The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County — Attraction in Lake Forest

I found a sweet dog in this website and I wanted to adopt her. I wanted to adopt and save this sweet dog. I filled out adopt application and I got responded on same day. We decided to meet with sweet dog and foster mom. She was very nice. I had my dog with me dogs seems to know each other. Dog was very sweet with me too. After dogs meet, we walked and asked some questions. Dogs started to play together, running around, how happy they were. She told us that I am perfectly fits to the sweet dog. I was very excited. She wanted to take a video she is playing with my dog and running around together Also they are very cute together. I have never met April and she wasn’t there to meet us. After she saw the video, she sent me the most rude, awful and insulted emails. On top of that she makes every reason of me very negative way. She was upset of my husband wasn’t there and didn’t tell her. Is that make that I am awful human being? I told her I didn’t mean and I apologized for her. My apology was nothing to her. I had a coffee mug, is that make me not serious about dog? Foster mom wishes she had a longer leash. I had a longer leash. Is that make I am not controlling my dog? When I train the dog I keep the leash short and keep close to me. It wasn’t the case that day. I can say on and on …. I am a dogs lover, I had many dogs in a past, they were all family to me. I love dogs and all dogs loves me. Nobody in my life treats me awful like April. I worry that how she is treating dogs and pets at that center. I feel very bad and sad for dogs and pets at this center. It’s not their fault being there. All dogs and pets deserve to go forever loving home. April needs to learn how to treat people nicely and respectful. It’s a Customer Service. I am still thinking of sweet dog and I want to adopt her. But I can’t because of April. ...

The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County graciously, professionally and expertly rescued my puppy. 2 months ago we adopted a sweet young pup and just a month later had a very unfortunate and severe medical event occur in our household. Shortly thereafter we began to realize that our little pup deserved much better. After being turned away by a few shelters I found April the owner or CEO or whatever you appropriately refer to the expert head of a not for profit as. She's that and more. She's basically available by phone 24/7. Always calm cool and collected. Never speaks poorly of anyone. Seeks to always choose the right way, do it by the books and be fair. She leads with her heart and brain together. I see this trickle down to all the volunteers involved in the rescue in such a positive way. These animals are well loved and cared for, always. Do not hesitate to place a rescue animal with or adopt from this...

I give this organization a 1 star because they make it incredibly hard to adopt small or medium sized dog. First, you can’t see a dog without filling out an application and then you have to be approved to be able to set up an appointment to see 1 specific dog. My applications have been rejected twice for trying to see a puppy due to the fact that I didn’t already have another dog in my home for my the puppy to play with. They will reject you if you live in a spacious apartment and don’t have a yard for the small dog. At this point I don’t think they care to find these poor dogs living in shelter or with foster parents an actually good loving home. You have to either agree to adopt two dogs or move to a house just to adopt any dog. I think the people running this organization should be ashamed of themselves for rejecting tons of potential loving homes for...
