My Nonprofit Reviews

We love our dog Cocoa. We adopted her a year ago and have grown very attached to her. We are first time owners with small children and were very excited to get our new dog.

I saw a picture of Cocoa (then, named “Tankerbell” ) and knew that she was the one. She was advertised as a Basset Mix - only months after adoption, after getting a DNA test, finding out she was a pitbull mix with zero Basset in her - we didn’t care, and loved her all the same.

We followed all the protocols of shots and spays and is current on all pet-care medical requirements - she’s a very healthy and very loved dog - she’s literally one of our furry children.

After we got hit with financial hardship in the last few months and with great sadness, we came to the conclusion we couldn’t care for Cocoa anymore.

When we phoned AMPR, on multiple occasions, with our sensitive case with the request to re-home her, we were met with anger and frankly, I felt humiliated and insulted by the way I was treated. It was so incredibly unnecessary and the way they treated my wife and I was childlike and unprofessional - all because we wanted to re-home her. They showed zero sensitivity to our specific situation.

This experience has soured AMPR’s taste in my mouth - and what a pity because they’re doing such important work…
