Testimonials 
from our wonderful adopters and supporters!

I wish there was a 10 rating because 5 honestly doesn't do justice for this rescue. Besides the grounds being clean, the people are absolutely AMAZING! Jamie was the most passionate and helpful person when considering a companion for myself and my family. I went in at first for one dog, but then after carefully going through my application and talking a bit with my parents and I she decided that wasn't the right dog and picked a perfect match for us. Knowing it was a good fit, but just making sure, she wouldn't let me adopt Max the dog without him meeting my nephews first. Everything has been great. He's so lovable and he's been the missing link in my family and in my heart. If you want a reliable, supportive, and friendly rescue to adopt from, this is the place to do so!

Can't say enough good things about this rescue. This rescue group is nothing but supportive, caring, and helpful. Everyone there loves animals and is only interested in making pairings that work. They don't just try and adopt as fast as possible, and this extra time and effort is what makes them so special. We adopted twice from there. The first adoption did not work out because the dog was too scared to live in NYC. The group there was helpful, responsive and ultimately supportive of our decision to bring her back to the farm where she was subsequently adopted by another family. We regrouped, worked with them again, and found the right dog for our family. We couldn't be happier with our new friend. If you are thinking of rescuing a dog, contact this group. You will not regret it.

We adopted our dog there last April and it's been one terrific ride. The dogs are so well cared for on a beautiful horse farm. We took Caeli back for a visit last August and she greeted everyone with love and excitement, a sure sign she was very happy there. We're very grateful to the whole team for saving her and making it possible for us to adopt her. She is a gem!

We adopted her Harriet. We visited Harriet a bunch of times because Harriet had issues. Well the staff there worked with Harriet when we brought her home she performed and acted just like any other dog we had. The staff and the trainers are excellent all right was there over 900 days and when she came home she acted just wonderful.

We adopted Hazel (now BB) 1.5 months ago and we love her so much! She is our perfect match all thanks to Sharon for all of her time and help. We were given so much helpful information in our folder at the time of the adoption, including a helpful book that was a life savior for our first weeks with BB! Jamie is also the most patient and kind trainer. She is always willing to answer any silly question a new fur mommy might have! We are so happy we found this wonderful rescue. They are truly the BEST! They really care about their dogs and the families interested in adopting. Their location is beautiful and you can tell the dogs are truly happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend For the Love of Dogs Rescue to all of those who are looking to adopt.

I didn't think this kind of care was possible anywhere these days. We have been up three times between my wife and I, getting to know pups and figuring out which made the most sense each time is better than the last and each time they show such love and compassion. They offer no pressure and truly care about every pup they have. There are not enough good, kind, words to share about this team.

Really wanted to give a 10. The dogs rescued by this group are truly the lucky ones. They receive top veterinary care. They have walks by kind handlers around a huge, gorgeous horse property. They are stimulated with training, and also made more adoptable. The littles stay in an office that is as comfy as your living room. All the dogs are loved by all involved. Truly loved. I had the opportunity to train and foster Samantha, a feisty blind poodle. She was adopted shortly afterwords. This is the best of the best places. I wouldn't call it a shelter. Rescue and temporary home is more like it! Love all you guys!!!!!

We adopted Chelsea (now named Josephine) in 2012 from for the love dogs rescue... They are absolutely the best, so caring about their dogs! They have checked in on her to make sure she continues to be in a loving home too. I would very highly recommend this rescue organization!

So happy I found this rescue. We adopted Beethoven which is now Biscuit. Their team takes the time to make sure they have a perfect match. They are so caring in every way. If you have questions after you bring your dog home they are there to help. Every dog that comes through this rescue is blessed to have such a great group of people to love them while they find a forever home. For the love of dogs deserves 6 stars!!!!

We adopted Tyrion (formerly Bentley) from this rescue in 2014. What can we say? From the moment we interacted with the staff and saw the level of care and attention that was given to each dog, we knew this was a team full of devoted and passionate people seeking to make the lives of all the dogs passing their way as happy as possible. I can't possibly say enough good things or heap enough praise on this rescue and its team.
