We recently adopted a Giant Schnauzer puppy from here. He's a wonderful dog. They are very well meaning people that care greatly about the animals....they however are not experts on dogs, their behavior or training. They appear to just be a group of very kind hearted women trying to make a difference in the lives on these creatures. Keep in mind most shelter workers aren't the most knowledgeable either - so if you are struggling with your new canine family member you should perhaps look into training in your area and do some research on your own. There are a lot of resources online to help with adapting shelter pups. Like any rescue it has it's pros and cons: Pros: Dogs were clean and healthy, the facility was well maintained and the process was easy. we actually ended up adopting the puppy they suggested over the one we originally wanted - He chose us. Cons: The adoption price is a bit high (but that's Pennsylvania problem), the puppy was on adult food and did not have the teeth for yet (he has a chicken allergy), and his hind legs were muscularly under developed due to crating. These are factors with any shelter or rescue system. these people do care greatly about the animals they help and the foster family have remained in contact for updates on his progress. The point of my review is so people understand that EVERY dog in a rescue situation will need extra care. They're all barely holding on until they find their forever home. There will be unforeseen hurdles and you should always vet any dog you adopt yourself immediately after bringing them home. I would recommend using Tractor Supply's walk in vet service for a check up upon adoption if you can't get your new family member into your regular vet immediately.

I adopted my pup from here and the foster family has been amazing- tons of information provided up front and they continue to provide boarding for my pooch while I travel for work. Any organization that rescues animals should be applauded. Thank you for the work that you do to provide loving homes for fur babies! My puppy, Astro, is absolutely the most perfect pup and I couldn't be happier. I am thankful that my neighbors recommended this organization to me

We found a wonderful dog here. They are a small rescue with huge hearts. Super friendly and not pushy. We went to meet a dog and we met with several as they were all young dogs/puppies, came out as a large group. The one we wanted was not a fit but another we did was. We were able to bring our dog for a meet and greet and we're told to stop by as much as we wanted. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for their next companion

It has been over a year now since I adopted jace from them, from the beginning steps to the ending process it was easy and comfortable. The staff is great and they are very helpful. I love the vision they have and I will always recommend anyone who wants to adopt to go there!! Thank you!

My parents adopted a dog from Davis Dog Farm, They’ve contact the farm several times before about behavioral issues with their dog. She’s an amazing dog on her own, but when other people come around she is scared. Their beloved dog bit someone today, and they called the farm to ask about options. Davis Dog Farm immediately recommended they euthanize her. They were devastated hearing that from a place that is suppose to be giving dogs a better life. Killing an animal should be after all other options are exhausted, not the first. If you’re looking to get a dog from here don’t look to them for any help after the fact.

See other absolutely ridiculous reviews on here that have to be either 1) sour grapes, 2) purposeful obfuscation, 3) misinterpretation, or 4) outright harmfulness. Davis rescued a puppy our family has now had for nearly a year. Yes, the dog has a few MINOR behavioral issues, but the nature of a rescue is that the dogs come from bad backgrounds and we are giving them a second chance at a good life. Just like humans, if the pups have suffered trauma, they will exhibit that at times. Davis has been nothing but good to my family and has maintained a really upbeat attitude in light of the recent negativity. God bless them for it.
