I love this place with all my heart not only did I volunteer here for a few years but I fostered a dog from here. The people who work here are super kind and know what they are doing and have a genuine care for the dogs there the place itself is clean and organized. This is the place I recommend to anyone asking me about any shelters.
Y’all!!!! I love this rescue for so many reasons. They help so many dogs in need but my favorite reason is they also help the owners!!! Sadly with the rising cost of that care not every owner can afford to help their dog. The goal of a good rescue should be to have a great home for the dog. In my opinion a great home equals great love even when you have to suck up your pride to ask for help. Royal helps those that need help. It keeps families together. That’s rescue!!!!
I've been lucky enough to witness Royal Animal Refuge grow from day one of them opening their doors in 2017. I've been a part of and impressed with just about every aspect of this organization. I've adopted the sweetest pup who would have never stood a chance without them. I've fostered several medical, behavioral and special needs pups who were looked the other way from other organizations. I've worked with staff and witnessed how hard they work and how much they dearly love the dogs who come into the rescue. I've assisted with community assistance cases where pups were spayed and neutered, emergency medical cases covered and reunited with their families and more. To be a part of Royal Animal Refuge means that you are a part of an organization that is constantly growing, evolving and saving dogs who would have never had a chance otherwise. If you are looking for a truly life saving organization to support, you've come to the right place!
Royal Animal Refuge has saved so many dogs. They don’t discriminate…mamas with litters of puppies, litters with no mama, young dogs, old dogs, healthy dogs and sick dogs. They don’t care what it cost if they can save the dog they are going all in. I have fostered for Royal and they are always so easy to work with. They truly care about the welfare of the animals. I have adopted from Royal and my daughter has as well. It was a very easy process. Great rescue!
Royal Refuge is an amazing organization. They are angels in disguise rescuing dogs from terrible situations and providing what they need the most….LOVE.
Royal Animal is a wonderful organization. They save lives & create happy endings! I will forever be grateful for beautiful souls they have brought into my life.
Have fostered and adopted through them. Good staff and facility. These folks take a lot of dogs that the local animal control would probably end up euthanizing. Keep up the good work.
I love Royal Animal Refuge. I adopted a dog from them and now I have become a foster. Great organization!
Great organization who has done so much for the pups in need not only in their immediate community but the surrounding areas as well. They take a ton of medical cases and pull dogs that a lot of rescues will not pull. Also, they do everything they can to assist in helping pet owners keep their animals in the home. Keep up the great work Royal!!!
Our fur kids came from Royal Animal Refuge, we’ve followed them on Facebook, finding the sweetest dogs to be part of our family. They do such a wonderful job of saving the innocent and finding homes for them. We highly recommend them to everyone we know, and try to spread the word about them.
As a dedicated volunteer at Royal Animal Refuge, I can confidently vouch for the immense positive impact this organization has on the community. It's heartening to witness their relentless commitment to providing a safe haven for abandoned dogs, giving them a second chance at life. This organization doesn't just rescue; it rebuilds, nurtures, and ensures that these innocent beings find loving homes. For anyone looking to make a difference, volunteering here is a rewarding experience. Kudos to RAR for their outstanding work!
Our daughter knew a volunteer who assisted Royal Animal Refuge and we contacted her about a beautiful girl in their rescue after the loss of our precious Maci. At the time she was in the refuge her name was Esther and she was considered a "long-timer", almost a year with them. They allowed us to come meet her and play with her a couple of times and then let her stay with them until our house we were building was finished and we could bring her home (photo #3). When we went to pick her up, the staff was there with cameras and toys to send her off (many of which she still sleeps with) and now this precious girl has a big doggie brother, Weezy, to spend her days with a we can't imagine a life without our sweet Audrey Mae (new name). We love Royal Animal Refuge and the community they have built to keep in touch with all past rescues. It is a wonderful organization and are very fortunate to have been introduced to this group of people.
RAR is a wonderful rescue helping puppies, dogs and even some cats/kittens to find their best home. With great fosters and community support the refuge makes a difference in the lives of needy animals finding them forever homes where they are loved and appreciated.
I started volunteering at the refuge. Washing ,drying towels and sheets. Advanced to cleaning up poop. Fell in love with the "Henry" an American bull dog mix and adopted. Then I was introduced to puppies without mothers. Brought home 4 different sets. They are the most loving place for our homeless pets. They care, they work hard, and still foster. God gave us Royal for a reason.
This group gave me the most wonderful pet! I can never be grateful enough and when it turned out he was heart-worm positive, they treated him for me! People who loved him at the shelter stay in contact with me for love of him. They have partnered with the library where I work to spread the news about their pups and the benefits of rescue and adoption.
Royal Animal Refuge, Inc is a great nonprofit! They stepped up quickly to fill a need in our community when we were lacking a no kill shelter. This is an amazing organization run by dedicated employees and volunteers. They are a huge benefit to our community and the animals they rescue!
A lot of friends referred me to RAR. I was more than pleased on how great they were. This is my first time getting a rescue. They were kind, helped me choose a great dog and made sure that I was going to also treat the dog very well. The dogs were up to date on shots and healthy. I will definitely go through them again to get more dogs.
Royal Animal Refuge has a team of dedicated staff and volunteers providing miracle rescues to animals in desperate need. I am happy to provide support with donations and volunteer work and recommend RAR to those who wish to get involved through donations, volunteering or fostering animals in need of forever homes
As a Commissioner on the Fayette County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), we were having severe issues with overcrowding in our county Animal Shelter.
Euthanizations were up and we could not find enough residents to become pet owners. There was also a shortage of dog and cat foster homes. We needed a viable long-term solution.
Our prayers were answered when Royal Animal Refuge came on the scene. They have been an exceptional community partner.
Not only was the county shelter able to off-load the over-crowding, but Royal Animal Refuge also took excellent care of the dogs in their care.
Volunteers at the non-profit give the dogs loving attention and work to make them into adoptable pets for local families.
It is truly been a privilege to work with Royal Animal Refuge and we are indebted to them for their service to our community.
I adopted my first dog through Royal 3 years ago. They quickly became more like family than a local rescue. I met so many lovely people through their rescue and they continued to keep in touch with me and my dog. Not long after I became a foster failure to a wonderful bunny rabbit. Sadly in January, my dog Monty passed away from an aggressive and rare form of cancer. Royal was there for me every step of the way. They helped me spread the word to raise money to get him treatment. When there was nothing else to be done, they were there for me through his loss. They sent me a beautiful memorial plaque with a photo of Monty. Then when I was ready, they helped me be matched with a puppy who has become my best friend. They even waived the adoption fee in Monty’s honor. The volunteers of this incredible rescue have become like family to me and my animals. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without them and their influence in my life. They are truly heroes ❤️
Royal Animal Refuge is an amazing dog rescue organization. Their dedication and commitment to unwanted, abused and neglected dogs is remarkable. I have observed dogs being rescued from hi-kill shelters, owner surrenders and puppers left in a Home Depot parking lot. After adopting from RAR and following them on Facebook, I began volunteering in my free time. I have personally witnessed the love, care and compassion the entire RAR Team shows these dogs.
The best thing for me to see is when one of these fur-babies finds their forever home and gets to live the life they've always deserved. They get that opportunity thanks to the wonderful work Royal Animal Refuge does every single day! ❤
I have both adopted from and volunteered with Royal Animal Refuge for the last 4 year’s. Such a wonderful organization to be part of. So proud of how hard everyone work’s together as a team with a common goal of making animal lives better.
I have four rescue dogs from Royal and foster puppies for them. The staff is dedicated to the dogs, fosters and adopters. I can’t really describe how much this refuge means to me and my family. They are always putting themselves out there to save and protect a dog. I would recommend this refuge to anyone who is looking for a dog, puppy, small, medium or large. Love the work they put into making a dogs life what it should be - Wag Tail Happy
This nonprofit stays true to its mission and works hard every day to save deserving dogs of every shape, size and type.
The Royal Animal Refuge works so very hard everyday to make sure the animals in their care are taken care of, no matter how much work or what the cost. Since August of 2017 over 4000 dogs have been adopted. Endless hours of volunteer work, love and attention have created a community of hope, love and common purpose. So grateful to be part of this amazing team.
