Shelby (Fiona) has really become part of our family. After quite a long adjustment period and plenty of love , she has overcome her shyness and timidness turning out to be quite a great dog with a playful streak. Thanks to Awesome Paws for introducing us
We pre-qualified with Awesome Paws although we ended up rescuing a pup through another rescue. Our experience with Awesome Paws was spectacular. They were so knowledgeable, kind and caring, and it was clear how dedicated they are to helping place rescues in loving, appropriate homes. We recommend them to anyone we talk to because we were so impressed with how they operate. We appreciate all of their efforts and hope they continue for many years to come.
Awesome paws is incredible. The process is super simple and easy. After expressing our interest in a puppy we had him within 72 hrs. The foster mom even checked in with us a few days later to see how he settled in. We adopted a 13 week old Shepherd mix puppy (we named him Dart) and love him to pieces.
At first, I Googled pet rescue places in Buffalo NY. WOW, what a list! It was overwhelming. I'd never have the time to search each one then search their pets. So, my son had a friend who adopted from Awesome Paws and had a great experience, so we gave it a shot. Talk about easy! The person who visited and pre-approved us was great, explained everything in detail. And, how easy is it to see new animals on their FB page? Each time we messaged we were interested in a dog, we received a call within 24 hours, letting us know what 'number' we were in line to visit/decide. All followed up until we completed our search.
While we only visited 1 foster mom, she was outstanding! There was no pressure, and she seemed to understand we needed to be sure it was the perfect fit. Luckily, it was, 1st puppy! and, oh, what a puppy we got - he's super smart and adorable, an amazing addition to our family - we couldn't be happier.
Awesome Paws adoption fee also included spade/neutering, which is a plus (and included chip placement).
I believe there's also a new program that if you're preapproved, you receive an early 'peek' at the upcoming adoptees, and that helps when they are all so adorable -
Bottom line: highly recommend!
