notch and all the volunteers were on top of their game. When the time comes to adopt another animal this is definitely my first stop, they made the who,e experience wonderful.
I was very impressed with my whole experience at Peggy Adams. Best of all, I went home with Alphonse, now answering to Alphie! This loveable kitty had been neutered, micro-chipped, was vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP and dewormed at Peggy Adams. All I had to do was take him home and start loving him. I highly recommend Peggy Adams if you're looking to adopt a dog or cat. The animals deserve homes and Peggy Adams deserves our support for making it happen.
We adopted our dog about 7 weeks ago and are just over the moon in love with her. The experience was wonderful. The staff was kind, helpful, happy and thrilled to find good homes for their animals. We got alot of good history on our dog to help us. The follow up with the shelter was wonderful when we had questions. I would definitely recommend them and definitely adopt again.
We just recently adopted our third cat from Peggy Adams. We have always had a pleasant and enjoyable time there. It is obvious that the people who are there, be they paid workers or volunteers, enjoy what they do. There is an obvious love for the animals.
I adopted my dog from them and couldn't be happier. They have some of the cleanest kennels I've ever seen. The whole facility is spotless. It was a great experience!
I adopted my dog about two years ago her name is Gigi and she's a rat terroir she was one at the time before my mommy got me Gigi I was a mess I couldn't go to sleep I was never really happy the day Gigi came home with us she changed my whole night she would sit at the side of my bed and cry to sleep with me so I would pick her up and I picked her up and put her in my bed from that night on she has slept with me in my bed I go to sleep at night and I wake up so happy she changed my whole life I laugh more I play more all because of my new baby Gigi . Thank you Peggy Adams for making it so easy to adopt my best friend .
I still remember the day I adopted Sampson, a 4 year old black lab. He was very protective of his kennel in the back of the facility. He was all teeth and barking loudly. Somehow, it didn't bother me. I found one other dog that I was interested in, a German Shepard. I asked the staff if I could meet the two dogs. Sampson, took to me as soon as we got to the courtyard. All that barking and snarling was a show. He quickly found a tennis ball for me to throw for him. I liked both dogs, and asked the staff member which dog would likely be adopted first, and she said the German Shepard. That sealed it, I took Sampson, the lab. The staff were openly pleased that Sampson had found a home. Even the customers in the lobby noted how happy he looked. Sampson is close to nine years old now and doing well. Thank you PAARL for saving a great dog that has given so much joy to my family!
I saw Yoshie (Cow Cow) at Peggie Adams in Seotember 2012 and fell in love with him.
Jan - who helped me with the adoption - was so supporting and made sure that
everything was taking care of.
Yoshie is what Peggy Adams told me: adorable, sweet and my best friend.
I adopted Zsa Zsa a Maltese/Min Poodle. I fell in love with her just by picture. When I met her she was Hugs and Kisses and such a story to tell me. Considering her Family just lost their home she then lost her home... so sad :( Another person adopted Zsa Zsa and brought her back within a couple hours saying she was) afraid the dog was gonna die on her.

Does anything to please me / and Im suppose to Babying her. ! The lady who adopted her and returned her did the right thing. Zsa Zsa needed a Loving unconditional home. A home that sees her for the BRIGHT VERY VIBRANT Dog SHE IS !!!! She may have cancer... but ya'd never know it if ya saw her interact with my cats and my husband and I .

If your looking for a healthy adoptee Peggy Adams Is the BEST ! We adopted from the local animal pound 2 kitties that landed up being God awfull ill. Thank God we have an awesome vet. Thanks to Peggy Adams Staff I have a forever Girlfriend !!!
Great staff. I've been to Peggy Adams several times to pick up items in the small pet supply store. Staff is always tending to the animals in some way: playing,holding or just soothing.
I adopted 3 cats: 2 kittens (8 mo.) 1 cat (6 yr.) All were healthy and well adjusted. The kittens were timid and took some time but are very loving. Rosie and Sparky are "the bestest kitties in the whole world" and Auntie Cleo,the 6 yr old, is very tolerant of their antics.
I encourage anyone who loves animals to support Peggy Adams!! I was a donor before I was a client, so I was very happy to see my monies being well spent.
When I first saw "Maggie" she was so very quiet, and withdrawn. She had been found wandering the streets, and did not seem to be accustomed to a real home and love. Peggy Adams took her in, and cared for her until I saw her....it was instant love at first sight. We set up a meeting with my other dog the same day, and they hit it off great! It took less than a week of her being here with us at her "permanent home" to really blossum. She is so full of love and fun, we cannot thank Peggy Adams enough for helping us to find our forever friend. They had told me at first that she did not play very much with toys or other dogs.....you should see her now....what a fun lively beautiful little girl she is. If she cannot "entice" any of the other dogs to play....and boy oh boy she tries...she gets a toy and throws it in the air and plays all by her self...of course stopping now and then to make sure we are watching! What a character! She is a wonderful, healthy, beautiful little gal that we are so thankful to have with us. Thank you Peggy Adams, keep up the good work!
CAUTION!!! BEWARE!!! PEGGY ADAMS KILLS DEFENSLESS PETS I stupidly brought in a sweet little kitten that was homeless it showed no signs of agression whatsoever but it was scared even so it did not attempt to bite or scratch me it trusted me and I stupidly trusted Peggy Adams when I called back a week or so later to inquire how it was doing they told me it had been destroyed can you imagine how I felt they said it had behaveour problems IT WAS A KITTEN what and how do these people think! they say they are a humane non kill fascility that do not euthanize unless of agreesion or desease they are LYERS I urge you to be careful of these so called do gooders unless you wish to adopt a pet stay away they are NO DAM GOOD!
adopted Lucas in September and am so thankful for all of the help I received from the staff at Peggy Adams. Linda, the adoption specialist was especially supportive and patient with me and addressed all of my questions regarding Lucas and adoption. I love Lucas and can't thank Peggy Adams enough for all they did for Lucas and what they do for all of the other dogs and cats there. The staff and volunteers are devoted, love animals, knowledgeable, and are passionate about what they do. The facility is clean and the animals are well cared for. It is a wonderful organization that does a lot for animals. :) I highly recommend adopting from Peggy Adams and supporting their cause.
The staff was helpful and listened. By asking all the right questions together we found the perfect new addition to our home. I encourage anyone who is thinking of pet adoption go to Peggy Adams. You will be very glad you did.
We adopted our dog Bowser from Peggy Adams in December 2012. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The shelter was clean and we were confident the animals were taken care of. They offer free obedience training which was helpful and their behaviorist is very willing to help out new furparents! We plan on getting our next dog from Peggy in the future!
I adopted a great dog a Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League in West Palm Beach. What a great place to adopt a dog. The staff was great, and the place is clean. There a true animals lovers working there, who care. I would highly recommend this place if you want to adopt. My son is thrilled with Dani. Karen Smilen
What a marvelous experience it has been getting acquainted with The Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. We went in to adopt one dog our Woody and came home with 2 cats as well. LILY AN ALL BLACK 18 MONTH OLD CAT has quite the personality. Then Chloe our 10.5 year old black and white cat. Please if you are looking for a pet consider rescue FIRST!!!!! Peggy Adams was clean and staff well trained and friendly.
We adopted Simone from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League in May. We were impressed by the staff and cleanliness of the facility. There were so many sweet dogs and cats that needed homes; you could tell the staff cared about all of them. We spent most of the day visiting with all the cats. When we decided to adopt Simone we met with the counselors who wanted to ensure she was going to a safe home. They also provided us with all the information about Simone and her medical history. Simone was a four year old cat that had a sad life. As we took Simone towards the door to take her home one young staff woman teared up and said she was so happy that Simone had found a home. We had an excellent experience with Peggy Adams and would highly recommend them to our friends and family.
Our experience with adopting our dog at Peggy Adams was amazing. They were thorough in their interview with us and gave us all the support we could need. I'm amazed at the genuine happiness the volunteers showed when we picked our dog. They gave us as much information as they had on her and followed up consistently to see how she was doing. They were also very helpful with the medication she needed and what to expect with her personality and breed. Would definitely adopt there again. You can tell they work hard to find the right fit for animals.
After reviewing several shelters for an adoptive dog, our search stopped at Peggy Adams! First the area's for the animals was clean well cared for and almost without odor. The facility had more then enough staff walking and exercising the animal not to mention the building inside and out looked as it has been very well cared for.
The staff member who helped us with the adoption was Lori Baltunis. She knew all about our "Quincy"! She did all the paper work and helped us with any question. In short order we were on our way home with our new baby. In short Quincy was a great animal from the start. House broken and has never missed. He is affectionate lovable, and a great addition to our family. There were no surprises as Lori was right on the mark with all Quincy's needs and expectations.
We have been, so happy we made an additional visit back to make a special donation to Peggy Adams, to continue the great work on behalf of all needy animals. I couldn't speak any higher to the dedication and support given by the staff and wonderful shelter.
The Peggy Adams Rescue League has promoted so many beneficial programs for the well being of animals. They make it possible for so many animals to be saved and adopted into loving homes. Their facilities are top notch, extremely clean and their staff is exemplary. I am honored to work with them.
People treated with respect and dignity. Animals treated with kindness and compassion. Knowledgeable professionals and volunteers. This place has a lot of heart and enough smarts to back it up wisely. I just can't say enough wonderful things about Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.
The Peggy Adams facility has made it possible for hundreds of feral cats to be spayed and neutered since their new facility opened. Their dedication to our efforts to reduce the population of homeless cats in Palm Beach County is admirable. We cannot thank them enough for all they do!!!

My husband and I found our Lola, a Black Lab/Beagle Mix at Peggy Adams. We had come to Peggy Adams after our first dog died to find a new household member. We looked at several of the available dogs but could not make up our mind. Our adoption counselor suggested we visit with Lola---the counselor was a match maker!! Lola was a wonderful companion and we treasured having her in our lives. Sadly, we lost Lola to kidney disease in April 2011 and once again the caring staff helped us say good-bye. A few weeks later our lonely home was filled with another Peggy Adams adoptee--this time it was a beagle/jack russell mix romping throughout our household!
I thought about the moment many times in my Labrador "Dakota's "life....that one day may come to have to make a decision regarding his life . Ofcourse, this always brought tears to my eyes at just the thought, and then that one day arrived. I was lost!! The staff at Peggy Adams was there to help walk me through this process and guide me as to what to do and what to expect in euthanizing the most amazing friend and animal I have ever known. They treated him with such extraordinary compassion and care so he was to be as comfortable as he could be. What was so special is they did the same for me and understood what I was going through and as they do this day in and day out, I was the most important client/friend/animal owner/griever at that moment. As horrible of a day that was I could not ask for a better experience as I wished my pal well as he went off to the Rainbow Bridge . A few months have passed and we brought another new furry friend into the family in which once again I would call on the services at Peggy Adams to now Spay my new puppy. Their services were again, as I trusted them with a new little life, impectable!! It is nice to know that as they see so many animals everyday that they still have so much love for all these pets and no one ever becomes a "number".
When I moved to North Palm Beach, I wanted to find out more about this shelter. I went on a tour and was blown away. The facility is truly state of the art and very different from the shelters I knew in other parts of the country. The animals are cared for extremely well. The kennel is so clean that you could eat off the floor. I'm proud to support Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League and will be including them in my will.
I've adopted 2 dogs from Peggy Adams and both have and continue to bring so much joy to my life. The staff at Peggy Adams are so knowledgeable and caring. They take pride in the work that they do and it shows. Since I've adopted, I also bring them back for vaccinations. With their affordable prices and educated staff, I highly encourage others to bring their pets, too! It's also nice to see how they help the community with their TNR programs and Community Outreach. They plan so many wonderful events such as their annual Walk for the Animals & Photos with Santa. I look forward to going to these yearly! Thank you staff of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League for all you do!
I am the reporter for the local Fox station in West Palm Beach who has the honor of profiling the Fox 29 Pet of the Week. It's always a wonderful day when I get to enter Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League's doors and see how well they are sheltering and caring for dogs and cats in need of good homes. The building is always in tip-top shape, the animals are loved on, and the employees are more than kind. Peggy Adams also does wonderful events throughout the year to bring pet lovers together and raise funds for our orphaned animals. But more than anything, I'm forever indebted to them for bringing me together with my little dog, Willie. He's the star of my life. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of him before he became mine. I'm proud to be called a rescue mom! Sincerely, Rachel Leigh, Fox 29
Peggy Adams is great. They are such an amazing shelter and amazing part of the community. I love going to their events they put on (and bring my dogs) - especially their annual walk for the animals. Thank you for all that you do. :)
Peggy Adams is a wonderful part of the community. I have fostered 4-5 dogs from Peggy Adams - 2 became permant members of our house. Neither would have made it out of another shelter since they needed heartworm treatment. They also have a wonderful program for feral cats - offering to fix them and provide shots for $35. There is a low cost spay and neuter program for pets as well.
I had lost my Sharpei who I had in my life for 15 years/ I went to the website and saw a Bulldog for adoption/ The next day I went to Peggy Adams and became the dad to Dozer. Just a couple of months later I found that the people who surrended Dozer had deceived the staff by not telling them of a condition he had. Unfortunately Dozer had to be put down breaking my heart but the Staff allowed me to be with him so the last thing he heard was my voice telling him I loved him.. Heartbroken I did not think I would ever allow another dog in my life but the Adoption Staff especially Lori knew better and she called me to tell me of a loving female english bulldog named Adrianne.I went up to Peggy Adams thinking I would look at her and go home. I waited outside for Lori to bring Adrianne out. The next thing I knew I had a lap full of Love kissing my face all over. Long Story short Adrianne and I will mark two love filled years this coming February. People a Shelter Dog is the best dog because they really appreciate their forever home and will give you more love than you could ever give them back
Wonderful place! We adopted our beautiful cat Simba, several years ago and she is the light of our lives. We were given very helpful advice and the people there were friendly and very excited to see Simba go to a good home. Without Peggy Adams, we would not have this amazing girl in our lives, so I thank you for allowing us to adopt her.
