Just wanted to let you know I read this article because I was interested in adopting a dog from Casa Dog.
Because of your advice I asked to see the health certificate signed by a vet, the shots records and a current picture of a dog that was coming in from Mexico. I was more or less told that was not available to me and if I don’t want the dog they will move on to another family.
I feel like I dodged a bullet. Thanks for the education.

Thank you for all that you’re doing to bring attention to these so-called “pet adoption agencies”.

The fees they’re asking for dogs that are literally taken off the street of Mexico is astronomical. I’m not against people making some money on top of their efforts because they need too that’s how you stay afloat as a charity.

My issue is the underage dogs and false advertising that these dogs are fine with other dogs and people etc and then not picking up the phone when there’s a problem.

Those are all of the reasons why I have issue with them calling themselves a charity. A good charity looks out for that animal even after they’ve adopted it out. Especially if there’s an issue they should gladly take it back and rehome it..Not avoid answering the phone.

In reply to KS. I’m so glad you commented. She’s very unprofessional and makes it hard to leave reviews. She is a bully and uses scare tactics to convince people she’s going to come after them with lawyers.

We did a trial adoption with a sick puppy that was clearly not only weaned too early, but exhibited all the indicators of having parvo. We took her back early and they tried to blame us for it. The puppy had wicked diarrhea before we even fed her. I had a hunch this operative was shady. $600 for a rescue and get stuck with an imminent vet bill off the bat? I don’t think so. I firmly let them know she needs to be checked out RIGHT AWAY.

In reply to Kate. I'm so sorry. Yes, file a complaint with the AG. Dogs are legally considered property in WA so, although it sounds awful, they sold you a defective product.

Recently adopted a dog from here and after I paid for her communication completely ceased to exist. I have repeatedly asked for her microchip number and to have a spay appointment set up (which is included in the adoption fee). It’s been over a week and I’ve received zero communication. I’m almost ready to file a consumer complaint with the ATG’s office. Three days into the adoption trial my dog became sick and I was repeatedly told to “wait and see” several days before given medicine for her, even though she was clearly getting worse not better. This rescue is irresponsible at best and negligent at worst.

In reply to RPregulman. Oh gosh, we went into all that early last year. It would take some digging to find again. However Mutt Mutt stated that they don’t bring them across for anyone specific yet bring them across and take them directly to various rescues. Probably so the rescues can’t be held liable for getting the underage puppies?

In reply to AS. Is there evidence of this?

As previously mentioned to you, Sunny Sky’s in Puyallup also does this with the help of Mutt Mutt Rescue to get them across the border and to Washington. I wonder if Casa Dog is also getting them via Mutt Mutt.

I adopted a dog who they claimed was friendly to all people and animals. This dog was good aggressive and almost killed my first dog that I have had for years, grabbing its neck and shaking it. When I called after a few months saying I needed help and had to give her back, the rescue head Bobbi literally said “you’re sad? It doesn’t sound like it youre not crying” and was so unprofessional
