Greenleaf Animal Rescue

Such lovely people going above and beyond for animals that need it

Greenleaf animal rescue are an absolutely awful charity. I left details with them for my dog to be rehomed due to a serious medical problem that prevented me from looking after my dog. Despite several phone calls and emails no one got back to me after an initial email over 4 weeks ago. I made 3 attempts to get someone to respond to me without any success at all. This organisation has been absolutely useless, I cannot understand how they can successfully rehome anyone’s dog….they are clueless and totally ineffective. Stay away !!!

I have to admit I was a bit perturbed today when I saw the amount of questions about donations and didnt realise that it costs £50 just to reserve a dog! I am a bit put also by one response that greenleaf asked to be removed because it is negative! It makes me so sad to think of dogs waiting for forever homes and people like myself feeling very lonely. I think I shall honor plan b and buy a dog!

I adopted my rescue lurcher from here around 9months ago. I had very quick replies from the rescue centre and they answered all my queries. I did end up adopting a different dog to the original one that I applied for as the rescue couldn't get in touch with the fosterer, which fair enough they can't do anything about that. I turned out to be fate though as the dog we did end up adopting is amazing and a perfect fit for our home.

Do not be fooled by their shambles of an adoption process!Whilst being lead to believe I was halfway through the adoption process after completing my initial enquiry and online questionnaire and receiving further communication back with reference to the dog in question, I was totally disheartened to discover that whilst awaiting confirmation they had received the additional information they requested including photos and ID that the dog in question had mid process been reserved by somebody else and no further communication was received.I felt totally mislead about the whole adoption process as I was under the impression from their communication that once the home check had been approved I would then get the opportunity to pay the £50 reservation fee.It also became apparent early on in the adoption process that the amount of money you are willing to pay above the mininium donation fee is a major factor which did raise a concern as I presumed the rehoming of a rescue animal would have been top priority and not how much you can get out of it.After reading the reviews which I should have done initially it appears that unless you are giving up a pet the whole rehoming process from requesting further information to physical adoption is a totally unpleasant and stressful experience for the majority!

We adopted Bonnie from here 5 weeks ago, without any problems or issues. We would recommend this rescue to anyone.She is just as described in the write up, if not better. All I can add to this, is to say thank you for all the hard work and dedication.Chris & Bernard Birkett

They wanted £50 just to meet the dog, plus £400 adoption fees, then wanted me to pay for neutering. Information about the dog was vague so I asked for further information but was told it was still under assessment by the fosterer. I wasn’t born yesterday so declined. I think this is not a transparent organisation, perhaps just run for profit.

Extremely helpful. Very fast responses via email and made the whole, very sad process of rehoming our dog much easier. After meeting the new family, it was instantly very clear that Greenleaf had found the perfect home for our dog. They obviously provided plenty of information to the new family as they reserved our dog within a week of her being on their website, only wanted to wait 2 days to meet her, travelled 200 miles to meet her and picked her up the same day and another 200 miles back home. I have already recommended Greenleaf as a rescue charity. I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank Jane as she was always there to answer any questions or worries we had. After meeting the new family, and how compassionate Jane was, it put our minds at ease that we had made the right choice in our dog's best interests and she will have amazing love and fun with her new family. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience for anyone who has to rehome a dog! Keep your animal safe in your home until they find you someone suitable to adopt them. I cannot praise Greenleaf enough for their help and understanding in most unfortunate and upsetting circumstances

Been there for years, very solid good quality
