I adopted 2 dogs from RISPCA in Riverside, RI
The staff are great, very kind, helpful and honest. Their vet Dr Bruke is so nice and have a great knowledge about dogs not like my dog's vet.
I do recommend this shelter to whoever wants to adopt a pet.

I adopted a dog and paid using paypal. I never saw the phrase that says they don't cover animals which means they don't make refuns if the transaction covers an animal. Anyway if they don't protect buyers against such transaction then why on earth they deal w/ animal rescue. What are you going to buy from an animal rescue other than an animal. They're really bad people and they only want to make money. So my advice always pay through your credit card, you can always dispute a claim and get your money back.

They operate out of Liberty, SC. They claim to rescue animal and claim to be non profit so they can get hold of dogs from illegal breeders and sell them all over the country. I adopted 2 poms for $255 each and I had to pay $100 more when they arrive. The dogs arrived from SC to RI by car and they had no medical papers and no info on where the dogs came from. One of the dog was very week and skinny and looked very scary, so I asked the man who delivered them(Rodney) for her papers and I told him I want to take her to the vet, he then took the dog back w/ him and never gave me papers for the other one & of course no money back for the returned dog. The other dog bit me the next day really hard that I'd to go to the urgent care and get it stiched and got got an IV w/ strong dose of antibiotic and still under medication. I called them & asked if she got her rabie shot, they said yes but never sent me the papers so this poor dog is now in quarantine hoping that she doesn't have rabies otherwise I've to take rabie shot myself. After the dogs was checked by the state dr and after wachting her behavior, it seemed that the dog is a puppy mill and was never exposed to human touch but Goldensrescue never disclosed where they brought her.
I also learned that they should not get dogs to RI and MA which theyre doing all the time. Please don't adopt from them. They put my 2 dogs in a very tiny carrier not even a crate along w/ 9 more dog and drove them for 3 nights to deliver them to MA, CT, RI, NY. I'm in the process of filing a complaint w/ the health dept and the animal cruelty league.
