"The Last Chance Ranch offers adoption services that were so thoughtful and thorough."
"Great place to rescue animals... Easy application process and friendly staff."
"Filled out adoption form and was approved in 24 hours."
"They are also responsive to any and all questions that I had; my well vetted adoption process went through and I had my new best friend home within a week."
"Anyone considering adopting an animal should check out LCR. Great experience."
"We adopted our beloved Reggie here. Unlike some rescues, they do research applicants by contacting vets and references."
"The process was thorough and seamless and we got to take home the best dog ever."
Cons:
"They took our information and denied us without knowing us, our home, or our animals."
"I applied to adopt an older horse from this organization. I was declined for having incomplete vet and dental records."
"Its unfortunate that we were discriminated against because we have kids."
"Most of the reviews here are posted by their own volunteers. I am not a volunteer. I also believe they are more apt to adopting out to their volunteers than the public."
"And the microchip they use has to be renewed annually for $20/yr!!!!"
"Their adoption fees are much higher than the comparable local rescues."
"Sloan was advertised as a six-year-old Pitbull. That was a blatant lie."
Animal Care
Pros:
"Animals are well cared for."
"The animals know they are loved and feel secure."
"The place is very clean."
"They take great care of the animals."
"LCR accepts pets surrendered by their owners and rescues others from high kill shelters to offer them a new lease on life."
"They truly work with them to learn the animal's likes and dislikes."
"Our dog was VERY well cared for and actually started her journey to our forever home from Georgia."
Cons:
"However, the day after adopting our dog he was coughing pretty severely."
"They have re-listed a dog that has severe aggression issues and have not listed that in her history/description."
"Staff was friendly. But poor dogs (I saw 2) both were dirty. And needed grooming."
"The dog we adopted was sick (had an upper respiratory infection that they didn't catch), has asthma, and is also so anxious she breaks out of her crate daily and urinates all over the house."
"Turns out the dog is extremely nervous and scared, traumatized, not a good fit for a family and is requiring extensive training."
"Poor vetting... She reeked of strong odor when picked up to bring home so they knew there must be a problem."
"I was informed that she was evaluated by their own veterinarian. That was either negligence or another lie."
Staff and Volunteers
Pros:
"I have been with Last Chance Ranch for almost 4 years and have never seen a group of people so dedicated and loving."
"Their staff has always been courteous and helpful."
"The volunteers and staff truly care about the well being of all these animals."
"The workers are compassionate and kind."
"The staff, board of directors, and volunteers at Last Chance Ranch are amazing!"
"They were wonderful! Watching them with the other animals, we could tell how much they loved them all."
"The staff and volunteers are an amazing group of people!"
Cons:
"I was truly saddened today by your lack of empathy."
"Julia was incredibly unprofessional and very plainly put just RUDE."
"We were greeted by the rudest woman to walk the face of the Earth."
"They made us feel horrible about bringing him back."
"We were rudely told by a Julia French that due to 'understaffing' because of a 'snowstorm' we couldn’t come in to meet the dog."
"THEY R ONLY ABOUT THE MONEY! Especially the old lady with glasses that works there."
"They're only in it for the $$."
Facility and Events
Pros:
"They have fundraiser events, open house, pet vaccine clinic and help to re-home animals that are living their last chance."
"I have volunteered here for a long time. I've seen it go from rescuing a handful of horses to the amazing facility that it is today!"
"They have a small staff and rely heavily on volunteers. They have an open house on the first Sat of every month to let people come get a tour and sign up to volunteer if they'd like."
"The folks at LCR hosted a large animal rescue class for a number of local first responders."
"This is such a great community event that they hold annually."
"The gathering space was perfect. Plenty of space, clean and I recommend decorating the horse shoe."
"Last Chance Ranch is a great rescue!"
Cons:
"Last Chance Ranch was incredibly disappointing. Do better, Last Chance Ranch."
"Do not volunteer here, don't waste your time here there are better farms that need help out there."
"I will not speak to Last Chance Ranch's facilities or to their care as I have no point of reference. What I will say is that I scheduled a birthday party for my daughter over a month in advance of her birthday and they called and canceled on me the 3 days before it was supposed to occur."
"I have been trying to visit with one of their dogs... but they will not make any arrangements that we can come and meet with the dog after they supposedly close at 4."
"It’s truly a shame but we are heartbroken and let down and to have been offered little to no compassion was unacceptable."
"I would not recommend this shelter."
"They gave us an appointment that allowed for minimal interaction with other clients due to increased risk of Covid."
