Although I love Tri State for all the tireless work they do to rescue hounds and care for them. There seems to be a new change in either staff or attitude. I have adopted three dogs from tri-state since 1985 and have loved the dogs and they all live to an old age. I recently put in a requestFor another dog, sent photos of the house in the yard and once approved by someone who was very sweet. However someone compromised my account and inquired about another hound yesterday. I received a very sarcastic email That started out mmmm thought you said you had no animals The conversation went downhill from there basically accusing me of lying on an application if you’re trying to get dogs in to good homes maybe the staff should be a little nicer and not accuse someone of lying on an application and being so sarcastic. Other friends of mine have adopted him from there in the past And said people are not the same now as they were very sarcastic. Spoke to my girlfriend yesterday she adopted three dogs from there and said she has had problems with this person also knew exactly who I was talking about. I will continue to support the events only for the sake of the dogs but I seriously doubt I would ever adopt or recommend tri State auto one again if that’s how they treat people
This non-profit organization denied my adoption because 2 of my 3 dogs are not neutralizedoing, one is too old to do it and the other is just a baby, if I adopt a dog they come neutralized already, I own a house, is fenced, economically stable, and we love dogs, I believe they just denied my adoption because my ethnicity took almost a month to them to say no because some of my dogs are not neutralized. They suck, but I feel so sorry for those dogs that depend on this not too smart people. Don't waste your time with this guys. Their hearts are not to help those poor dogs
This nonprofit organization bids on people to "open up their hearts and homes" which my spouse and I decided to do after being owners of pedigrees for years. We decided it was time to give back to those dogs in need. So we seeked out a basset hound rescue, little did we know what we were in for next. Being loving dog parents already we had our hearts set to help and didn't see anything standing in our way of that. We are financially stable, own a home, have an emergency contact near by, we don't board our dogs when we go on vacation and they go everywhere with us. We buy the healthiest dog food we can, same for treats. Our dogs are well behaved and highly trained. During our interview process we were asked if our dogs were spayed and we were honest and said no. This organization denied us due to this, they decided to give up on a home that could've been great for another furbaby due to our personal preferences. This agency claims all dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption but still they denied us and it doesn't end at that. The adoption coordinator replies back to my email stating "If you truly understood how many dogs are being euthanized a day, you would not be part of a process of creating more dogs" so because my personal preference of the dogs currently in my house I was unable to adopt and help a dog in need (a dog who is spayed/neutered) due to this I don't not believe this nonprofit organization has the animals best interest involved.
Tri State basset rescued a beautiful little basset who was a victim of neglect. He spent months in a rural shelter while awaiting his court case. His previous owner was found guilty but that didnt change the fact that this poor dog had Heartworms a condition that if untreated would eventually kill him. Tri State Basset rescued him, treated him and found him a new home, one where he would be loved forever! Great Organization!!
