Home At Last Dog Rescue

READ BEFORE CONSIDERING TO ADOPT A PUPPY! Home At Last Dog Rescue spayed my Heeler/Golden Retriever mix at just 10 weeks old—well before the age recommended for large breed dogs. I adopted her at 11 weeks and only learned she had already been sterilized when a volunteer casually said as I was leaving, “Keep an eye on her incision. She was spayed Thursday.” As a result, she now suffers from urinary incontinence, leaking urine while sleeping, requiring lifelong medication, repeat diagnostics, and possibly surgery. This is not an unpredictable outcome—it’s a well-documented risk of early spaying in large breeds. Each puppy’s profile under one year old should clearly state that the dog will be spayed or neutered before adoption. That simple line might alert someone that the procedure is happ

I submitted an application and inquired about a dog a few months ago. I never leave reviews of places, but it keeps coming back to me so I feel the need to. I received such a rude response back with questions about my answers on the application. They made no sense and gave me such a bad vibe that I never responded or tried again to rescue a dog from here. I just looked back, and the person who responded was named Stacey and I hate to leave a negative review based on the experience of one person fostering for this rescue, but it left such a bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t end up adopting my puppy from this rescue, which is a shame because she’s a happy gal living her best life now! But I hope all the good girls and boys at this rescue also went to good places. Just looking at my happy gir

Honestly, don’t waste your time with this rescue. We had one foster who was not straightforward with her intention with the dog that we were interested in. She led us on for weeks that we would be able just to meet the dog. As the time got closer, she kept coming up with reasons why we’re not able to meet the puppy, even after she noted that we would be a good fit for them. And when we tried to seek to meet another dog that we had interest in the fosters did not get back to us for more than a month and a half. There are so many other local rescues that I would rather give money to than a place that has this high of a price point for a rescue dog, lack of transparency, and lack of communication.

We adopted a poodle mix and he is a lovable little guy. He has lots of personality and energy. He’s only five months old and great with children. We changed his name to Ollie because we couldn’t pronounce the one he had lol. We hit the jackpot with him.

We adopted our dog from HAL and it was a great experience. We've now had her for 4+ months and it's been amazing to see the adolescent dog that she has flourished into. This was our first time adopting and our first time owning a dog. It can be a bit overwhelming if you don't do your research but HAL gave us all of the necessary information and made this process as seamless as possible. Also, be mindful that you need to be ready to dedicate the appropriate amount of time/resources to this rescue animal when you bring them home. We were able to potty and crate train our pup early on because we were VERY consistent. We socialized her to sights/sounds and gave her a routine which made her transition to apartment and city living really smooth. We are forever thankful for HAL giving us our g
