Description of service

My mother and father told us about a rescue center for abused Dalmatians. We have been looking for a dog for the family and this was a great way for us to get a dog that needed a home. We was able to go and see the dogs and play with them to make sure that the dog was good with the kids. The rescue center had a yard that the kids was able to take the dog out and run around with it and to see how they played together. The total adoption fee was $65 and that included his shots and tags and a big bag of food for the dog.


Review of Service

We was very pleased with the service we got. The rescue center was very nice and the dogs there was well taken care of. All the dogs cages had been cleaned out, along with the dogs getting their monthly baths. Some of the dogs there had already been adopted but just waiting for the new families to come get them. We was able to see all the dogs and play with them. The kids got to give out treats to the dogs. The men at the center was very nice and very helpful. They had been able to tell us what had happen to the dogs we was looking at and the one that we ended up getting.


Tips

There are lots of different places to get a dog. You can go to a rescue center or a pound. Going to the pound should be the first place you look for a dog or a puppy. You never know what you will find unless you go and look. There are good dogs there looking for someone to love them and give them a good home. Adopting from the pound or a center for dogs you really do not have to worry about getting a sick dog. They are well taken care of while they are there and also gets shots if needed. All animals that you get from a pound are fixed and healthy.
