Celebrity Pets

None of the pets available for adoption have been checked by a vet so be very careful before you do.We adopted a beautiful British Shorthair cat from CPR only to find out that she had serious issues with her teeth once we took her to our local vet a few weeks later, which needed urgent treatment.The amount that we paid to have her teeth issues fixed was over $2,000.00- so be very careful here.Sadly today 5/1/22 we have had to say Good-bye ( due to further on-illness') to our Beautiful little Girl POPPY. ): our Vet fees in total amounted to $8,500+

the fact that they charged me 220 for three nights when i couldn’t pick my pup up on a public holiday, is disgusting the fact that you take advantage of peoples loved pets by taken more money than it costs too look after my tiny dog. There wasn’t even a real answer about why it had costed that much if my money is going to fund something else I would rather of liked to know.

Don’t trust them, celebrity pet rescue lied to usA previous worker for celebrity pet rescue has told us all about them what they dog in front of the dogs and to the kittens.We now have to rehome our dog :(

After losing my old Chihuaha I was in need of a furry buddy to help me deal with arthritis and poor eyesight. Contacted Julie who had a pomeranian x. He has been brilliant as my little friend and the best therapy I could wish for.

Please read this if you're thinking of adopting any dog.I adopted a dog here in October 2020.This is a rating not just on this pet rescue scheme, but I imagine all of them.In principle it's a fantastic idea. Rehome dogs that escape etc, to new homes. The issue is, these dogs come with so many unknown issues.Most of them are terrible mix breeds (ie staffy/mastiff), high energy, medium/large dogs, likely coming from bogan backyard breeders, then given to other irresponsible owners, and mistreated along the way. You adopt them vaguely aware of this fact (if you've thought about it), but it certainly isn't raised by them as a potential issue.Why is this dog in a pound in the first place? Now I realise, most of the time, it's likely because the previous owner was unable to deal with the dog, and just let it out. They certainly didn't want the dog back. Otherwise, the dog would be picked up. Have you ever thought why smaller dogs are so much less common for adoption? Cause they are more so much more likely to be found by the owner. I know the first thing I do as a responsible owner, is get my dog tagged, and registered, should it escape.Our issue was one I really didn't expect. 2yo mix breed dog. Looked good, if a bit skinny. Kind to our 2yo old daughter. Great inside, and ok in the backyard. Fairly energetic, nothing a good long walk daily couldn't sort out, right?You only have a 10 days grace period to return. I knew I would never return him, short of him attacking someone. You can't learn much about a dog in 10 days, when he's been through hell and you have to establish a bond with them. So I knew I'd give him 6 months no matter what.I realised after a couple of weeks, this dog had clearly never been socialised as a puppy, and likely never walked. Just kept in a backyard up until the time he was kicked out.Dog training, behavioral training, calming solutions, adaptil collars, anxiety medication. Daily walking, exposure to new things, other dogs. Crate training, hand feeding to build relationship. I never counted the money all this cost, cause it was largely irrelevant to me. But it certainly hasn't been a cheap exercise.Nothing really changed the fact that, once off the property, everything to him is a level 100. It made him more or less not walkable. I walked him daily, but it was never good. My partner was completely unable to handle him.I have to imagine if anyone with less patience/time had adopted him, there is no way they would have got past the 1 month mark, before realising this is untenable.I gave him 6 months, and unfortunately now I see the only humane thing to do is to have him put down. Which I believe, is the only responsible thing to do for a lot of these types of dogs. I could try and Rehome him. I could drop him at another shelter. I could let him out. But he'll likely end up, with another owner, who's less patient than I, and be further mistreated. It's not his fault. He's just a product of his past experiences.I write this to make everyone aware if you have thoughts of adopting a dog. It's a fine idea, in theory. But you pay 500 dollars for a dog, and there is a good chance, something like this ends up happening. But maybe you get a socialised, forgiving dog that's been not too mistreated. It's a gamble.The puppy system is terrible in a lot of ways. But at least, if you are a responsible pet owner, you know what you're getting, and will be able to correctly socialise/train it. Just pick the right breeders.So please consider this if you're looking to adopt. I hate the idea that this is likely happening every day, and unfortunately the adoption places, really don't make you aware of this at all.

Adopted our staffy cross over 10 years ago. Such lovely caring people. We have always adopted dogs and never have had a problem. Animals know who they can trust to love them. Something people need to take into account before adopting. Be 110% honest in being prepared to spend the time with your pet. They will give you 110% love in return. Pets are not ornaments just to be there.

Extremely Friendly and helpful staff was a pleasure to meet and get my new best friend a beautiful gentle and loving rottweiler.

The care taken with all the animals is very thorough. I found them very accommodating, quick to respond and very helpful. They really are eager to find good homes for their pets.In contrast, with another charity I tried approaching, I found that they took a long time to respond and were extremely strict. More focused on getting donations rather than finding homes for their pets.I would definitely recommend Celebrity Pets to anyone :)

This place supplied us with our most wonderful rescue dog. We have had him just on 3years and last week took him back to thank them and for them to see his amazing progress. They remembered him and were so pleased to see him again. What would those animals do without caring people like those at Celebrity Pet Rescue? Thank you so very much
