. "I wish I had read the reviews before I adopted a dog from HALO rescue. They told me the dog was 3 years old. My Vet says she is over 6 years old. The dog had a slight cough and the lady at HALO said it was probably allergies. Well, by the next day the poor dog was coughing horribly. I took her to my Vet and discovered that she has pneumonia which was caused by an untreated Kennel Cough. How can a \"no kill\" shelter leave the animals so sick? And why do they lie about the age other than to get the animal out of there. I specifically told them that I needed a dog between the ages of 1 and 3. Call you vet before you adopt a pet to find a good shelter that truly cares about the animals. This place only cares about getting them out of there.\nWhen I contacted the HALO facility about returning the animal they did not respond either time. Guess they know they are guilty of mistreating the animals. \nMy next move is to contact the ASPCA to have them investigate this facility. \nShame on HALO."^^ . . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ .
