Thanks to Fur Baby Rescue for bringing us our Penny (previously known as Beyoncé) to our home. With puppies being adopted quicker than we could fill out applications on PetFinder, we were a bit disheartened. We reached out & text the phone # of Dawn at Fur Baby Rescue and she sent the initial questionnaire. We then got invited to their open house where we met our baby. The staff there were so professional, knowledgeable, kind and are really passionate about their babies. They went above & beyond in sharing their knowledge & tips. They reassured us that we can always contact them with any questions or concerns about our Penny. We’re forever grateful to Fur Baby Rescue!

We adopted our puppy from this rescue. The lady who ran the rescue said he was a full bred Australian shepherd, and that it would be more expensive. We did not care that according to her he was full bred (HE IS NOT). We fell in love with him. We paid our fee and were instructed to reach out should we need help because vets are expensive, and they may be able to help.Shortly after we brought Toby (our name for him) home, he began to act different, and started puking. I texted, called, and emailed (with no response) we contacted our emergency vet, and took him in. By the time they answered my wifes calls and strong worded text messages we told them he was being seen at the vet already. They told us we should have taken him in to their place instead. The vet said Toby was having stomach issues because the food he was receiving (provided and recommended by the rescue) was not appropriate for his young age. We informed this to the rescue, and they tried telling us different.Shortly after that incident Toby began feeling sick again, we took him in to our vet and found out he had Parvo. (This was verified by a second vet). We contacted the rescue, to inform them (we thought they would appreciate it) they suggested that the Vets were wrong.Needless to say, my wife and I chose to try and save our life our little boys. We did the treatments, and glad to say he made it. But we never heard back from the rescue... even though the adoption came with shots and neutering, we have chosen to pay for those ourselves, and cut all ties with this place. Sad to say, Fur baby rescue did not seem to care much about this little guy. It appears the word rescue has different meanings to some.The only thing that came out of the experience, is we have our little guy at home.

Completely unresponsive. After 5 attempts to contact them over two days and waiting 10 days for a response, I’ve decided to write this review. I’ve received absolutely zero communication from this organization. I understand that they are shorthanded during Covid... but a simple response acknowledging that my request had at least been received would have been appreciated. I sent 2 texts, 2 emails, and called once on the phone (there was a voice message that said to send a text). Their adoptable animals are being updated on their website, so they have not gone out of business. This is just purely unprofessional. Don’t be surprised if you get 100% ignored when contacting this company. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if they respond to this bad review...

I got my baby from here. It is a little pricey, but well worth it! The owner is very nice, and seems very knowledgeable, you can really tell that she cares about the animals and their well-being. The building itself is clean inside and out! Would 100% recommend!

Amazing and knowledgeable staff!! Thank you so much for being such wonderful heroes!!

I needed help with a kitty. After calling the fire department and the citys Animal Services who refused to help, I called five different animal rescues; Fur Baby Rescue was the only rescue that helped. If you can donate to this rescue, you will be doing a really good thing.😸

I love Fur Baby Rescue, I volunteered there for years. In that rescue the puppies are very well taken care of and the workers there super friendly.

Finally first time been here the pup that was available was soo adorable. Sasha female pit mix black and white color is cute wish i had the $$for but be a while to do so. I was surprised of the fee. But just to pet an adorable puppy made my day. I ssooo miss hvn a pup or dog dogs around bcuz they bring comfort aftr a long day

I love these people, they have helped me with my dogs to find forever homes for them and have helped other dogs to find great homes also...

Got my baby dere. No complaints. I am Asian Indian, and there were no racism, or discrimination. Price is high because, they are being influenced better from the beginning, so they are more social. They are fur babies... treat them as such...

The owner Dawn is very sweet and really cares for the animals she rescues. And..she is super concerned about her babies even after they are adopted. She will go to great lengths to be sure the animal and new forever home are a perfect match.

Ive inquired about dogs on their site a few times but they ignore my requests except the one time they just made excuses

A lovely sanctuary with a kind and loving staff. Very professional and caring to all dogs that come here. I highly recommend rescuing a dog here.

Dawn was so nice and really great with all her animals. She was very informative and you can tell she and her staff extremely care about their animals. Thank you so much for providing us with a perfect puppy!

All puppies were so cute! I stayed there till they kiked me out!

Everyone read super nice and clearly cared for the kittens. Chill older animals, adorable kittens, knowledgeable staff.

THEY NEVER RESPOND TO YOUR INQUIRY!!!If you call, they tell you to send them a text msg and that they would get back to us right away but no one response to your text messages. The adoption websites also tells you to text the rescue, but they never get back to you.I even tried to email them, no response.How am I suppose to meet and adopt a pet from this rescue when I cant even talk to anyone??

I just wish these groups would be honest And just call themselves a dog selling business. because theres nothing wrong with making money, but they when they call themselves a rescue center its misleading and false. Please dont be part of the insane puppy profiting thats been going on lately. Its only sending prices for stray dogs into the stratosphere! And thats really NOT helping these poor animals that just need good homes. So, please go to your local shelter instead. Be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Why are these rescue companies so shady?! I could not get a response from Dawn about a possible adoption of a puppy despite the communication on my end. Then the dog was unlisted. Completely unreliable, unprofessional and dishonest. And now I see reviews of her “business” here on google. Don’t adopt w her, go straight to the shelter.

Got my pup there several years ago - She was a year old and needed a home.... now I think 8 years old, we still have our lil chihuahua mix and she is happy and for the most part healthy (little things come up here and there.)We walked in, after a couple emails or phone calls, and after some negotiation, left with a fur baby to love and care for....Never heard from them again, however when we want another family member, they will be high on my list. We adopt about once every 10 years. Great experience.

Best rescue ❤ people are friendly and the puppies are well loved and taken care of

DO NOT ADOPT FROM HERE UNLESS YOU WANT A SICK PUPPY AND LIES.Ill start off by noting that Dawn is typically quick to respond prior to adoption. As in when you want to make an appointment to see the puppy. But why wouldnt she be, shes about to make a lot of money.I adopted my pup a few weeks ago and after doing research, I found out its best to take him to the vet for a stool sample. While I was there, I found out the following:1) my dog has rabies2) my dog never got his rabies shot or first set of vaccinations like they claimedAfter everything is said and done I do plan on taking her to small claims court.

I found this cat outside of my home. I was wondering if you guys are able talking him in?

Great professional staff!

Though they have cute puppies and a very kind staff... something is off pup came home with an infection that almost ended his life after only being home 2 weeks and paid 550$. i would question quality of care and cleanliness. i almost had to put the puppy down after a week of illness and strong antibiotics. if you adopt please see a vet before its too late and you have to throw away more money.

A kind, caring animal rescue.

There’s a lot of freedom for the cats here :) not like most shelter which keeps cats in cages in fear of barking dogs. This place does not cage cat. I felt really happy seeing them enjoying their toys and cat trees😭

Terrible service. Entire place smells like weed.

I’ve had such a disturbing experience with Dawn and Fur Baby Rescue. I’ll write as detailed as possible to help people looking into adopting here, but I’m really drained. I’ll start with the first thing that went wrong, and also the most minimal aspect to me. When I got there, I asked how much the adoption fee was and was told a completely different figure then the final amount. I mentioned something to them but I didn’t argue it. It wasn’t worth it.I couldn’t take my puppy home that day because he needed to get neutered. Which I later found out was highly unsafe at his age. When I went to pick him up Dawn made NO mention that he requires a cone. I thought it was odd but figured there must be some new cutting edge technology that some vets have where the cone is no longer required. Because the other scenario, the owner of a RESCUE failing to tell me something of this importance, was too preposterous. After a week of going back and forth in my head about this, I thought I should reach out to Dawn and double check. Sure enough, she said he does require a cone and “maybe she forgot to tell me”. When I pointed out that this was a big thing to forget to tell someone, she then switched her story to cover her butt. She said now that she thought about it, she did tell me. But she’s lying. My sister was with me and confirmed she made no mention of it.Side note, she also told me she forgot to give me his paperwork. She offered to mail it but I told her I’d be back for his “last” vaccination and would pick it up then so she wouldn’t have to go through the trouble. When I went back, she couldn’t find the original paperwork. She had lost it.The final part of my review is the most devastating. She lied and said that his initial shots were taken care of after my last visit. And said my dog can go out in 2-3 days. FYI, I had to ask how quickly I could expose him to the outside world. Otherwise they would have never told me on their own to wait 2-3 days. But I just got back from the vet today and had to show him all of my dog’s paperwork while I was there. He said my dog is not done with his initial shots. There’s two more that need to be done and my dog should have NEVER been outside this entire time. I was at the vet because of something my dog got from being outside.I reached out to Dawn but it made matters worse for me. She did offer to give me a tax donation form as compensation. But that’s going to do nothing for me and my puppy. I don’t understand how Fur Baby is considered a rescue, yet their false information or no information at times, puts your dog in harms way.I get that you may see an animal you fall in love with on Pet Finder and they are at this shelter. So I won’t suggest that you don’t adopt from them. Because when a dog is meant to be yours, you know. But I would not trust a thing Dawn or anyone their says. Or at least do your own research.

UPDATE: Added one star as we received a check in the mail from Dawn based on the agreement she gave us. I still stand by my whole review.Please read this if you are going to adopt from this establishment. I just posted a detailed review and feel like I need to notify people before they decide to adopt from here. I DO NOT REVIEW. EVER. If you want the details, see yelp. This is the short version:--CON: WITHOUT OUR ADOPTION AND ATTENTIVENESS OUR PUPPY WOULD HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF SERIOUS FOR LACK OF SANITATION & MALPRACTICE.--CON: Sketchy, dont know what they are doing with these high DONATIONS--CON:The owner, Dawn is extremely careless and negligent.--PRO: We got our cute puppy, and they actually feed them decent puppy food. He did not have worms or fleas.OUR PUPPY WAS WAY WAY WAY YOUNGER THAN THEY SAID. THEY NEUTER AND VACCINATE WAY TOO EARLY! They said he was 3 months old when he was no more than 7 weeks!!!!!*CONCLUSION* If you do go with Fur Baby, TAKE YOUR PUPPY TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY bite the bullet, open a pet care plan & go through a legitimate facility for vacc/neuter/chip. Do not trust this place!

Fur Babys is a wonderful place where you can adopt a pet. They truly want to help and care for the animals. The staff is very nice and respectful. I love fur babys

We had a pleasant experience adopting our Akita mix. The people that work there are very good and caring people. Did the vet check up the day we picked up our little one, relatively painless process at the vet, I might just opt for another vet doing it to being a little far from where we live.

I always support rescues. This us one of the good ones.

Very friendly and helpfulLooking forward to adopt another pet from them

Nice People

No one answered my phone call :/

We adopted a little girl pup here one month ago. She was about 12 weeks old when we got her the best they could tell. Both the vets weve seen with her so far said that theyve heard nothing but great things about Fur Baby, and said that it looked like they did a great job with our little girl.The adoption fees included some of her vaccines, an initial vet appointment, and her spay which is coming up in a month or so.

The price is way too high, I adopted my dog for about $500. And the owner has a really nasty attitude. she was nice before I paid but after, she had a totally different personality.

They never called me back

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Helped me adopt a little companion for my mom. Shes very happy with her little kid 🐕

Great Place! We adopted our puppy here. Its a terrific rescue.

I adopted my puppy there 3 years ago and I still remember what a wonderful and loving hole in the wall this is. This is THE place for puppy adoption. :)

This place was so amazing it was welcoming I was able to play with the cats and see a few puppys the animals were so happy and it seems they really do care for them a lot overall it was a great experience Im definitely going back 😊💗

They help animals that are in need of love and care. They are Gods creations as well.

I love all rescues

Great experience adopting a cat.

I recently adopted my little girl from Fur baby. I can say this lady does an amazing job making sure the puppys go to homes that are going to do right by the pet. Adoption cost included her puppy shots that you bring them back for each, the spay/neuter, chip implant, so right there that is 100% reasonable to adopt a pup. I have a cat at home so I was hesitante about bringing a dog home. She said lets see if it will be a good fit. And placed a cat in with her (Monkey had zero puppy fear, lol been there done that) . I was super happy to see she had no intrest in the cat. My new fur baby has no human fear and so I believe she was treated right prior to me adopting. Yes, it took her 5 minutes to come to the door, but hey she was probly dealing with something.

Worst customer service.

They have the best people at Fur Baby.😺 They also have kittens available for adoption.

The ladies that work there are very nice,kind, helpful and generous. I loved my visit there☺☺

They had never treated the stray baby kitten who has been suffering for a long time. Now this is called bad serving.

Dawn is the best she really takes her time with you and truly loves the animals

ADORABLE puppies and kittens for adoption. Parking is a pain, and finding the entrance is even more of a pain so get ready to yell into any windows and doors because their phone just rings rings and rings if you try to call. Adoption fees can be a bit pricy but its mostly to cover vaccinations and vet visits

Really $500 for a dog! I got my other lil baby puppy for $78 at a real animal shelter they are bassicaly just selling the dogs for money. I do not recommend this place poor animals being used for money and really do a house check! This place is unbelievable! Staff is ok not really helpful. 1 star never coming again

The owner is a mean, nasty lady, she handles the dogs so roughly. I went there and she saw that I wasnt white and she had the most disgusted look on her face. I wouldnt go there again.

We love our Hippo. Fur baby rescue is a wonderful organization.

Got my baby Labrador Pitt. They were very helpful and gave me lots of advice

Overpriced Puppies with no paperwork or history. Must make appointment to visit animal house.

Dawn Vargas is a wonderful woman who really cares about her animals

If you arent white you will get the worst attitude and service ever , my girlfriend and I are hispanic and we have been wanting to adopt a dog for such a long time , we thought we were lucky enough to stumble across Fur Baby Rescue and make our dreams come true , when we entered the facility we fell in love with a beautiful husky named frosty before telling the owner of the shop we wanted to adopt and pay the $450 upfront, we had to wait for two other customers (all white) to finish their adoption process for their new puppies. Once it came down to our turn to try and get our process started the owner was so rude and asked me what did I do for a living , then asked me if she can do a home search to see how i live , not once did i hear her ask the other people the questions she was asking me , she let them basically pick a dog , sign paperwork, pay and boom .. the dog was theirs, but for me and my girlfriend she wanted to know where was the dog going to be indoors or outdoors, she also said that she had a problem with us taking the dog for adoption and that we were wasting her time by talking to her and that she didnt want our dog to be sent to a home located in South Central, LA . I dont know what type of people she thinks we are but why would we pay almost $500 for a puppy and waste more money on the dogs utilities if we were going to mistreat him? never in my life faced a form of racism in my life till I stepped my foot inside Fur Baby Rescue .

To expensive for me and they had no recommendations for a person trying to get into hospice, and wont go until she knows her dog is going to be taken care.. they seem to be quite heartless to me..

It was a amazing experience the people there were really friendly and very kind!!!

They responded on short notice,but they arent easy to reach by phone.

Price for adoption are to expensive, almost like making business with those animals...

Wonderful experience from start to finish.

Do you have to make an appointment to see or try to adopt a pet?

Horrible place , horrible service , poor puppies need a new home but sold for such a high priceThe owner is an ugly ,grumpy, old lady . Such a gross place

If the puppies need a new home ASAP, then why does the adoptor have to pay up to 500 for the dog? Doesnt the adoption fee have to be an affordable price?

Awesome place!

Lady was so rude really rude didnt really like that place

They lie about the dogs age, they said the dog I was adopting was 3 months, but when i took it to the vet, they said that it was actually 2 years old and that the dog was just small in size.

Thanks to Fur baby rescue saves hundreds of pool animals

Cats and dogs for you!

Adopted my fur baby from here

If youre serious about adopting a puppy this is the only place to go

This place is horrible the lady is very rude and just hung up in my face

Compassion

Bomb ass females
