Save a Mutt Kennel

We have a 7yr old dog and wanted a companion for him. We got a puppy mix without any issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend them. Please keep in mind, their rescue is taken care of with their own money and it’s obvious they truly care about these precious beings. I appreciate what they do for these helpless animals. May God Bless them.

We found an absolutely adorably puppy online and we fell in love! Contacted the agency right away, filled out an application, and got a reply later that day about the 8-​day waiting period for approval. Had a very similar experience to Shane J. Can think of no explicable reason for rejection and have not yet received any reply. They have the right to reject anyone, obviously, but I think at very least you have the right to know their reasons for rejecting you. They also didn’t check our references. With so many dogs needing homes, this just doesn’t make any sense. Perplexed and disappointed!

Saw a puppy I was interested in, and applied for it. After waiting the 8 days I sent a friendly reminder email asking about the status of the lil guy. After my email I received a response «sorry but your application was not approved». Called my reference and my vet to ask what the issue may have been, and surprise… they contacted neither. So. they legit followed zero of their own rules in the adoption process. Just for the record, I have lived on a multiple acre farm and have owned horses, goats, dogs, and many other pets for the entirety of my life. Seems counterintuitive to the adoption process to have such terrible follow through on one puppy. A cookie cutter «sorry he’s been adopted», even if untrue. would’ve saved this complaint. I for one wouldn’t trust a kennel, regardless of workload, that couldn’t follow their own rules when it was convenient for them.

I already had a dog and wanted to rescue a companion for her, so I focused my search on local rescues that way everyone could meet each other before the decision was made. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t working out locally so I took a chance with Save a Mutt Kennel and rescued a dog I never met before. I was nervous about this, especially since I already had a dog at home and didn’t know how the two would mix. Save a Mutt Kennel was great to work with, though! There was a hiccup in the adoption process where the foster parent didn’t bring the new puppy to the vet the night before transport, but Save a Mutt Kennel kept in touch with me, let me know of the problem, and worked things out so that the dog was able to be seen the next day and transported to me as scheduled. I really appreciated their communication with me about this, and their effort in doing what they needed to do to make the adoption happen without delay. Jimmy (formerly Viper) has been with us for 4 months now, and he is the sweetest dog I have ever met. He and my other dog are best friends and have been inseparable since the day they met. It’s been such a joy having him. Rescuing him is one of the best decisions I have ever made– even though I couldn’t meet him ahead of time. Thanks to everyone at Save A Mutt Kennel for all of your hard work in rescuing dogs and finding homes for them! I can’t imagine what would have happened to Jimmy if these lovely people didn’t do what they do. Thank you!
