Experience with Adoption Process
Pros:
"The process was easy- but thorough- as it should be."
"From the outset, the volunteers were all extremely friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with."
"Our dog was transported to us and the person stayed for a little while to make sure she was settled."
"Within days, we had our home assessment, met Roxy and were able to bring her straight home."
"Louise was brilliant with making sure Chloe wasn't put in a home that didn't meet her needs."
"We fostered and then adopted our dog through this charity and have been extremely happy at every stage."
"A very thorough home check following our application, completed by a friendly and knowledgeable woman."
"We were provided with excellent follow up support by Louise, both on Facebook but also via vet visits."
Cons:
"Unfortunately after many enquiries texts/emails we heard absolutely nothing."
"I completed an application... and as I wasn't familiar with how long it usually takes to assume I have been unsuccessful I decided to text and call Louise to see if there was any updates."
"No response to my application form or telephone message. All I wanted was conformation of its receipt."
"I'm sad to say I'm very disappointed with Yappy ever after as I had no reply at the 3 Emails I had sent them and we were unable to locate the whereabouts of the premises also and the phone number was not working either."
"A bit disappointed. It took a long time to get a reply and when we did the dog we were interested in had gone."
"I wouldn’t recommend this place for the overall communication side. I unfortunately was in a really tough place and had to rehome my two amazing labradors and I was approached via gumtree and promised and assured multiple times I would receive updates throughout the entire process of them rehoming my dogs for me and updated photos. This lasted only a few months and when I continued to message I was blanked for months on end."
"Phoned on so many occasions, emailed and sent a text. No response at all which is pretty poor when someone is only wanting to give a dog a loving and caring home. Makes me wonder if this place even exists."
"After enquiring about rehoming a pet I was ignored. In this time I was able to find a different rescue to then receive a text off of these owners trying to argue with me because I DID NOT TEXT HER BACK."
Support and Follow-Up
Pros:
"We were provided with excellent follow up support by Louise, both on Facebook but also via vet visits for a check up, vaccinations, and initial worming and flea treatment."
"The rescue have a great support network, with people willing to give advice and help whenever we have needed it."
"We recently adopted a dog from Yappy, I’ve got to say we were genuinely surprised how smooth the process was from the home check, meeting the foster carer and dog to the support for the transition home, everyone involved has one aim in mind and that is to ensure the very best outcome for the dog!"
"Thank you Yappy for our beautiful girl, we can only imagine the work that goes in to this role as well as having a job. You are amazing, keep it up."
"I honestly could not thank this rescue enough they went above and beyond to help me after rescuing the most beautiful puppy knowing I didn't have the time for him but i had to get him out of the worst situation and living conditions."
"The lady who runs this charity, works full time and has a family, including several dogs, how she gets so much rescue work done astonishes me."
"They have been nothing but professional and caring even though they work under immense pressure."
"This charity led by Louise do a fantastic job working round the clock and travelling the length and breadth of the country rescuing dogs from everywhere and trying to find loving homes for them all and they are all volunteers."
Cons:
"This lasted only a few months and when I continued to message I was blanked for months on end."
"Having to rehome an animal for personal reasons is hard enough, nevermind the lack of understanding from this company."
"No response to my application form or telephone message. All I wanted was conformation of its receipt."
"I've adopted a dog from Yappy and it has changed my life for the better. They care for all the dogs that come into their care and make sure they are going to the right home for the animals welfare and happiness. Always someone to talk to for advice and they are there for life."
"A very caring and responsible dog rescue, would definitely recommend. We got our dog from Yappy a few years ago and they did a home check to make sure my house and garden was suitable, made sure I was the right person and are on hand to help if needed (including rescue back up for life if unfortunately needed)."
"The depth of Yappy’s caring is endless, we adopted the best dog ever and they kept in touch and initially made sure we were the right home."
"I’m forever grateful for Louise & Yappy Ever After for bringing my fur baby, Alfie, into my life. After many applications at other rescue centres, I’d had no luck and had almost given up hope in getting a rescue dog. I’m proof that, if you’re patient, the right forever dog will find you - so don’t give up."
"I can not fault this rescue. I have 2 beautiful furbabies Thanks to Louise and team. It was a bit of a wait. But they try to fit the dog with the family. So they get there forever home. It's all about patience."
