Patti and the rest of her crew are not only awesome but are doing a great cause trying to get these fur babies into their forever homes. They give you as much info as possible that they know about the puppy/ dog. I found their facility clean and organized.We just adopted Dokota (Avery). She’s settling in awesomely .. A great experience the almost 2 hour drive was well worth it!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the RAWL rescue! Patti and Marie are so devoted and dedicated to providing the best care for all these babies in need of homes! They work at finding the best home for each dogs individual needs and the family looking to adopt needs. We have Three RAWL pups and I know we will be adopting more from RAWL in the future!❤️💕

My husband and I agreed it was the right time to add a puppy to the family. After searching mostly around Virginia, we came across an adorable puppy online. Filled out an application and sent it in online and crossed out fingers. I was contacted to schedule a meet and greet. The staff at this facility is not only inviting and very nice, but they truly care for their animals. I couldn’t respect what they do at this rescue more. Our puppy (whom we haven’t settled on a name yet) is settling in right at home. She was spayed, up to date on all shots, microchipped, and sent home with a collar, leash, and fluffy dog bed. She even gave us a towel for the ride home just in case of an accident. I will 100% recommend this rescue to anyone who is looking into rescuing a dog. Thank you all!! Thank you thank you!!!!!!!

We got our sweet boy Dino a husky/beagle mix 11 yrs. ago. Patti and all the volunteers go out of their way to give care & LOVE to all the animals. Our sweet boy passed away a week ago and we are absolutely heartbroken. If we ever decide to get another dog we will definitely go here.

RAWL was everything we could have asked for in an adoption process. They were transparent and courteous about everything, which was especially appreciated under the circumstances of COVID—19. It is so clear that Patti and the rest of the team at RAWL care deeply about their work and we are so thankful to them.
