Animal Rescue, Inc.

"It was absolutely horrible what was done to my friend. Her application was approved for a dog. She chose a dog. She was then told the foster mother would not give up the dog. She chose three other dogs. She was told the same foster mother had all four dogs. And then, instead of fixing it, they told her “ oh it was a mistake. Your application was actually rejected."

"Discriminatory practices, unprofessionalism, and greed. I would strongly recommend going to any other organization or a neighbor to adopt you next pet. This “business” genuinely does not have the animals interest in mind and it is immoral. The employees are cold and callus, cosplaying as animal protectors only to keep innocent animals in cages in numerous pet stores up and down 95 FOR PROFIT. Save yourself some time and find another source for your pet needs."

"We had adopted a cat from pet smart in Bel Air Md. We had loved and cared for him for two years until he accidentally got out one night when a door wasn’t shut properly. We were devastated, we called the humane society and other local shelters, spent $1k on a search and rescue dog, set traps, alerted our vet, posters and put alerts out on our neighborhood app and fb- in total we spent over $2k. We did anything we could have possibly had done for over 2 months. It started getting colder and slowly that week he went missing went to months. He was found over 20 mins from our home and suspect someone had dumped him. This shelter had called us and alerted us that he was found- but since we had not called THEM they will not be giving us our cat back. What were yall going to do in PA when we were in MD- since it was a “breech of contract” we’ve now lost a part of our family because of some stupid contract. Do NOT adopt from here, we’ve told our family and friends, even coworkers. Shared this news to as many people as we could, it is absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking what you did to us and more importantly what your putting our cat through by not letting him come home where he belongs. It breaks me that all the time we spent with him, bonded with him, loved and cared for him means absolutely nothing to y’all, and yall our willing to take an important part of our family because we didn’t call you. Horrible."

"Animal Rescue, Inc really take care of their furry friends. Nice people if you are interested in a cat or dog. And the little furry friends in the office are always great to see. I will always support our no kill shelter. Every dog and cat deserve a nice family but for those little guys that have not found a good home yet, then this is where to be."

"They genuinely do not have the best interests of the animals at heart. They refused to communicate after we submitted our application. We called 5 days later. The coordinator leaves her voice-mail full so you can't even leave a message. We talked to the front desk. They told us the coordinator would call us. We never got a call but did get an email from the coordinator where she lied about statements we supposedly made in our application and used that as reason to justify her 'concerns' about our application. I have a copy of our application and can prove we never said what she claimed we did. We immediately replied to clarify, but received no response. Further calls went unanswered. This place is a scam. Read the other reviews. They will lie and make up any excuse they possibly can to prevent you from being able to adopt. Please note, they did say they had other applications for the dog we applied for. I am not upset because we didn't get the dog, but because they wouldn't let us come look at other dogs because our application wasn't approved. I feel sorry for the poor animals that these people "rescue". Stay far away."
