My Nonprofit Reviews

Hero, the celebrity white German Shepherd that everyone seems to follow or know about from Bug A Bull's social media pages, has been my introductory experience to their services and I couldn't be more thankful their comprehensive approach to ensuring the best possible dog/adopter match. Like a lot of dog owners, my vision of my next adoption was largely molded by my previous dogs that seemed to be irreplaceable. I was convinced that we'd never have another dog as compatible with our lifestyle as our last one, but when I connected with Rachael, I told her about my last dog and the main qualities we were looking for in a potential new adoption.

After chatting for a while, she immediately suggested that Hero might be an excellent fit so I scheduled a time to come out and meet him the following week. The initial meeting was wonderful and I was extremely impressed with him. In fact, I was so impressed with him that in the following days, I began to second guess my ability to be the best possible fit for him because I knew he deserved the very best, especially after all of the things he went through to get to this point. I was up front and honest about my reservations and throughout the ongoing conversation, Rachael was able to address each of my concerns by explaining how what I perceived as weaknesses on my part were actually perfect for what Hero needed. She understood my experiences as a veteran would be invaluable in understanding his thought processes and she knew him so well that she was able to answer every question I had.

To sum up my experience with Bug A Bull, they are compassionate, understanding, and uncompromising in their dedication to the dogs that are lucky enough to be rescued by their organization. They will not match dogs with adopters unless they are confident in their compatibility and they'll do everything they possibly can to ensure the highest-levels of success for adoptions. Most, if not all of their adoptable dogs have completed at least some level of basic obedience training, but others have had much more. This means that dogs adopted through Bug A Bull have had countless hours of assessment, training, and care before they are adopted and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who has had less than an exceptional experience with them. After seeing how truly perfect Hero has been for our household and lifestyle, I'll never trust my dog adoption experience to anyone other than Bug A Bull in the future. If you're like me and are cautious about adopting because of all of the "unknowns", you can take almost all of the guesswork out of the process by connecting with them so they can get to know you and begin to help you find your next four-legged best friend!
