called for help and the lady was rude! didn't answer with a smile, didn't answer with the business name. talked to me like she didn't have time to help me. she gave me two places that could possibly help me, I asked for contact information (since she knew the names I assumed they worked together) told me no and then hung up!! whoever answered that phone SHOULD NOT be talking to customers!!!!

I literally called this lady this morning in hopes of possibly getting a lead for rehoming our dog due to having a baby and the dog just not adjusting to him. She was very rude and I told her I didn’t feel comfortable with her finding a place for my dog and she replied Im a trainer B$&@?”And then hung up the phone!! I couldn’t believe it, it was the first time I called her and the call lasted literally 3 seconds. I am completely dumbfounded.. anybody had any similar experience? I can’t believe this just happened

Penny is a wonderful human being, extremely caring for her fur babies. We just adopted Dooblay and are in love, it was a good match for us and Dooblay, he is a wonderful dog! Penny was very thorough, which we appreciate, she could sense we are good parents to animals, we all got along great. Thank you Penny for what you do and Dooblay thanks you too ??

I rescued 2 huskies who were running in traffic and while I couldn’t take them in myself, was committed to helping them find a good home. Weeks passed and I was losing hope until Penny (from Dally’s) drove over 2 hours to get them. She is connecting them with a foster-to-adopt family. This would not have been possible without her. I am relieved and overjoyed to be able to finally celebrate what now feels like a true rescue. Thank you, Penny, for all you do.

Review of Dally’s Hope for Paws- I had nothing but a positive experience from the moment I started emailing with I think her name was Donna? I then drove to Hagaman to meet with Penny and to meet the dog I was interested in, Laverne. Penny was awesome! She asked all the right questions that should be asked of a potential adopter and gave me all the information I needed to help me make an informed decision if Laverne would be the right fit for our household. She wanted to meet my other dog to make sure the two dogs got along.I understand it is difficult to be rejected for not being able to let a dog out every 2 hrs but I don’t think that’s unreasonable at first when bringing home a rescue dog. I always took two weeks vacation whenever I adopted dogs and made arrangements for the dog to be let out every few hrs for another 2 weeks after that. And good thing I have a fenced yard because Laverne (now Daisy) is an escape artist who also ended up requiring installation of an Invisible Fence. So I don’t think Penny or her crew are being unreasonable. Very few rescue groups will let you adopt without a fenced yard.Penny followed up with me to see how Laverne (Daisy) was adapting. And yes, she cried when I took Daisy home from her rescue. Boy, if that makes someone, unhinged, then aren’t most of us dog lovers unhinged?? If you want to adopt from a place where dogs come and go everyday and no one sheds a tear, go to a shelter.

I drive transport for this rescue and also fostered/adopted one of my sweet dogs from Dally's Hope 4 Paws. I love this rescue for the care and attention the dogs recieve from the moment they walk through Penny's door. Dogs pulled from kill shelters, abandoned, abused, forgotten, and scared, so many of them come here and get the nourishment, vet care, training and love they all deserve. They get to learn how to trust and how to be dogs again. They learn what it means to be family. Every dog comes with their own unique history and personality and Penny and her precious team of angels do their best to find the perfect family to match each dogs needs.

**Warning: This review has a heavy-hearted conclusion.**We had a dog named Honey who was adopted from another shelter—not to be confused with Dally's Hope 4 Paws Rescue.After she turned five years old, my partner and I had just finished setting her up with pet insurance and decided it was time for us to find a friend for our beloved dog. We first began our search on Petfinder, where we found another pup named Daisy. Everything matched up with what we were looking for: similar age and another goofball with equal energy to our Border Collie/German Shepherd mix. We were ecstatic to meet them.The application process went really well at first. We had only one dog, two cats, and direct access from the house to a huge fenced-in yard. In addition to this, I am always home due to the nature of my occupation, out of the four occupants that live here.We were then directed to another foster to find out that Daisy was an Out-Of-Town pet, which was not an issue for us as transportation was available. However, this was not listed on her page, nor was the fact that she had not been spayed yet. Her page clearly stated otherwise. The second part of the application process, such as the phone interview, was put on hold for a two-month period as we found out that she was also being treated for heartworms.At some point in between these developments, the initial contact recommended another dog to us by the name of Brownie. We were still determined to adopt Daisy, so we settled on taking in both. Our house is plenty spacious, and both of their stories pulled at our heartstrings.This is unfortunately where our story takes a turn for the worst, as our beloved dog Honey was in a tragic accident and passed away before she could meet either of these dogs. We were beyond devastated. My partner and I have lost animals before in our childhoods, but Honey was the first pet under our independent care, and we deeply faulted ourselves for it. We tried everything we could to save her.When we finally reached the point of the phone interview, we chose to be honest. Honey had been hit by a car and was no longer with us. Before my partner could even begin explaining how it occurred, the foster parent berated them. They stated that they would never let us adopt now. How she could only picture Daisy's sweet face dead.This absolutely shocked the both of us. We were grieving pet owners trying to explain that we do not allow our dog to free roam, even with 82 acres of property out in the middle of nowhere. We have a beautiful fenced-in yard wrapped with chicken wire, and our dog was never allowed to roam the fields without constant supervision and a leash, let alone near the road. We could never have foreseen what happened. They failed to hear out any of this rationale, choosing to shout incomprehensibly, leading up to their abrupt hang-up.The foster's name will not be mentioned unless I am contacted directly. And I wish to apologize to the establishment itself for leaving a one-star review, as I am sure it is a wonderful place that goes above and beyond for their animals. Unfortunately, two mourning dog parents were left feeling far worse about their tragedy.

Rejected immediately without an interview for working full time. My current dog gets walks twice a day before and after work and is seen by a dog walker on some days. The questions that this rescue asks are too vague and the decisions are poorly made. The dog I was interested in Is still listed and nobody has any interest in him. I have great references and a large fenced yard with the same breed of dog at home. This poor pup would’ve been a great fit and it’s disappointing to know the rescue is keeping these dogs from being adopted.

Very rude and unprofessional. Made one phone call and got attitude. I let her know about the attitude and she said that I would not be getting the dog I was interested in and hung up. I gave her zero attitude and was calm the entire phone call DO NOT RECOMMEND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!

I have had my dog for almost 2 years so far; I cannot believe how great the whole experience was and how inexpesive it turned out to be in the long run. I want another dog!

What started off as a very communicative, positive experience quickly went sour. I was interested in a dog and was told that if things didn't work out, my $100 would be refunded, and that they only say the deposit is non-refundable to weed out people who are not serious. So I went ahead with the deposit, trusting that this information was accurate. On Petfinder, it says the dog was neutered. He was not. I couldn't bring an unaltered male into my home with my 2 other dogs. After immense pressure to say if I would move forward with the adoption, I thought it best to let one of the many other interested adopters have there chances to give this pup a wonderful home. I asked to look at another dog I was interested but that one was pending. Penny seems to care about where these dogs are going, which I am thankful for, but after her unhinged attitude when asking for the deposit (that I was specifically informed WAS refundable), I will never deal with this rescue again. I have rescued all my animals and NEVER have I ever been met with such unprofessionalism and neuroticism from a rescue. Best of luck to anyone who wishes to deal with Penny.
