Testimonials
âSecond-time adopters here! Having adopted from other organizations many years ago (i.e. shelters), we have been so pleased with our experience at PAR. PAR takes the time to get to know dogs, their needs, and where they might thrive. We really like this about your organization. We recognize that shelters are limited in different ways from PAR. On top of that, from an ethical worldview, we appreciate the work you do, in the region you do it, and the systemic implications. Animal welfare goes hand in hand with human poverty, and we feel that your organization actively touches both of those important social issues. Thank you! We love both 'Shadow' and 'Emma.'"

"My whole family is indebted to Lisa and her network of extraordinary, puppy-loving friends and helpers for saving our pup, Sammie, and her litter-mates. At 3 days old, their mother had been euthanized on an Arizona reservation. They were to be next. But after a few calls, they ended up with Lisa. She said: "BRING THEM HERE," and then proceeded to, at first, dropper-feed and then bottle-feed Sammie and her siblings to full, vibrant, bouncy health. At 8 weeks, Sammie ran into our arms and hearts, and we discovered that (true to the "rescue pup" that she is) Sammie rescued us. To say that we (my husband, daughter, son, and I) adore her is seriously understating the matter. We know that the love she quite literally was held and bathed in has shaped her heart and nervous system. Lisa, we are so grateful to you and all who contributed to her care!"
