A Home 4 Ever Rescue - Costa Mesa, California

I’m so grateful for this rescue! I have adopted 2 dogs from them at separate times and I couldn’t be happier to have them. They were both in terrible shape, with rotting teeth, fleas, mites, infected wounds, worms etc. A Home 4Ever made sure that all of these issues were taken care of before I took them home. Their volunteers truly go out of their way to care for these dogs, many that are disabled, aggressive or are in need of surgeries. They are hopeful for all dogs and will keep them safe until they find a their forever home, however long it takes. Thank you for your love and care to save these dogs!!!!! Highly recommend adopting from this company ❤️

We are so grateful for our experience with adopting “Braveheart” from A Home 4 Ever Rescue. The entire process from submitting the initial application, to meeting our pup, to filling out the final adoption paperwork, was so quick and straightforward. Because of this incredible organization, Braveheart was saved from being euthanized after being hit by a car. We truly appreciate Adriana and Alex with A Home 4 Ever Rescue for being so supportive and for their dedication to finding these pups their forever homes. He is the most perfect little guy and we already cannot imagine our lives without him. Thank you!!

Fostering to adopt two dogs from this rescue. Erin, Cindie, and Bev have been so kind and accommodating, patiently answering all of our questions and talking to us about the dogs. Like many private rescues, I believe they are volunteer-run or operate with minimal staff so there may be some wait time when you first inquire about adopting. You can tell they really love what they do and the dogs they work with, and care about the dogs going to a good home.
My husband and I are POC and we didn’t feel discriminated against (in reference to some other reviews on here)

We recently adopted from A Home 4 Ever Rescue and had a great experience from beginning to end! Erin and Adriana were both extremely helpful and communicative throughout the process, and seemed to truly care for the well being of the pup who is now apart of our family. All of his paperwork, records, etc. were up to date and accurate, which helped provide further peace of mind. We couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend this rescue to any friends and family that are considering adopting a dog. Thank you again for supporting so many animals that need to find homes!

I didn't have a good experience with this rescue. Went to one of their in-person adoption days and was taken aback by the volunteer who interacted with us ("no one wants him" in reference to one of the dogs) to the condition of the dogs, particularly the length of their nails. Basic grooming/hygiene didn't look like it had taken place, but rescue had had the dogs for months.

Against my judgment we still put an application in - note, they will ask for too much info. We were told by Erin the dog's foster would call us - we never received a call. Signed onto their social media 1.5 weeks later to find out the dog had been adopted out. Emails weren't responded to. No basic human respect letting us know the dog was adopted or they didn't think we were a good fit. Ignoring people who want to help is deeply disrespectful and gives animal rescue a bad name.

Overall, felt very discriminatory (we rent) and Erin seems like a fraud. Please give your money and time to other organizations.

Also please be wary of their positive Google reviews - Erin Muellenberg (rescue leadership) is one of the reviewers who left 5 stars here.

Rescued a dog from them at a local PetSmart. Dog was supposed to come with all shots up to date. We ended up having to go to a specific pet hospital for the shots, she only got half of the shots needed and we had to come back a month or two later for the rest. When I tried to contact them about getting her scheduled for the needed vaccines I never heard back. The pet hospital made several attempts to reach them for confirmation on payment. They never responded. Long story short, I paid the $150 extra on top of my adoption fees to pay for something that was already discussed and supposed to be paid for per the contract agreement. Poor service, lack of communication, failure to uphold her end of the contract. I would suggest looking elsewhere at more reputable adoption clinics. One positive, my adopted pet is awesome and she has a happy healthy place to call home now.

VERY RUDE. I called to see about surrendering my grandfathers elderly dog as my grandfather is entering hospice care. She was very rude, short, and hung up on me after suggesting I just keep the dog without even knowing my circumstances. She shouldn’t be dealing with people who have to surrender their dogs, it’s a hard enough decision, especially when the elderly are involved. Do not adopt here.

I have a true appreciation for this rescue. I found a stray dog roaming a busy street and because I already have two dogs of my own, I did not intend on keeping her. I reached out to about 10 rescues, only 3 got back to me, and only 1 offered their help, which was A Home 4 Ever Rescue. I volunteered to foster the dog and the rescue offered to help me find her a home and to help with medical expenses. One member in particular, Adriana, went out of her way to assist me and help find this doggie a home. This rescue is solely run by the kindness of their volunteers and I had a first hand glimpse of how much work it is. So the fact that Adriana found the time to help me, in addition to her volunteer work, and her full time job is truly amazing. The volunteers of this rescue sacrifice so much of their lives to this cause, so please consider donating or adopting one of their wonderful dogs.
