My Nonprofit Reviews

We went to one of Justin Bartlett’s adoption events looking to add an addition to our family. At first I was taken a little aback because as soon as I started looking at a huge liter they had (that reminded me of my dog we just lost) we were kindly asked a strange question by one of the volunteers. “Do you rent or own your home?” I thought hmm.. does it matter? We rent. But it DOES matter. She explained that dogs that society deems “dangerous” are unable to be adopted by this rescue if you rent bc more then likely if/when we move, we will have more trouble finding somewhere to rent with that breed and they didn’t want their dogs to be left without a home. (In hindsight I remembered how difficult it was to find our current home having a pitbull at that time) So I went from kind of frustrated that I couldn’t consider a load of adorable puppies, to relieved that someone would be thoughtful enough on the concerns of the dogs future. So she showed me the pups that were an option for me. I found 2 adorable mixes and after some snuggles and chats with the fam, we decided we wanted to take the male home. This is where the staff REALLY went above and beyond. They called my previous dogs vet, they asked all the questions, and reviewed us very thoroughly. They offered us some alone time with the pup but we already had our hearts set. The only flaw in the system I saw from start to finish was that I didn’t know at the time we adopted (it may have changed since then) that they were cash only. So we did have to go to the bank. But a small infraction to the overall,life changing day was nothing in our eyes. We took our boy home. They gave us plenty of info, a certificate for a free checkup at their vet (we didn’t use it as we live an hour away and already have an established vet) and we were on our way to Petco to spoil our new pup. They called a few days later to check up on everything and the rest is history. We adopted Scout and I will say, he is a perfect dog. Thank you so much to Justin Bartlett animal rescue for introducing us to our fur baby. Our lives have changed incredibly because of his loving energy. I have thought a lot about reaching out to this organization to see if there is anything they are able to do about reaching out to the adopter of his sister as I would LOVE to see how she’s doing and if she’s anything like our Scout. I’m not sure if this is something they can do or would be willing to do, but if so they would get 100 more stars from me for going that extra mile. I’d just love to see these siblings reunite. Thank you for taking the time to read my review, if your looking to add a fur child to your life, this is by far the adoption people I would choose time and time again. THANK YOU AGAIN JB!
Love, Allie and Scout.
