Eleventh Hour Rescue

Madison Kazella

I submitted an application with my boyfriend of 3 years for a dog. We sent them family pets records as requested. They called all of our references, basically harassing them until they picked up the phone. Our references had really nice things to say, and were very outgoing about how a pet would be ideal for us. They called me to ask why I didn’t put in a cat adoption form, and I said I was open to both but we wanted a dog a little more. She suggested to put in an app for a cat because we’re a younger couple, and with work, that may be more ideal. She even said we were the “perfect couple” to do so. So we did. And we got denied. No one would tell us why. I called twice, emailed two different email addresses, and not one person could give me a valid response. We don’t even have a parking ticket to our background, I cannot imagine why we were denied. Not to mention, my small buisiness donated a percentage of its profits to this non-profit, the entire MONTH OF JUNE! AND— my family has already adopted from here. No excuse. No valid answers. Just BS. Will not be recommending this to anyone.

Several years ago, I filled out an application to become a volunteer. I never received a response. However, they took my information and began sending me requests for donations. It made me feel like they didn't want me to volunteer, they just wanted my money.

I should have read the reviews before wasting my time filling out the forms in detail with energy. I commend you for the work you try to do but this rescue is a joke. I personally think they pick and choose based on prior pets; meaning, if you do not have a current vet to confirm you’ve had a cat or dog in the past, they reject you. So basically, you can be a loving family, ready for a pet bc ur children are older, and they will automatically reject you if you do not have a former pet. I also want to add, that Claudia needs an attitude check. You shouldn’t be calling references without giving them an opportunity to speak. According to my former co worker, you were short and rude. Also, you should be reading applications fully not skimming through them bc if you would have read in detail the way I wrote in detail, you would have seen my prior pitbull experience and called ALL of my references, not just one. :) also, it’s important I state that I wasn’t denied. I simply stopped moving forward when they expected me to chase down a vet that I had 15+ years ago in NY. I’m currently working with a different rescue and waiting for my new pup. This rescue actually takes the time to interview families by phone/video call and not judging solely by a piece of paper/form. By the way; YOU guys lost out on a very loving, mature, responsible family for one of your pups in need all bc you’re short and judgmental from a piece of paper.

We foster dogs at 11th hour rescue and they are an amazing rescue. They always make sure their animals receive the proper care and vetting no matter what the cost. We recently fostered a dog that needed surgery and 11th Hour paid for her surgery, weekly rehabilitation and her custom leg brace. Their dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and any creature that comes into their rescue are priority and always come first.
