Pet Project Rescue

My families first attempt to Rescue a dog. a dog that was posted online that was in need of a new home quickly. So we have a history of Boxers in the past that lived healthy lives to 13 — 16.
We presently own a 3 year old beautiful female Boxer, Leia and desparetly wanted to get her a friend to play and enjoy life with.
We always wanted a white boxer also. preferably a male. We had had troubles finding one, so finally found Mugsy a white male Boxer to adopt. After filling out application we got an email back denying us because our present female dog is not spayed and emails and replies on social media started.
After looking at previous reviews now on Facebook page I see that they can engage and reply till you can’t take it anymore.
Needless to say, I do NOT recommend them and they have probably put my name on a «Do Not Adopt» list. and basically told me to spay my dog if I ever want to adopt a dog.
So this has turned me away from this whole process and my 9 and 11 year old boys will be upset as we don’t even have a chance to adopt this dog or maybe any due to the actions these employee’s can choose to take. We will probably be forced to get a puppy now anyways, so even though we wanted to help out and do the right thing by adopting we can’t even attempt it.
Now on Facebook I have numerous replies. 2 to my 1. and this could have ended with 1 simple reply.

I adopted my kitty from this organization almost a year ago now and I am so happy with her. I got a healthy, purdy gal, and she was well cared-​for in her foster home as far as I could tell. The PPR people were helpful and the adoption process went smoothly even though it was hella packed that day at Urbanimal.
I do think it would be better if the foster parents came to the adoption events.
I didn’t want to wait to adopt my kitty, so I didn’t get a chance to speak with her caretakers. It would have been helpful to know that she is not as social as she first seemed, and that she has a noisiness problem.

Pet Project Rescue is a foster home based adoption agency. Meaning the animals are placed into homes where they live until they are adopted, instead of being in a shelter. This is a great system because not only does it decrease the illnesses of the animals but it also makes it so the person/​people who are fostering the pet can know much more about the animal to ensure a better match between you and your prospective pet. You can know how the animal acts when it is a home environment instead of in a shelter, where they often do not act like themselves out of fear, anxiety, or other things like that.
We adopted a precious cat from Pet Project Rescue after I had done a TON of research on the wide array of foster based adoption agencies and animal shelters. By no means am I saying that people should not adopt for shelters but I think it depends on the needs of you and your family. If you are looking for particular things in a pet look to some of the foster based agencies, such as Pet Project Rescue, for a good fit.

PPR was great in so many ways. They were very knowledgeable and caring and all of the adoption process went very smoothly. We first saw our kitty online and I went to one of the adoption events that they have at Urbanimal to meet her. We applied online and then visited her in her foster home. The finalization and everything was easy and we felt as if they helped to fully prepare us to bring her into our home with our other cat. Also, all of the animals are fully vetted and microchipped.
Highly recommend adopting from this agency!
