Loving Arms Animal Rescue & Adoption

About 5 years ago, I adopted a wonderful, beautiful, loving dog from them. I paid the $ 300 fee, which my work would have matched had they ever responded to their requests to confirm I actually paid. When I contacted them interested in adopting, I had a hard time getting a response, and when we finally set up to meet she was late. I had a similar experience to the other reviewers except (and this is where the extra star comes in) she was potty trained and even knew some basic commands. However, she was NOT dewormed. She actively had worms when we got her. Now reading the other reviews I’m a little worried she’s not actually fixed either. I never questioned that, but I’ve seen no proof at all she is (no hint of scar even). Kind of bad when Unilocal reviews make you wonder about this 5 years later, but luckily she’s not one to let boy dogs come up behind her without getting a good smack down.

Ironically, I had the nearly SAME experience with LOVING ARMS as the other poster/​reviewer who posted below! We got a nice dog from this «Rescue», but it is obvious she is not potty trained like they said, and I absolutely wanted a dog that was already potty trained. (Had I wanted to potty train, I would have chosen a puppy!!.) Disappointed in their lack of honesty and overall experience. To be honest, I have a lot of doubts/​questions about ethics going on.

Although we adopted a wonderful dog, I would not recommend Loving Arms Animal Rescue to adopt from. Go to the Humane Society or a pound instead. Loving Arms staff stated that the dog was potty trained [newspaper] and dewormed, and less than one week later we discovered neither was true. Although they are offering to deworm her again, I feel like they were not honest. In addition, we paid $ 300 — which did not cover her additional shots/​vaccinations. Humane Society always takes care of this. Oh well, lesson learned. Great dog though. :)
