Puppylover
Review for Paws of Dale Hollow, Byrdstown, TN, USA
This rescue is a complete joke! First of all they aren't clear at all about their procedure and they lie! I was looking at a dog from them and in the first email Cathy sent me she said that she and her rescue were "directly linked" to a shelter in NH and she said if there was any problem with the relationship between dog and owner that the people in NH would help you out. So after saying this and that I have 15 days to give back the dog, I assumed that I could give the dog back to the shelter in NH. WRONG! After I filled out an application and was approved, she put me in contact with one of her volunteers, Loretta, who was very pushy on the phone and wouldn't even properly answer my questions! When I asked if I can return the pup if there was a problem to the place in NH, she answered back with would you return your own child!? What kind of response is that? She also said that they aren't linked with a shelter in NH. What!? When I told Cathy this and how she practically said that they wouldn't take the pup back and if it was true, she said that Loretta would never say that and she denied my application! She seriously denied my application because I asked a question and accused her beloved employee! Oh and she also said that they aren't linked with a shelter in NH even though she herself said they are. Loretta apparently called it a rescue which isn't true. It's actually a shelter. Plus there was a different story of how the dog was found on petfinder and a different one from Cathy herself! These people are seriously crazy and I would stay far away if I was you! They are very unprofessional and don't know how to run a business. If they told me from the beginning where would I return the dog, i'm guessing Tennesse, then I wouldn't have wasted my time. But they made it seem that they were working with NH, just so they can get the dog adopted. What a bunch of bull. I hope all the dogs get taken away from them and they get shut down. I've dealt with many shelter/rescue people and none of them have been this rude before. Stay far away!
