My Nonprofit Reviews

We just completed our second adoption with Jellystone and Kim a week or so ago. Our first was a pure 9 month old GSD and most recently a mix (Aussie) that was a pup of about 8 weeks. We are very happy with our experience. We applied at a number of rescues before Jellystone and asked about several dogs in the process. Some got back to us in 3-4 days... some never did. With Kim and Jelly, they were, by far, the most responsive of any shelter. At times, Kim would return our e-mails in minutes.

I read some of the reviews that were less than positive. I have to say, that was not our experience or perhaps some of those people were expecting more from a rescue. We had the choice of going to a breeder or a rescue. We knew the positives and the potential challenges of both. We chose a rescue with our eyes wide open as to some of the potential issues. Kim's program was well laid out along with all the caveats.

We are very happy with both our dogs. We'd go back to Kim for a 3rd (Sorry Kim, there won't be a third!... 2 is enough for now.) Xena and Bentley are having a great time together... as long as Xena remembers that Bentley isn't a chew toy.
