My Nonprofit Reviews

Two months ago, we welcomed our beloved Scottie into our lives through Southpaw Rescue, and we truly can’t imagine our days without her.

Veronica from Southpaw and Colin, Scottie’s dedicated foster dad, provided exceptional care for her over the span of four to five months prior to our adoption. Scottie arrived at Southpaw with a host of health challenges, including issues with her eyes, uterus, ticks, and bite wounds. Her journey to recovery was a steep climb, but the rescue went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure she received the comprehensive care she needed to thrive and find her forever home. Scottie’s smooth transition into our family and her joyful demeanor are a testament to the gentle and compassionate care she received from Veronica and Colin.

Our family, based in Northern California, was Southpaw’s first adoption beyond Southern California. Veronica took a leap of faith with us, meticulously evaluating our suitability as a forever home. She provided us with detailed veterinary records, including x-rays, vet notes, and her own observations from each appointment. I was profoundly impressed by the thoroughness and care that Southpaw exhibited long before Scottie was officially up for adoption.

We had ample opportunities to communicate and FaceTime with Scottie’s foster dad before making the journey to meet her. He was always ready to answer our questions, sometimes even repeating answers to ensure we were fully informed. When we traveled to Southern California to pick up Scottie, the process was exactly as described—clear, straightforward, and filled with warmth.

Since the adoption, Southpaw has stayed in touch, underscoring their unwavering commitment to the success of their adoptions.

I would adopt from Southpaw again without hesitation. If we were still in Southern California, I would eagerly foster for them as well.
