Saving Orphan Souls Rescue

This animal rescue is amazing. They save dogs from euthanasia, vet them, put them in foster care to assess temperament and then socialize them, and find them loving forever homes. I have fostered several dogs for them and have been incredibly touched and impressed to witness the extent to which this organization will go to make sure an animal that has been abandoned, neglected or abused, gets the life it deserves. Accolades to all who put in their time, money and hard work at Saving Orphan Souls Rescue, to save animals who would otherwise have been euthanized, simply due to overcrowding in shelters. Some of these sweet animals have been turned out by their irresponsible owners and whenever it can, Saving Orphan Souls steps up to the plates and rescues these innocents.

Caring animal lovers who do the right thing by these animals!

I hadn't adopted any animals from this rescue. However, I have been to multiple adoption events and all the volunteers look happy to be there, and the animals all look healthy. I have talked with many volunteers and they always are positive and upbeat. Bottom line SOS is a great rescue and we will be rescuing our next dog from them.

Such a great experience with this awesome rescue. You must see how happy the animals are in the foster home. The love and care they get is exceptional. Without Saving Orphan Souls we would not have found our darling Kitty Marco. Thanks again.

Most amazing rescue. We adopted our dog here 3 years ago and have recently started volunteering with them. They are fantastic people and have a lot of great animals that need a home. I would highly recommend checking this rescue out if you are looking to add a member to your family.

Thanks for an amazing experience.
Tony T & Family from Sierra Vista

Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. All animals looked Happy and Healthy. Operations ran very efficiently. Great first time experience adopting! Thank you

Hammer Family with Justice & Gracie from Pinetop

My husband and I are retired, and lost our sweet Billy at 18 years old. We were lonely, and wanted someone to take on walks and out to lunch with us. We came upon Saving Orphan Souls Rescue, and met Jaxson. What a cutie, and very outgoing. You could tell the rescue put a ton of time into him. Overall he is a great companion, and so very smart. We love him more than words. We cannot wait to get out of bed and take our morning walks, then come back and have coffee and him a dog treat.
Thank you for all you doing Saving Orphan Souls - Ro and her team.

Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Bedford & Jaxson living in Sun City West

I work from home, and wanted a companion to hang out with during the day. When I met Clariece, it was a done deal. This sweet girl hangs out in her cat tree looking at me and out the window while I work. She climbs down to get pets, and we have lunch together. After work, we sit on the couch and snuggle watching tv. She is my best friend, and I am so grateful for this group rescuing her. Thank you for Clariece.

J Homer & Clariece - Tramonto

Outstanding group of people. Animals are very well taken care of. I was totally impressed.

Love this rescue - it's all about the animals period. Great experience.

Exceeded expectations for a rescue here in Phoenix. Our fate in rescues was challenged with the ones we visited. We felt so sorry for the animals in their care. With Saving Orphan Souls Rescue, this was not the case. Totally socialized, happy fur kids running around the foster homes who were part of the family. You could tell how happy they were. We love our Charles Dickens, and go grateful that we were able to adopt him.

Thank you Saving Orphan Souls Rescue - you are the best.

Charles Dickens Dad - Charles III

Great Group - love their dedication to the animals. They spare no expense. Wonderful socialized animals ready to join any family.

Contact them if you are looking to adopt a fur baby.

Wonderful adoption process and experience. This group loves their animals, and makes 100% sure that both the animal and the adopters are the correct match. Thanks for taking the time to adopt our previous kitty Luna to us.

Chuck M - Sedona.

We searched and searched for the right family member, and after seeing Charles on an adoption site, we knew we had to meet him. Saving Orphan Souls made the process seamless, although it was very comprehensive. We were able to interact with him in the foster home for over 2 hours, and see how he got along with the other dogs and cats. Thank you for allowing us to adopt Charles. We absolutely love him.

Chad & Family

This group is more than passionate about the physical and mental care they give to their animals. No expense is ever left unturned. They go above and beyond to rehabilitate these animals, and find them forever home. Without this group, we would not have our Tyler who is one of the best dogs we have ever had. He is a hoot, and makes our day brighter on a daily basis. Love this group.

Thank you again - Marie & Larry Oso - Care Free

Love for animals, passionate about those who need extra love, fear dogs, mom's who are left in the shelters/on the streets after their babies were taken away. Sick, injured, this group takes the all, and makes them into brand new loving souls.

Thank you for helping me find my Clarita - she is the best dog ever, and her eyes tell me every day how happy she is to be safe and loved.

SOS is a great rescue!

My story is very long - so I will make it short. I lost my beloved Dexter to cancer, and I was not ready to be alone. My depression set in, and I knew that if I didn't get another rescue, things would only get harder. I looked and found my Bebe on Saving Orphan Souls rescue partner site. It was love at first sight. We are so bonded, and Bebe goes everywhere with me. She is my emotional support dog. I needed her, and she needed me. This organzation is beyond stellar, and to this day, stays in contact with us. Thank you Saving Orphan Souls for all you do!
Sue & Bebe.

Outstanding rescue - look no further if you are looking to adopt.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE from the time I reached out to this organization. We pre-adopted a cat, and had to wait the full 10 days before we were able to take her home. Why - because she had an upper respiratory infection, and the rescue insisted she stay with them until the meds were done, and she was cleared for final adoption. WOW - other recsues would have just pushed her out the door.

We love Saving Orphan Souls and so will you!

Great Rescue - Great Experience - Great group of people - Great overall experience!

Great experience from start to finish! Wouldn't consider any other rescue when we are ready for another fur baby. We cannot say enough good things about this organization. Take our word, you will not be disappointed. Contact them

Mullins family who adopted Sally (kitty)

Ro & Charli are phenomenal! The way they run this rescue is by far superior to any other rescue or shelter we have visited looking for our new companion. Looking for a new family member, contact Saving Orphan Souls Rescue

Mark L

Immaculate foster homes, happy & well rounded animals, great volunteers and fosters who ensure our experience was perfect. Great Rescue!

Nothing but praise and kudos to this rescue for going above and beyond day in and day out for all the animals who come into their care. You have our full respect and backing forever. Thank you for adopting Gemma to us. Our lives are so much better with her happy smile looking at us every day,.

Gemma's mom Phyllis - Scottsdale

Without this awesome organization, we would not have our dog Dexter. Saved from the streets of Mexico, starving, abused to a rescue who put so much time, money and love into him. A brand new dog he was when we met him, and he grows more and more every day. We love him to pieces. Thanks you SOS for all your hard work.

Connor Family with Dexter

Our experience was seamless. Thorough paperwork, plenty of time to interact with the Bruce in the foster home, questions answered, and follow up done to ensure we were all adjusting well. Love this rescue
Linda H & Bruce from Gilbert AZ

We were thrilled from start to finish with the entire process to adopt our kitty. Phone calls are returned same day, and anything we requested was fulfilled immediately. Their attentiveness to detail and ensuring the animals are going to "FOREVER" is commendable.

Thank you Saving Orphan Souls for making our experience one to remember. You do great work - keep it up!

Ro and her team at Saving Orphan Souls Rescue are A+! I have NEVER had any complaints about them. A caring group of volunteers and fosters who always are looking for the best home for their rescue dogs and cats. If you're looking to adopt a dog or ca, Saving Orphan Souls Rescue is the place to look. As a local dog trainer in the PHX area for over 8 years, I've seen my share of mis-managed shelters and rescues, and this is not one of them! Clean foster homes who allow the animals in the home to have free roam to interact with each other. Great job!!

We adopted our dog Dakota from Saving Orphan Souls in 2017, shortly after moving to AZ. At the time he was overweight, and he had scabs from being attacked by another dog prior to being in their care.

They were completely up front about his ongoing needs and we were ready to give Dakota a better life. SOS referred us to a fantastic vet who still cares for Dakota today. Dakota has had other health challenges since we adopted him, but that is a normal part of adopting an adult dog with an unknown past, which you sign up for when you decide to bring them home. Overall, he's been a healthy and happy dog who is completely part of our family. I thank Saving Orphan Souls for saving Dakota's life and bringing him into ours.

Saving Orphan Souls has an amazing set of volunteers and fosters. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. They did a home check for me to adopt my dog, tons of extensive paperwork, and asked us a bunch of questions. This organization works very hard to place the animals in the best homes possible, and with families that connect with the animal.
Thank you Beth

I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with this rescue. Not at all like I expected with all the bad rap rescues have been getting in Arizona and around the country. The cleanliness of the foster homes alone is fantastic! All the volunteers I've met are super friendly and helpful. If you're in the market for a new furry family member - check this place out! You won't regret it.

Laura & Jazz

I am a Former Adopter who stands by this rescue. They are thorough, and truly love every animal who comes through their doors. Without SOS, we would not have our Lacey whom we love dearly. We love to follow them on FB and see all the awesome work they do with the community. Looking for a new family member - look no further - SOS is the place to go.

Ellington Family

Great experience, healthy animals, concise and clear paperwork. Overall a wonderful experience. Thank you for our fur kid.

Integrity, experience, commitment - just some of the wonderful attributes of this rescue. We have volunteered and adopted from this organization, and we are beyond humbled to be associated with them. They are forthright and do everything by the book. If the I's are not dotted and the T's crossed, a final adoption will not take place. The same goes with the outstanding medical and emotional care these animal receive.

We applaud this rescue hands down.
The Bakers with JoJo & Maude - Snow Birds Sun City & Wisconsin

I had such a pleasurable experience with this rescue. They were very detailed to ensure the entire process was easy and thorough. To date, we stay in touch with them, and love sending updates. We attend events that they are at, just to say hi, and see if we are able to help in any way. They have our total support, and anything we can ever do for them, they just need to ask.

Thank you for SOS for being one of the rare good rescues here in PHX. We had horrible experiences in the past, and you by far are outstanding.

Wehauser Family living in Peoria AZ

Trustworthy, Transparent & Top Dog/Cat - this group gets all three T's from our family, and we thank you for all you did for our sweet fur kid. Such a horrible start Logan had in life, but they made him forget how bad people and life can be. They put so much time and patience into him, that when we finally got to take him home, he fit in right away. He is happy, healthy and so loving life.

Thank you SOS for all you do for the animals of Arizona
Carlsbad Family with Rover

We were asked to post a review after we adopted Zeke, and of course, we are more than happy to. Our family was treated with the utmost respect, and the rescue ensured that our new family was a perfect match. Although we came to see a specific animal, it didn't work out. On our second visit, they had the perfect dog who literally came running to us when we entered the foster home. It was love at first site for all of us.

We love him to pieces, and cannot thank SOS enough for everything they do and did to help us find each other.

Awesome, spectacular, diligent, exceptional, great, outstanding rescue!!!! Call them if you are looking for a new family member or companion.

Todd S, Rhonda S & Roscoe

LOVE LOVE LOVE This rescue and all the volunteers, fosters, Directors and of course Ro. This is a tight run ship rescue, who ensure that everything is done to perfection. Nothing is ever left out, compromised, or skimped on when it comes to the animals, their health and their surroundings.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our addition to the family. Please tell everyone you know who is looking for a rescue animal, to contact Saving Orphan Souls - you will not be disappointed.

Thanks again.
Kat & Darren

Exceptional Rescue - in it for the animals and not to turn a quick profit like other rescues. Thorough in-depth questionnaires and contracts ensure that both the adopter and rescue are protected. I cannot say enough good things about this organization. Without them we would not have our previous Kitty Toby.

Thank you for all you do - you are very much appreciated!

Steve M & Family - San Tan Valley

I am saddened to see a recent post about this rescue "adopters are signing an agreement to donate to the rescue" and not adopt an animal. THIS IS FARTHEST FROM THE TRUTH!!! This organization has a very thorough contract which states the adoption donation is NON Refundable. WHY, because if you are not 100% sure about adopting an animal DON'T!!!!! Saving Orphan Souls Rescue puts a ton of time and effort into their animals, and they don't have time to let adopters "TRY OUT" an animal, then decide they don't want or like it and return it and expect a refund. The animals are traumatized, and this is not what SOS is about. Furthermore, every animal is completely vetted with detailed documentation. If there is something that is missing or unclear - ASK!!!!

We love this rescue and ask that you take the numerous positive reviews as gospel, and not the few who seem to think that bashing and providing inaccurate information is ok - it's not.

SOS is outstanding!!!

Adopter beware. You are signing papers that say you are donating to the organization, not adopting an animal. Was threatened with lawsuit if I did not return the animal after issues arose. Was told our animal was fully vetted and was not and volunteer admitted that. No papers ever produced. Dog did not have rabies shot. Was told to get one and would be reimbursed. Never happened and no response on requests. Several volunteers involved trying to resolve situation and owner of company told one of them to "F" off. Everything advertised about the animal on their site was inaccurate. Go somewhere else that actually cares.

We adopted our kitty from this great organization. Ro & Charli are awesome, and we were astounded to see how clean the foster home was. We were given tons of time to bond with our new family member, and see how she interacted with the other kittys and dogs in the home. I respect this organization for everything they do for animals. Wouldn't adopt from anyone else.

Patrice and Mark Burnett & Luna

Praise and more praise is all I can say about this team of volunteers who devote their time and endless skills to rehabilitate and find forever homes for the animals that pass through their doors. In addition, they are very involved in helping the community, which is so heart warming. I cannot think about not having my two kitty's which I adopted from Saving Orphan Souls. They are such love bugs, and because of the foster environment, they love other cats, dogs and kids. Bless you SOS for all you do for animals.

My experience with this group was outstanding. Responsiveness, passion for the animals and overall excellence is how I would rate Saving Orphan Souls Rescue. You can't please everyone, and people love to find fault in everything, but I can tell you that you will be more than pleased with how this group is run.

Yes animals do get sick, and that is our responsibility as adopters to ensure that they get the medical care they need after adoption. I was disappointed in the negative post on this site, as I can tell you this is not how this group operates. They are available 24/7 for any questions. Their entire process from start to finish has every I dotted and every T crossed. The animals are healthy, happy and well socialized making our job as adopters easy.

Love this group! Thank you for our forever baby.

My story - I adopted a puppy from this organization, and was truly impressed. They firmly believe in doing pre adoptions, as until that animal is ready for final adoption, us adopters must wait. My puppy Bo Jangle was neutered, and got an upper respiratory infection the next day. Saving Orphan Souls kept us in the loop, as he was receiving medication for this condition. Once he was cleared for adoption, we made arrangements to pick him up.

Many rescues don't care about just pushing animals out the door. This is not the case with them. I am truly blessed that this little guy is in our lives, and couldn't thank this organization more for all the hard work and diligence they put into him.

Mr & Mrs Lawrence Kilmore

My emotional support service dog whom I adopted from Saving Orphan Souls Rescue is amazing. She came from Mexico and was found abused and starving on the streets. I cannot begin to tell you how much time and effort this organization put into rehabilitating her mentally and physically.

She is so smart, and is constantly at my side protecting me, as I am protecting her. I cannot thank SOS enough for bringing this sweet girl into my life. At times, I say she saved me, and makes every day brighter.
Dan

We all have super busy lives, but when I was asked to write a review for Saving Orphan Souls - everything came to a hault. Organizations which are in it for their cause and nothing else, is hard to find. SOS truly cares about their animals, and unless you pass their rigorous adoption process, the animal remains in foster. They are not like these other rescues who can't wait to adopt out their animals, and in most cases, know nothing about them. I can truly say SOS knows the good bad and the ugly about every animals in their care. Will they coincide with the other animals in our home. What is their daily routine - you name it they always are forthcoming.

Great rescue - look no where else if you want to adopt.

Davila Family & Kiki & Bruce - New River

I adopted my Charli from Saving Orphan Souls Rescue 2 years ago. He came from a hoarding situation, and has turned out to be the most social loving dog ever. This organization provided him the love, nurturing and their experience with animals living in these situations. They turned a shy, wanting nothing to do with people dog, into a confident dog who loves life. He enjoys doing puppaccinos weekly with me, and basically goes everywhere I go.

Thanks Saving Orphan Souls Rescue - you are great.
Tom & Charli from Apache Junction

My Bella is everything to me and my family. After losing a cat who we had for 18 years to cancer, we set out on a search for a new family member. There are so many rescues out there in Phoenix, and it was hard to decipher who was a good one. After a recommendation, we came upon the kittens and cats of SOS. From the moment we picked up the phone, to the final adoption, it was seamless. No stone was left un turned, and our Bella was and is amazing.

The care and socialization this organization puts into each and every animal that comes through their doors is phenomenal. We love this organization, and urge anyone who is looking to adopt to contact Ro and her team of volunteers and fosters.
Jan - Anthem

What is a rescue - people who put the best interest always of their animals at the forefront. Those who provide superior medical care, love, patience, socialization, nutrition and a safe environment to those who are hurt, fearful, have been abused, lost their home, scared and lonely.

Saving Orphan Souls does all the above and more. They love each and every animal like it was their own, and want only the best for them. I wouldn't adopt from any other organization, and tell all my friends and family about them.

Holly, Marc, Tristan, Chloe, London & Eqypt - Chandler

Really bad. Surprised they actually are a real organization. Fraudulent activity and not ethical. Sad for the dogs.

Great Rescue - We follow this organization on a daily basis, and see all the wonderful things they do for animals. Our Cat Patrice came from them, and the entire experience was fantastic. There are so many horrible rescues here in PHX, hoarders, etc. that to find one who goes above and beyond for animals is heart warming.

Thank you SOS for all you do for animals and the community. Keep up the outstanding work.
Lois McMann Gilbert

Great Rescue - cannot speak enough about the wonderful work they do with strays, abused and owner surrenders, along with how much they help the community.,

Look no further - if you want perfection reach out to Ro Perez and she will treat you just like she treats every other potential adopter with the utmost respect and diligence in finding your new best friend.

Awesome rescue.
Larry K Buckeye

Saving Orphan Souls Rescue gets an A++ (10 out of 10) rating from my family.
Ro Perez and her team are exceptional, and take the utmost best care of the animals in their care. Every animal in the foster home we visited, was very well socialized and greeted us when we walked through the door. You could tell how healthy and happy they were, and it was such a joy to see.

Our two cats, both adopted from them, are the light of our world. We enjoy sending updates to the rescue, and seeing our babies posted on Facebook. Any questions we had or have, they always respond to us with 24 hours.

I love this rescue, and so glad we adopted from them, and are able to make donations to them throughout the year to continue to save others.

Charlotte B. Sun City West

Where do I begin? We visited several different rescues here in PHX before we ended up adopting from Saving Orphan Souls Rescue. Either the facility/foster homes were dirty, animals were kenneled, lack of information about a specific animal we were interested in, and the list goes on and on.

My neighbor adopted from a large rescue in PHX, and they ended up lying about everything with the dog. The dog was sick, never introduced to cats, was told gets along great with other dogs, it did not, the dog was a total mess. We did not want to go through this ordeal.

Saving Orphan Souls Rescue provided complete medical records, showed us in the foster home that the dog was great with cats and other dogs, and even liked children. The dog was confident, well rounded, and behaved. Their intense process from start to finish was cumbersome, but we are thrilled that we decided to use their organization.

You can certainly see from the time you step into the foster home, how well cared for these animals truly are.

Thank you Saving Orphan Souls - you are a gem!!!
Louise

By far one of the best rescues to adopt from in Phoenix. They take the time needed to fully vet the adopters, to ensure the animal is going to a safe loving forever home. They spare no cost when it comes to medical for the animals, feed only high quality food, and provide a ton of love of socialization.

I cannot tell you how thrilled we are with their entire process, and our new family member.

Your comments are absolutely false, you didn't accept any responsibility or assisted in any manner. Your description is a misrepresentation of your weak internal operation and controls to care for the animals and place them in healthy environments. I spent over $1500 in vet bills and testing to get Aria to a healthy place. My vet is willing to provide a letter on the condition of Aria when she came to my home which I also provided Petco. I'm all for saving animals and for charitable work but not for negligence and misrepresentation of these poor pets. You deleted other online comments and your FB page because of my reviews.
Thankfully I had the resources to provide for Aria, I feel sorry for the families that didn't and had to suffer financially or make hard decisions. Your reviews are all solicited by staff and from recent for a good reason.

There are a lot of animal rescues here in the Phoenix area. There are many reasons I chose to volunteer with Saving Orphan Souls. I adopted from them, so I know their screening process is thorough. I had helped them gather citrus, clothing and blankets for the homeless, so I understood their commitment to not just animals but to the community. I was asked to help collect collars, harnesses and leashes to donate to the homeless who were being hassled because their dogs were not leashed. I have fostered both dogs and cats for them, so I know the quality of foster homes they look for. I have helped deliver pet food to the working poor who desperately want to keep their pets. Ro Perez may not be your "cup of tea" personally, but you will not find anyone in this area with the rescue heart she has. I am pleased and honored to be involved with this organization.

We adopted a senior Mini Schnauzer through SOS, it was a great experience all around. Ro Perez cares passionately for the animals and it is apparent in the way she screens potential adopters. SOS is responsible for rescuing so many animals that might not otherwise have a chance. Never buy a pet, rescue one from Saving Orphan souls!

Several years ago I adopted a cat from this rescue. She is one of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen, and was worth waiting for. It took a long time to get her because she was so little, and had a respiratory infection. But as much as I bugged and begged the rescue to let me have her, they made me wait til she was healthy. While I was upset at the time, I am glad now that they made me wait. My baby grew up to be a healthy happy cat! So, when I decided to adopt a dog, I came back to SOS. They don't always have small dogs, and I could have gone elsewhere instead of waiting, but I decided to wait. My dog is as healthy and happy as I could ever want. The screening process was fairly simple for a dog, also, and I could not be happier with this group. I may not adopt again for a while, but when I do, I will definitely come back to Saving Orphan Souls!

I have adopted two kittens through Saving Orphan Souls at two different times. The people I worked with are friendly and were very helpful in finding me a kitten that matched my lifestyle. Both kittens had been vet checked, fixed and were ready to go. When one of my kittens passed away unexpectedly, the director called me to make sure the other kitten was okay. When I am ready to adopt again, I will go back to Saving Orphan Souls.

Hi - I adopted three cats over the past 4 years from this organization. They are always willing to answer any questions I might have, and love getting updated pics from my babies. Each and every experience with them was professional, and they ensured that every question I had was answered, and in turn, they made sure they were completely satisfied adopting to me.

My kitty's were very well rounded, and easily fit into my household. Actually they are very loving little guys, whom I am thrilled to be able to give a new life to.

Saving Orphan Souls Rescue is exceptional. Please contact them if you are looking for a new family member or companion.

Lois

I adopted both my cat Charli and Dog Cesar from this organization. Their founder Ro is very thorough and ensures that every question is asked, and home checks are done for the safety of the animals. I couldn't be happier with SOS, and am an avid supporter of Everything they do. Follow them on facebook and see all the wonderful work they do, on a daily basis, along with helping displaced, homeless, and other areas like Puerto Rico and Mexico during their times of need. This speaks volume for their reputation and how they run their rescue.

I cannot begin to tell you how professional and upstanding this organization is. It is all about getting the best home possible for all their animals, and most definitely not about seeing how many animals they can adopt for profit. I have worked with this organization since inception 4 years ago, and have seen how many animals have been provided forever homes.

The foster homes are beyond clean, no animal is ever kenneled, tons of socialization around cats, dogs and kids to ensure the best fit, high quality medical is provided, and of course tons of love.

If you are looking for a top notch rescue - look no further.

Terrific nonprofit. They were easy to work with and the adoption processes was quick and simple. Highly recommend to anyone looking for pet.

When asked to write a review, my answer was most definitely. I love this organization and everything they stand for. Honest, trustworthy, loves the animals in their care, wanting only the very best for each and every one.

Take into consideration that not everyone can be pleased. People in general look to find fault with others. Well they can keep looking, as you are not going to find fault with anyone affiliated with this rescue. They are pristine and I am proud to say a huge supporter of their efforts.

We were asked to write a review about our overall experience with Saving Orphan Souls Rescue.

I cannot tell you how wonderful this organization is, and it pains me to see that two people left a negative review. Ro Perez does everything in her power to ensure the adopter is well versed on the animal they are adopting, and never pushes the animals out the door like other rescues.

This organization has a long list of supporters, and is held in high regards in Arizona. If you are looking to adopt - you want to make sure that the rescue is held in high regards. Saving Orphan Souls certainly is, and I wouldn't adopt from anyone else.

Outstanding Rescue by far in Phoenix. We had the best possible experience we could have ever imagined adopting our Sally Mae. This rescue will not adopt out animals who are sick or non socialized. Every animal in their rescue is exposed to cats, dogs and kids. This way no one ever has to worry what will happen when they get the animal home.

Saving Orphan Souls deserves an A+ in all their do for the animals in their care and for their community efforts.

Thank you for our wonderful family member.

Ida Murschan

Great organization. Wouldn't want to adopt from any other. I love my Missy, and so glad we adopted from Saving Orphan Souls Rescue.

Missy was completely potty trained, well socialized with cats, dogs, kids and people. They did all the work for us, and because of that she fit right into our lifestyle.

I applaud this rescue for doing the right thing from the time they take an animal in, until the time they place them with their forever homes.

We love SOS and so does MISSY! She says keep saving animals Ms. Ro.

Andrea - Fountain Hills AZ

Great organization. Wonderful to work with. Transparent - takes the animals best interest to heart. Will spend all the time in the world to answer questions and ensure that the animal is a good match for adopter and vice versa. They would rather the animal not get adopted, then let it go with just anyone.

I adopted from them 2 years ago, and follow them on Facebook and all the wonderful things they do as an organization. What organzations worries about the homeless and their pets, the elderly, displaced individuals, animals in crisis in Hawaii,Puerto Rico and Mexico. It doesn't matter the situation, this organzation is always willing to help those less fortunate including animals.

Love love love this organization and Ro Perez. They are transparent and in it for the animals only. Not like other rescues in it for the money - devastating.

I welcome anyone to question their ethics as you are sadly mistaken.

Kathleen - Buckeye

Outstanding Rescue - does everything by the book and makes sure their animals are healthy and going to the right forever home. We couldn't be more thrilled with the entire process, and saving a dog versus getting from a pet store or breeder is the only way to go.

Ro Perez is very thorough and grills each candidate to ensure her animals are going to the right home. Animals are 100% healthy, and if not, they are preadopted and we wait until they have final health clearance.

I am sorry that two people disagree with me, but there are always people who have nothing but negative comments no matter what. You cannot make everyone happy.

We love Saving Orphan Souls Rescue and you will too.

Contact them if you are looking for your new best Friend.

Robert - Surprise

So sad to see these two reviews. In life you cannot make everyone happy, and that is truly what I believe these reviews to be. Saving Orphan Souls Rescue is by far one of the best rescues in Phoenix, as they partner with many entities. Their reputation of being tough is done for the sake of the animals welfare.

They don't just adopt to any person. They screen, double screen and triple screen every potential person, along with home checks, to ensure that animals will not only be safe, but loved and well cared for. They take pride in ensuring that only healthy animals are adopted out, otherwise they do pre adopts like my little angel. We had to wait two weeks for final clearance from the Director for us to bring her home. What happens after it leaves their care, is not on them but us as adopters.

To the person who posted about ringworm, this is highly contagious, and I know for a fact this organization would never adopt out like this. It could very well have come from the adopters home, or somewhere that the adopter took the animal.

I will 1 million percent stand behind this organization, and encourage anyone who wants to adopt a dog or cat to do so with them. There are so many bad rescues in PHX - do your due diligence before adopting, but I can guarantee you if you are looking for phenomenal - look no further than Saving Orphan Souls Rescue.

Scott B.

I am an adopter of a wonderful dog from Saving Orphan Souls Rescue. Ro Perez and her volunteers/fosters always take the best care of the animals in their rescue, as evidenced by the immaculte foster homes. I not only went to their Directors home where my animal was being fostered, but picked him up at another foster's home.

The two reviews I have read on this site are TOTALLY FALSE. I would entrust my own child with this organization, and know first hand how they operate. I have been involved in many volunteer opportunities with them, and everything is ALWAYS done in the best interest of the animals.

They do not FLIP animals like many rescues. They do not hoard animals, like many rescues. Each foster home has ample animals in which each and everyone gets the best of care. Their living conditions are spotless, and they get tons of one on one attention from their foster parent(s).

All animals get upper respiratory infections at a throw of the hat - just like humans. Going from one environment to another, can easily trigger this. I am so angry about these two reviews, but taking into account that they have adopted over 1,800 animals to date, these two people can certainly have their opinion.

DEFINITELY adopt from this wonderful organization.

I'm writing this review to caution people, and to help them to prepare for the adoption experience through Saving Orphan Souls. I have already written to the organization about my experience and concerns, but it doesn't seem that they care enough. While I respect their charitable effort, I feel that they lack the infrastructure and the controls necessary to properly care for the animals. As things are, it absolutely doesn't seem that they provide them with a healthy and safe environment. 
I adopted my kitten 10 days ago and took her to my vet for a wellness check within the first 3 days. Here are her results: 
1. She has ringworm. When I first saw my kitten as well as when I picked her, I questioned the caretaker about the scabs which were all over her body. I was told she only had dry skin and that it wasn't a concern and  should only use coconut oil to help her.2. She has Giardia. This was diagnosed via a stool sample during her wellness check by my vet. 3. She has an upper respiratory infection.  These are serious health concerns especially for a very young cat (2 months old). Following the visit to my vet and her diagnosis, I contacted Saving Orphan Souls. Their response was to try to shift the blame onto me and my care. I have another healthy cat and spare no expense in caring for my pets and providing for them. I also mentioned to them that when I picked her up she had awful odor as if her litter box had never been cleaned. The foster person who met me at Petco to deliver my kitten had highly questionable hygiene. Although I don't wish to be judgmental, that was another indication of the conditions my kitten was fostered in.
I asked Saving Orphan Souls to warn the families who adopted my kitten's siblings, as those families may have to deal with the same health issues with their new pets. I have no sense of assurance that the other families were contacted. Ringworm and giardia are both highly contagious. Dealing with this required me to take additional precautions in order to protect myself as well as my other healthy cat. I spent countless hours sanitizing and cleaning my home. Additionally, I had to spend a substantial amount of money on vet visits for my new kitten as well as my existing cat to ensure that she stays in good health.Safe and healthy conditions are non-negotiable for our animals. I'm supportive of animal charities but I found Saving Orphan Souls to be negligent in caring for their charges.Whether they admit to it or not, I feel it's my obligation to make sure that people are prepared and understand the risks of adopting through them.

Do not donate to this organization. They pretend to be understanding with your situation of using their services but then blame you for your circumstances and blame you for possible mistreatment of the animals your surrendering. Do not waste your hard earn money to this organization. There are many others that truly care about you and your animals.
