It was amazing in one week I was able to bring my new rescue Glory home. Sarah quickly went over my application and did everything that was needed in order for me to take this gorgeous, rambunctious. Inquisitive and most of all loving being into my world. I do believe. In addition Sarah efficiently went through the myriad information that I needed in order to successfully complete the adoption process, and she was so kind and compassionate which helped with my nervousness. So far Glory has taken well to her brand new crate and home. She loves climbing onto my lap and cuddling until we are ready for bedtime. Her appetite is great. Her tail is near constantly wagging. I know this is a stressful situation when leaving the shelter but it's just the two of us at home so hopefully the transition is relatively low key .I made her first veterinarian appointment as a permanent member of my home. Thank you, Sarah and Little Guild for giving me the opportunity to love and care for this special dog. I will treasure, protect, and fiercely love and support my Glory. Shout out to Casey the day of the rescue fair at Morris Town Beach for being so friendly and encouraging.

My experience was wonderful and I am going to recommend it to my family and friends.From the inquiry to the visit and taking home my newest member of my family has been truly assume. The facility was clean and inviting.Your crew was GREAT!!! I am all about customer service and they all had it. Cassidy was OUTSTANDING. Don't lose her. She is a keeper!!!I highly recommend Little Guild of St. Francis!!

The shelter itself and the staff there were nice enough but trying to actually adopt an animal was a stressful and poor experience. My partner and I put great care into our application, provided references, vet records and made sure our current pets were healthy and up to date on everything. I was constantly following up with little to no communication. We offered a home visit multiple times to put any concerns at ease. I last heard back almost 3 weeks ago with no answer whatsoever. We found another rescue who matched us with a perfect pet that now has a forever home.

Absolutely love this rescue. I called the rescue and Alex answered all my questions. I went the next day and saw the dogs available for adoption and right from the beginning I was welcomed with hello and welcome and smiles from the friendly staff. While having time with a few dogs the staff members answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable while spending time with the dogs. They also had no problem bringing out a few dogs at different times for me spend time with. Also I have to say this rescue is very very clean and the animals are very well taken care of and loved by the staff. If you are looking for a dog or cat to rescue please go here you will not be disappointed going here.

Fantastic caring staff nice facility. We took 6 dogs up there from Georgia and got full tours after hours. We hated the route in (Dog tail Corner) and one of the helpers named Ed not only took the time to write detailed directions to get back a better safer way, He also had us follow him to a certain point so our GPS Could not take us down the other way. Very nice people. Look forward to working with them again in the very newer future.Your care for the dogs/cats shows plus y’all cared about us too getting back safely. That says a lot to me. Keep up the great work.

My family and I adopted a cat from The Little Guild shortly before Thanksgiving. The entire experience was just so heartwarming and wonderful. The staff is exemplary, the facilities are so clean and the adoption process is very thorough. Just the fact that all references including your history with your current pets vet are checked is enough to make us adopt from the Guild again. Bo, the cat who we adopted could not be happier. We are so glad to have him as part of our family. Thank you Little Guild!!!

The animals at the Little Guild are all amazing- I wish I could take them all home. The animals are well taken care of. Everything is very clean and the staff are fantastic. They spent a lot of time helping me find the perfect new best friend. Thank you Little Guild!!

We volunteer here on occasion. It's a great place. Clean and the animals are well kept. I'd recommend volunteering to anyone. There are no requirements for how often you go. You can help clean, walk dogs, or just hang out with kitties. Next time I rescue an animal, this place will be where I look first. They get to know the animals so well, they can really help guide adopters to a perfect match.

We are so happy we found our perfect addition to our family here at the Little Guild! We have had such a wonderful experience through the adoption process, from the beginning of the application to the day we brought our sweet Saraibi home! We have had her for a little over a week and she has seamlessly fit right in as if she has been here all along . Even our sceptical cat has warmed right up to her! They were caught sharing the couch yesterday! Saraibi is a very special girl. Were not sure of her circumstances that lead her to be put up for adoption, but I am grateful we have the opportunity to share her second chance! She has such a lively personality and beautiful mannerism. She is polite and mindful, walks very well on a leash, and does the funniest little dance when vying for treats! She has received the best care from all the wonderful staff there and it shows. We will give her the best life we possibly can!

This place really is a life saver. I had to take my beloved cat in because she needed to have surgery I couldn't afford to provide myself. I had to surrender her to get the help she needed. At the end of the day, its what's best for my friend, and I wanted her to have a chance at a healthier future with someone who could afford her care, if she needed it again.The ladies were very kind and understanding and helped to make, what still is a tear provoking, sadness within me easier to get through

I had done some volunteering at The Little Guild during my externship as a dog trainer. They rescue dogs that really have the ability to be beloved pets.Like many rescue organizations, there is never enough resources. They optimize everything that comes their way and from what I have seen it is a clean and professional rescue facility.Please check out their website to see what dogs & cats they have available as adopting 1 can save 2! One becomes the love of your life and another gets to have a spot to fill the vacancy.

My brother had passed away and we could not find, no matter how hard we tried a home for his dog. Everyone that we knew either had dogs or could not have dogs where they lived. The little Guild took him in and I felt comfortable that they would find a good home for him.

I've volunteered a few times here and I have to say that if I were looking to adopt a dog or cat, this is the first place I would visit. The staff and the volunteers really care about each and every animal; the place is spotless, and the animals all show that they are comfortable and well-treated. Highly recommended!!!

My family was excited to get a dog they would not give us the dog we wanted. Broke my 10 year olds heart😞 Staff was rude to boot. Going to the pound. The people that work there need to work on people skills.

since I got my first cat there almost 20 years ago, I've been telling anyone I know about you. He had to be put to sleep back in July but I have many, many fond memories of him.
