Review for Bideawee Inc., Wantagh, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Best adoption/rescue around by far! Professional, caring, attentive & trustworthy.
They go the extra mile to make sure the adoptable pets are vetted and well matched.
Only the highest praise for an organization comprised of total pros and years of experience.

Review for Looking Glass Animal Rescue, Ridgefield, CT, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

This is a remote animal rescue organization. They do NOT spay or neuter the pets, in spite of the fact their website states otherwise. You can not see recent photos or speak with a foster family. Their pets are actually not fostered, but rather in a shelter. Basically, you are paying upwards of $500 for a stray. If you volunteer to foster, they charge you the FULL adoption fee in advance prior to meeting the pet. This is because there is no place to "return" a foster. They have no physical location and take payment only via pay pal. They have you pick up your pet on a roadside rest stop. All the positive reviews posted are by either friends or volunteers. Check their references & buyer beware!!!! There are thousands of authentic and reputable organizations for pet adoption. Think twice before going thru this one.

We are so sorry you feel this way. Let me help clear things up a bit. Our dogs are all in homes with families, however they do originate from some of the most high kill shelters in the country. Upon pull, animals are immediately moved to a quarantine in the home given that animals in shelters are exposed to illness and we can't be too careful. After cleared, they live, play, and socialize as normal. Our reputation precedes us which is why we receive adoption applications immediately once we post our new rescues. Many adopters wish to pick up direct from transport as they are too excited to wait. We offer foster first but if they are qualified, why withhold a forever home? Altering is a given however COVID caused delays and shutdowns wreaked havoc on our normal course. We therefore take refundable deposits to ensure adopters follow thru AT OUR EXPENSE once an appointment can be secured. If you share your actual name, we can discuss like adults. We love feedback!

 

Review for Bonnies Animal Rescue Kingdom, Paramus, NJ, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I agree with the horrible reviews written about this rescue. My experience has been they kept everyone waiting an hour past their posted appointment schedule. Once they arrived, they were rude and would not let anyone near their dogs. Really! How would they expect anyone to adopt under these circumstances? Very disorganized. Dogs were not spayed or neutered, nor were they vet checked. They had no knowledge of the dogs they brought. This organization is strictly in the business of “selling dogs”. With all the reputable rescues around, I’d recommend finding a dog elsewhere. These people are nasty and just don’t care.
