Little Angels Dog Rescue - St David, Arizona

I’d like to share my experience with this rescue group. First, it’s commendable that they are finding homes for all these abandoned pets. However, I feel like I’m being shamed for having to return a dog that didn’t get along with my own. I’ve seen online claims that I returned the dog due to her “puppy energy” and should be blacklisted. This is 100% untrue. When I met the dog, I specifically asked if I could contact them if the dog didn’t get along with my own, and they seemed understanding at the time. I also completed a questionnaire asking about “deal breakers,” one of which was if the dog didn’t get along with our current pet.

Once the dog settled in, she began showing very dominant behavior, such as pinning my dog down by the neck and not letting go. I became concerned that if my dog ever fought back, it could result in a serious fight. After about six days, I realized it wasn’t going to work out. I texted the foster, Robin, in the morning about my concerns, but she ignored my texts. When she finally called me in the evening, her only response was about taking both of my dogs to training. When I met up with her to return the dog, she gave me a disapproving look as if I were a terrible person.

I’ve adopted animals from various rescue groups before and have never had to return a dog until now. Each rescue I’ve worked with has emphasized that if a new dog doesn’t get along with your current pet, you should let them know. I believe this is a real issue—some dogs simply don’t get along, and that’s okay. I’ve worked at a vet clinic for over 10 years and am familiar with the many reasons pets are returned to shelters. I did not return this dog simply for being a puppy, and it saddens me that this is the narrative being painted. I also find it concerning that they are immediately claiming the dog loves other dogs. While that might be true in some cases, it was not my experience.

We foster failed our first puppy from Little Angels at an adoption event. They made the process very easy to foster with a simple online application, and the staff were extremely nice and knowledgeable about thier puppies. When we decided to adopt they provided all his documents and microchip information within minutes. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a small dog!

I adopted 2 little fur babies from little angels dog rescue. One was a little old man, one was a 9 week old puppy. Both were very social with people and animals, when most shelters and rescues never try to make the dogs comfortable or try to work with any behavioral issues. This rescue is very big on the save all lives no matter the circumstances, which I support heavily. So I’m going to continue to go through them because they are very nice, respectful people. They are very helpful if you need help on there website, picking a dog, any tips and tricks to help a dog get comfortable. The prices are reasonable because they make sure you are the best for the dog and the dog is the best for you. I 100% recommend and support them fully.

Upon looking for a new puppy to be apart of our family...I was extremely nervous of many things such as scams or sick/mis treated pups. Vanessa with Littleangelsdogrescue was just amazing. So incredible helpful with my million questions. They truly take pride and love each and every dog they have! This was our first time doing rescue and I must say I am so so so happy we did. Our new little girl is just amazing and Vanessa continues to assist and follow her progress. Her foster mom was also very amazing and helpful. I couldn't be more pleased with the company and what they provide. I commend them for what they do for all the pups out there. If you're looking to rescue please go with littleangelsdogrescue you won't be disappointed!

I saw Rosie on our Nextdoor app and my heart sank. Thank you Marissa B. for posting Rosie. She was e-listed at MCACC for having mammary masses. Little Angels Dog Rescue wanted to help her get the medical care she needed but also needed a foster. We picked her up on Oct.3. My first time fostering. I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful this amazing rescue is. Between Marissa B., Robin and Vanessa driving her for her medical care and taking care of her right after her surgery and bringing her back to me. Rosie had bloodwork, masses removed and biopsies done, spayed and a dental cleaning. Little Angels had all this done for Rosie. Wow! Her pathology report was negative for her biopsies.? They answered all phone calls, questions, sent supplies, so supportive every step of the way. I was never alone fostering with this amazing rescue. We have adopted Rosie Crask and she is as sweet as can be, loyal, and such a blessing to be part of our family. I know Rosie wouldn’t be here today if not for the love and care from Little Angels Dog Rescue. Thank you! ?❤️? The Crask Family

I absolutely adore this rescue. Not only do I foster for Vanessa, I also help where I can. I have included some of the pups I have fostered/still fostering.

I found two of my fur babies through this wonderful organization and have since gone on to foster several dogs. Highly recommend.
