| - I'm conflicted on how to review this animal rescue. I would never want to discourage anyone from adopting a dog from a rescue, and would like to continue to see dogs get adopted out from here to good, loving homes. That being said, this animal rescue made me very sad. The dogs are residing in absolute filth. The pens, that hold about 10-15 dogs collectively are soiled, wet with urine, mud, and who knows what else. Even the floors in the main hallway are covered with filth. The smell when you walk in is assaulting to your senses. The conditions are like no other rescue/shelter I've ever been to before. We DID end up adopting a dog because we felt horrible to leave without saving one, and we are very happy with him but we're working on getting him healthy. Instead of telling you not to adopt a dog from here, I would almost urge you to so they are in a better environment. The rescue is doing a good thing, but going about it very poorly. The woman seemingly in charge is abrupt, rude and arrogant. I guess I expected someone oozing with compassion, and she is far from that. She was actually amoung the rudest people I've encountered in recent memory. They don't answer the phone with any indication that it's an animal rescue, and then snapped on me when I asked if I had reached the correct line. They don't greet you with any sort of friendliness when you arrive, but I guess that's not what they're there for. Perhaps they could at least clean the pens so these poor dogs who have all been through tremendous hardships could lay their heads down on a clean, albeit cold, tile floor. Just very sad.
