I have been volunteering for saved me for about a year and am so impressed by their work and mission. I have also done temp fostering over the holidays and the staff was so supportive. A great option if you are looking to foster or adopt!

I’ve adopted all 3 of my fur babies from Savedme and had a phenomenal experience with all. 2/3 were foster fails, the 3rd had heartworm and SavedMe paid for the majority of the very expensive treatment through Pet Mechanic ( an A++++ vet). They really care for the pups that come to their shelter, they do right by them. I’ve heard horror stories of other adoption agencies so I really can’t recommend this one enough, they are legitimately a great, compassionate and safe agency. Get your fur babies from them!!

My partner and I fostered our dog from Saved me in May of 2022 and winded up adopting her a few months later in July. The volunteers and staff there made both processes so easy! Her vet visits and vaccines were up to date, her file was clear and accurate, and they all very obviously love the animals they take in as their own and take such good care of them. We were provided everything we needed to begin our foster/ adoption journey. We’re thinking of getting our pup a friend in the future and would adopt from Saved Me again without hesitation.

A great place to volunteer and spend some time with some amazing dogs and great people. The people that work here do all they can do to keep every dog happy. It’s not an easy job as it is a constant chore to take care of all the dogs they have. They do it with a smile and were incredibly kind. Only great things to say!!!

Saved Me is very special to our family, through the work that they do to save homeless dogs. My wife volunteers there, our daughters have both Fostered dogs in need through them and our family contributes financially as we can. We are impressed with the kindness of the staff and of their mission. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to foster, adopt and get involved.

I have been volunteering for them for quite a while ago and feel very strongly (in a positive way!) about the work that they do. Everyone is fully committed to doing whatever is best for the dogs (and persons adopting them) and ultimately finding them their forever homes. Shelters and Rescues are all overwhelmed right now but they are doing an amazing job. The shelter is very clean and the dogs are well taken care of and loved. I love helping here and cannot wait to go back soon. I highly recommend that you contact them when you are ready to add a pet to your family.

My sweet dog, PD, adopted me just before the pandemic lockdown. It was that expression and his sad brown eyes and his scrappy, unkempt hair that endeared him to me.

We took in a foster pup when they had an urgent need and honestly finding this little pup her forever home was quite the rewarding experience. The folks supplied us with pee pads, a crate, leash/harness/collar, dewormers, to heartworm/flea and tick preventatives etc. Highly recommend these awesome folks

Clean facility, friendly and caring staff with the doggos, foster process was easy, very comfortable feeling there. Pets are well taken care of. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking to foster or adopt.

A great place to volunteer. Easy to sign up and great staff with lots of information about each dog. We walked dogs and played with puppies. It's a pretty great way to do a good deed!

I adopted both of my girls through saved me and had a wonderful experience. Staff was friendly, professional and helpful and took very good care of my babies before they made it to their furever home.

The adoption process was friendly, efficient and smoothe. I happened upon the best dog for my 3 cat family. She is affectionate, curious and friendly. The adoption fee is pricy for dogs but considering the boarding and medical care for the animals its understandable and worth it. Especially, for rescues.

Very impressed. Answered all my questions. Didnt feel rushed when we did the visit. Winston was clean & very well kept. I would definitely reccommend.

Got the opportunity to volunteer here today. Clean and super friendly staff! The dogs are absolute angels and it's heartbreaking that anyone would ever give them up. Definitely make this a stop if you are looking for a fur baby!

We adopted our Dennis from Saved Me about 9 months ago and it has been the best 9 months of our lives! Saved Me is an amazing center for animals and we are so lucky to have found and supported them !

We foster failed our dog and the adoption process was super quick and easy. Everyone there was super nice and caring for the dogs.

Love this place, and that they allow you to walk cute doggies. My only beef is why do I have to fill out a waiver EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!! If I filled it out once... put it on file! Save a tree!

Absolutely adore this organization. They do great work and clearly communicate their mission to the public. We'll most likely get our next pet from them! We went to donate blankets, towels, toys, and food today — and the person receiving the items was so cheery that I nearly teared up! (And I don't like cheery!) Thank you people of Saved Me Rescue!!

Sold me a heartworm-positive dog (Ellie) on July 22, despite records claiming otherwise.When I warned SavedMe, they were defensive and unconcerned by the potential outbreak they had at their main facility.You’d think a ”rescue” would take precautions when importing 8 dogs from southern Georgia in June. Right???Also, the people taking care of these dogs are totally unqualified. Within a couple days of ‘adoption’, Ellie developed a yeast infection due to water being left in her ears by Savedme staff. I was also instructed that “unless you plan to board, you don’t need the bordetella vaccine. I don’t board my dog so he doesn’t need it”.Willing to go on the record regarding any details related to my experience.If you adopted a dog in July/August,TEST FOR HEARTWORM

The staff was extremely pleasant; the owner (I'm not completely sure what you'd call him) was combative, condescending and pedantic. While I understand that proper protocol is necessary to ensure the dogs' safety, there is absolutely no reason to treat customers so terribly. So, if you decide to visit this shelter, it might be better to minimize your contact with him.We were looking to adopt a dog and heard about this shelter from friends. Although they warned us of the owner, we decided to take a look. Upon arrival, we noticed a strange dichotomy among the staff. The younger members were pleasant and informative. But the older ones, particularly the owner, were at best reticent; at worst cold and/or rude. But a dog stole our hearts so we decided to commence the adoption process.A day after we had submitted the adoption paperwork, the owner called us and told us that we were not candidates because our dog had not been vaccinated for two years. I told him that our vet had said that it was fine to wait three years and I readily admitted that I may have misunderstood her. I also said that our dog had responded very poorly to the vaccine with symptoms that mirrored kidney or bladder problems (shivering, frequent urination, incontinence, nausea and lethargy), and that I thought we were compliant with the PA laws. But, I said that we could get him the shot immediately and, again, I may have misunderstood our vet's instructions.Something that I said must have set him off because he started yelling at me. He said that I didn't know what I was talking about, didn't know the law, that he'd been doing "this for 20 years" and that he was the owner; not me. (Ironically, I was a lawyer who specialized in health law and vaccinations. Now I'm a medical student and my wife is a health care compliance officer.) Whenever I tried to ask a question, he would yell "you're wrong."The way he treated us was so disturbing that I can't help but wonder if he'd treat someone similarly if the person looked more like him (and less like me). Because of that, I don't recommend the place.

I adopted Shannon ,baby girl, on Sun 9 -27. The experience was very positive & enjoyable. Dan made the process so stress free unlike other agencies I had dealt with recently. He returned emails & calls & was professional. Adoption was final in only 2 days !! I would strongly recommend SAVED ME to,anyone .

In tandem with Doggy style Philly, the adoption process was easy and straight forward. All of the associates we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. They went over the information in depth and I am deeply satisfied.

Unprofessional and unreliable in how they work with Foster parents. And, when they and/or their Vet partner made a mistake, they take it out on the dog by throwing this precious girl back in the kennel where she was very nervous, highly stressed and withdrawn. In 5 or 6 days in a loving home, this 2 yr old rescue was thriving.Again, they and/or their vet screws up and they punish the poor dog and return it to the kennel where she was not doing well. WHY have a Foster program if you’re going to throw the dog back in the kennel vs return her to the Foster home where she was thriving!?!Bottom line, dogs learn faster than some of the people at this rescue...

Our dog, my best friend's dog, and her parents' dog all came from Saved me. Love how friendly the staff is and they are willing to take time to pair you with your perfect family member! I love what they stand for and I love their partnership with Doggie Style.

We adopted our dog in November. She had a limp and they never took x-rays (turned out to be a fracture, which was easily detected...with x-rays). They told us she was about 5 years old, even though her papers from ACCT Philly say she’s a senior dog. They were negligent in getting her adequate veterinary care and they blatantly lied about her age to get her adopted. We have spent nearly $3,000 getting her the care she needs, only to find out she is at least 3-4 years older than what they told us. I tried following their instructions to update her microchip, and it just sent me to a website that sells pet insurance. I will never adopt from or donate to them again, despite all their positive reviews.

Can anyone tell me whether Saved Me was originally located on 3rd street in Philly? I adopted my Tootsie several years ago from Saved Me and unfortunately needed to rehome her due to a health emergency requiring immediate hospitalization. I took her to Saved Me because I knew they would find a wonderful home for her. And they did. It doesn’t get any better than Saved Me. They are the very best!
