wouldn’t let me adopt a cat because i’m 18 and not 21, despite having my own house and a larger income than most 21 year olds, as well as multiple years of experience owning pets. This place clearly doesn’t want their cats to find homes quickly and it’s sad that they’re declining perfectly good homes.
Dear Anna! My husband and I showed a great amount of interest in adopting a dog and have been waiting a month now for you to call our references and to come to our house for the house inspection. You have ghosted us and will not return our emails. We have no other way to contact you. You lack communication skills and we have adopted else where because of you. You shouldn't be a foster for the SPCA if you can't give the dogs away. Or at least learn how to communicate better.
There's a correction about this I have never visited this place I called inquiring about adoption answered all my questions with love and compassion, another great place to adopt
Unlike the previous post, I was the foster that ended up taking this “viscous “ pup onto my care from the previous foster. Some people take fostering on without really knowing what they are doing, such as the previous foster. Inexperienced, children that didn’t know boundaries, “perfect” expectations from a pup taken out of a traumatic situation in the first 24hours, very UNREALISTIC!! In working with this pup I naturally had not only one but two families that didn’t have the understanding for what was needed. Naturally week one was an adjustment period for ALL of us. Into the following weeks the pup went from being fearful, fear biting not being able to be handled turned into a HUGE cuddle bug and shadow!! She has since been adopted to a loving family and fur brother, is doing FANTASTIC and is loved beyond words!! Oxford County Animal Rescue volunteers work tirelessly, many thankless hours, have cried many tears at when an animal is lost after many efforts to save it. Cried tears of joy when they are able to adopt an animal into their forever home. Are the idiots? NO. Are they PERFECT? NO. Will they do whatever is necessary to help animals YES!! I would recommend this rescue 110%!!
I am certainly not surprised to see that OCAR has flagged my photo of an offensive remark made by text message when speaking with Anna Holmes, a member of their organization. An organization that is relying on the community for support and donations would definitely not want the public to read such an offensive remark, so derogatory towards any person/persons who have a family member or friend that suffer from a mental illness. My personal experience with Anna is one of, as soon as you don't allow her to disrespect you, it was easy for her to define me as difficult, crazy, or in her words; "I was in need of a medication change." This particular conversation, I was looking for help with a sick/abandoned cat. OCAR was at full capacity, and that was fine. I then asked her for a suggestion of another rescue that may be able to help. Which she replied...."Google it." I do not discredit the hard work, time, and love that any volunteer, fundraiser, or foster home with OCAR, puts towards finding homes for animals in need. This bad review is simply for any potential adopter/fosters to be aware that when communicating with her, she has zero public relations skills. Let's hope she is better with animals than she is with people.
