Went to an adoption event today, extremely unorganized, no clear direction on where to go and what to do. We had interest in a particular dog and the person in charge of this dog was kinda rude. We made sure to arrive early, we got our application in first. Had our meeting with the dog for 2 minutes before we were rushed along. Sat in the hot weather for an hour. While waiting we went to look at the other dogs, one of which was a puppy. I approached with my 3 year old. The foster mom told me in an extremely rude tone that "hes already been adopted so don't touch him". Then after waiting the dog we were applying for was announced it was going to another family with no explanation as to why we go passed up on. My husband overheard the woman saying she was going to choose the family by drawing a name out of a hat since there were so many applicants. I'm sad and disgusting I even went to such a show. My son was heartbroken, as am I. Ill never come to this place ever again!!!

I came to a lucky paws adoption event to look at a couple large dogs they have, as I am looking for an active companion animal. I have over 20 years experience raising and training German shepherds however, because I have only been in my new townhouse a month, they would not adopt to me as I’m not “established”. This would have been fine if I had been told, but I sat outside for TWO hours waiting to be called because no one bothered to inform me that my application had already been denied. When I questioned why I had not been informed and why this was a valid reason for refusal, one of the women running the event was extremely dismissive and rude. Just unbelievable to me. I am simply trying to find a companion animal and adopt a homeless dog and yet somehow I’m unworthy because I’ve only lived here a month, and I’m the rude person for questioning that rule? Poorly organized and poorly run.

First and foremost, don't believe all the bad reviews about this place. My families experience here was nothing if not professional. Any digging into the employees shows how much they love animals. There are 2 types of people who go to rescues for a pet. Type 1 doesn't understand that sometimes the breed of the dog is just an educated guess based on information available from third parties given to the rescue. Type 1 doesn't understand that getting a rescue is like buying a car "as-is" from a used car lot. Sometimes the rescue CAN'T know everything. Type 2 understands these things, and have left reviews showing such. They are thankful for all the time volunteers have to put into this thing, because people like the Type 1 visitor wind up "returning" the animal one way or another. A majority of bad reviews on products can be easily explained by the end user not understanding the product. That holds true to other applications. I urge anyone reading this to look past the negative reviews, and take a rescue home and give it another chance at life that it would otherwise never have had, if not for people like the good folk at Lucky Paws Rescue.

This organization does adopt out some wonderful dogs. My sister has a lovely dog she got from this rescue that we adore. However, they are adopting out a dog that is aggressive and has a history of biting randomly. My family returned the dog hoping they would have a professional training work with her or a family that wants an outside only dog. In the post they write the dog isn't aggressive, when they know otherwise. We won't adopt from this organization in the future.
