Sunny Meadows Safe Haven For Pets Memphis, Arkansas

Congratulations I have now wasted more of my time on your “organization” by writing this review. I’m honestly not sure how this place has any positive reviews. Let’s start by looking at their responsiveness. It’s pretty much nonexistent. Their voicemail is full and they NEVER pick the phone up. Based on previous reviews this has been the case for 8 months. Even if you’re under staffed, checking a voicemail might be the easiest thing to do. When we finally got a response they told us we can’t have a dog because we don’t have a fenced in yard because we live in an apartment. Now I could understand that if we were looking at medium to large dogs; however, we are looking for a small dog for this exact reason. Our apartment complex has 3 different dog parks but they didn’t care. I could be wrong but I do not remember that being a requirement mentioned on any documentation I filled out. IF you get a response from this place don’t expect it to be in the slightest bit professional. Vet recommendation requirement.. I’m sorry but what ? So you want first time dog owners to go to a breeder instead of adopting so they can get a recommendation from a vet? How can someone have a vet recommendation if their parents “owned” previous dogs growing up.

I give them three stars for being friendly but they are stupid on their prices for their animals

I got my two sweet girls from Sunny Meadows’s. They came from a Amish puppy mill. I saved them and they saved me after loosing my husband and my little Maggie another puppy mill dog! There health and issues were taken care and it amazed my vet. I highly recommend Sunny Meadows’s!!!!

The reviews about not responding to inqueries is 100% accurate. I've called, emailed and texted. Nothing. They should let another orginizaiton take their animals so they can be adopted.

I have nothing but good things to say about Sunny Meadows! They were so kind and helpful, and it was obvious how much they cared for the animals there. I would recommend to anyone!

no help at all, just soliciting donations

It's a little difficult to get the Dogs. They stall away and give You the running around about the. dog You really interested in and I understand they have to be careful but My God I know I'll be a Good Pet owner I've had Dogs in the pass

Not what they say they are..

Absolutely best place to adopt a pet

Why would they put pet for adoption when they don’t even respond back or answer calls. This is the worst adoption place! I wouldn’t even give a star. For future reference learn how to communicate.

Been trying to get ahold of this place for a week now about an available kitten. I'd rather them just tell me they didn't like my application for some reason. It's like they don't want to find homes for these animals unless they know the person personally. I can't even MEET the kitten to see if its a good fit. I've given them permission to come to my house even and I just don't know what else I can do. Update: They have adopted out the kitten. I am heartbroken. I never was able to get ahold of them and they gave me no indication of whether or not my application was rejected. I found out because they removed him from petfinder.

Very Friendly and helpful. You can tell they have a love for animals. Not just a business! Would highly recommend!!

Looking for a small dog.

I really do not like having to give a rescue a review, as I generally just love the fact that they are doing great things for animal; however, this needs to be brought to their attention. I submitted an application for a dog I was really interested in adding to our family. I was open to other dogs as well, but this particular one seemed like a great fit. After not hearing back for several days, I tried to call to see if there was anything I could do or any questions I could answer to help in their decision. No answer so I left a voicemail, but no one ever called me back. I called since then and the voicemail box is full. I have also reached out via their contact us section, via email, via Facebook, and via Instagram, all with no response or even acknowledgement of my attempts. The only reason I know I didn’t get the dog is because I saw that he was removed from the adoptable pets list. So unprofessional- I wanted very badly to give a dog a home from their shelter, but to no avail. I wish them the best of luck, but I really hope they learn to be more responsive to the people who are willing to open their homes to their adoptable pets.

I attempted to adopt a small puppy. And since I live in an apartment which is gated and have no house with a fence. I can't adopt. And I dont have vet history. Just like a job how can someone get history if they don't give thema chance. I was looking for company since im home alone now. I have pet history growing up we always had pets. I believe they give them to whom they want to . So disappointed.

I am still waiting to hear back from them regarding if my application has been approved to adopt a small dog

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, PETS NEED FOREVER HOMES

Doesn’t return phone calls, emails, or messages. Spent over a week trying to set up appointment to see a dog we badly wanted to adopt. Extremely disappointed

They lost our application so we filled out another one like we were told and then they refused me because the dog we already have in the home is not fixed.. if these people are so desperate for these dogs to be adopted out and have good homes why are they being so damn picky?

I’ve been calling for 3 weeks and not one single return phone call returned!!! I donated $100 and I wanted to adopt 2 dogs that I’ve been asking about...not one single answer!!! IS THIS PLACE EVEN OPEN?!?!

I volunteered at Sunny Meadows in the summer of 2019. I was so impressed with the love and care they give their animals, I knew this is where I wanted to return to when the time was right to adopt a dog. After submitting an application, I was contacted by Colby Stevens. He had clearly spent time reviewing the details and the parameters of what I was looking for. He took the time to share about a selection of dogs that he thought could be a good fit. I then scheduled an appointment. While at Sunny Meadows, Colby took plenty of time to let me meet each dog. The right choice became obvious and my whole family has been in love ever since. I highly recommend Sunny Meadows when you're ready to add a fur-baby to the family. I really appreciate the time they spend vetting potential adopters. That shows such care for the animals. I have looked at various rescue sites and postings for re-homing and found their adoption fee to be the most reasonable, especially given the work they do.

I’ve called so many times within the last 2 weeks and sent several emails and never hear a word back. I was really hoping to adopt a senior or adult dog ( I had picked out I truly wanted) but no one returns emails or texts ????

I have sent multiple emails over the course of 3 weeks trying to adopt a dog with no reply. I have also called numerous times and no answer and voicemail is always full!

I have applied to adopt two different dogs. Both times I have had the MOST difficult time getting in touch with anyone - I reached out on Petfinder, submitted an application, emailed, called, left voicemails. One of my applications was eventually rejected due to not having a vet reference listed, which wasn’t required on the application. I called, emailed & resubmitted my application with that information & no one would get back with me. Both dogs were adopted and no one answered my inquiries. I understand & fully support having guidelines to follow but it is incredibly unprofessional to not answer people. Unfortunately I will be looking to adopt elsewhere and I will be recommending to friends that they also look elsewhere.

These people know what they're doing. The moment you pull up you see this place is a labor of love. Amy was fantastic, extremely warm and very inviting. We met Lola and fell in love. Highly recommend.

Not what I expected. I drove a hour to meet with some unpleasant people. I will be purchasing a dog.

Not helpful when ack about products for 4 week kitten. I waited 10min for someone to help me

Adopted 2 beautiful little girls here .. both were puppy mill rescues.. the staff at Sunny Meadows truly cares

Seeing as they are only open for a couple hours a day, 3 days a week, I have been trying to call since they opened at 12pm today but they have yet to answer and they close at 2pm. Very frustrating and will gladly take my business elsewhere
