Review for Jellystone Barks Rescue Rangers NFP, Yorkville, IL, USA
We heard of Jellystone Barks Rescue Rangers from my sister, who has rescued several dogs from them, so we decided to give them a try. It was just a few days from the time we filled out the application until we picked up our Buddy. We saw his picture on line and knew that was the puppy we wanted. He was adorable, and my wife and I loved him from that moment on. They set up a time for us on a Saturday, and we went to meet him. We didn't realize we were going to be able to take him home that day, but once we held him, we would not have wanted to leave without him. He was shaking like a leaf when we got him home, and every loud noise, or dog bark sent him running. Within 3 days, he was doing his business outside with very little coaxing from us. Now, about 10 weeks later, we have a very confident, extremely lovable puppy. He did not want to walk in the grass when we got him home, acting as if he had never touched it before. Now, we have a hard time bringing him into the house. He LOVES to run around our yard. I told my wife he looks as if he is running with joy. His energy level is so high, we get tired just watching him. We are both in our mid 60's and weren't ready for that, but he has been such a joy to us. We did not get to meet Kim Morgan that day, but the experience was so painless, and easy. We would recommend Kim and her people to anyone wanting to rescue a dog. We wish we knew a little bit more of his history, though. We may consider rescuing a playmate for Buddy, but have not made that decision yet, but we would definitely go with Kim again.
