Very nice helpful rescue. You get to have a sleep over period of 2 weeks before deciding if it is a good fit for you and the dog before adopting. They are very helpful about any health problems that the dog may have. I just met Odie yesterday and he is adjusting wonderfully. A few bathroom issues but he's learning to go outside. It's all new to him.

Be prepared to have your heart broken by the owner, Rick Hollander. We met the team from the Shelter at a Pet Fair and absolutely fell in love with one of the dogs. We described our situation and expectations for our new fur baby. We asked if the dog is okay to be left alone for a few hours (so the dog is meant to be alone for 4 hours total on 2-3 days a week). When the dog is alone, he would be in the backyard, free to lounge or sunbath. At night we talked about having him crated for the first couple of weeks, in a room outside in the yard, right next to our bedroom (photo attached). The room is quite large (12ft x 15ft), tiled floors, has a window for light and ventilation, very clean. We were clear and up front about this with the team from the get go. We were always genuine in our conversations, in our application, in our behavior and in our intentions. We had a sleepover with the dog (let's call him Apollo) after our application was approved by Rick Hollander. He later claimed he didn't know about the room (or "shed") or that we would have the dog outside. By the way, Apollo is a large, outdoor breed dog about 1.5 years old. We had a home inspection by them as well (the foster mum) and no one until this point had any issues. Everything was fine. After the first couple of days of Apollo sleeping in the room outside, we realized this wasn't working and we moved his crate in our living room where we made space for him. Apollo and we were happier with this arrangement. Rick sent me a message 5 days after the sleepover began, saying that he heard we were "crating the dog in a shed in the backyard" and this isn't okay with them and he wouldn't have approved the application. He had waited this long to contact me to talk to me about this, when it could have been prevented when we first had the conversation to adopt Apollo. Rick's expectation was the large outdoor breed should be inside, and someone with him 24/7. This was never mentioned before. I told him that we did have him in the "shed" outside, but we don't anymore and he is with us in the house. We never hid this from the first time we showed intention to adopt, but Rick doesn't believe in second chances and it was too late by this time. Rick was adamant that he wanted someone who had "experience working with the breed". I have had a number of large dog pets, including this breed as well. I intended to arrange classes and training with Apollo for this, and to socialise with him as well. Rick saw this as not having "experience with the breed". I requested Rick to meet us and see our home. Rick's response was simply "I am not interested in seeing your home". I pleaded with him, what would it take to make things work. However, he had made up his mind with a pre-conceived idea that we were inhumane and cruel people. He saw our actions as 'trying to show the dog who's alpha". There was never any intention of showing Apollo who is in charge - we are not primitive or savages. I told Rick multiple times that if he had said to us before the sleepover even began, having Apollo sleep outside in the "shed" will not work, Apollo would never slept in the "shed". Straight and simple. Rick has not seen our home yet or how Apollo is living with us how we interacted with each other or anything. We had a set schedule to take him for his walk, 2-3 times a day. I took him running with me as well. We introduced him to our friends and family. Apollo had become a part of our family by this point. Rick came to our home on the 6th day of the sleepover, he was rude and arrogant, showed no sympathy or empathy. He was VERBALLY ABUSIVE to my wife and sister-in-law, EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL in his conversations, attitude and behavior. My wife was in tears and Rick only smirked and laughed thinking it's a joke taking a family member away. We definitely DO NOT recommend this shelter to our friends, family or anyone else. The owner, Rick Hollander was verbally abusive, unprofessional, unsympathetic and rude.
