Pawsitive Place Rescue immediately said they'd take in a stray who was in dire need. My neighbors had already trapped and dumped her buddy "in the country" and they took her without hesitation to avoid the same happening to her. When I dropped her off with them the facility was clean and the animals seemed well cared for. Pawsitive Place was literally the last resort for this girl and they stepped up. I will forever be grateful for places like this that give these animals a chance at a loving home.

The most wonderful and caring people. They go above and beyond to pair you with the most compatible pet. Their follow through and communication are top notch. I recommend them without reservation.

I simply cannot say enough about Pawsitive Place. I have seen firsthand how tirelessly they work to find the helpless animals homes. They help animals that most other rescues wouldn't touch. And they do it with love and respect. If you are looking for your furever companion or simply want to foster, I would encourage you to consider using Pawsitive Place. I am so very thankful for them.

Pawsitive Place Rescue is truly an amazing organization. Their love and dedication to saving dogs shines through in everything they do. They go above and beyond to rescue dogs, give them the care they deserve, and work hard to find them loving forever homes. It’s clear they genuinely care about the well-being of every animal they take in. If you’re looking to adopt or support a rescue that makes a real difference, I highly recommend Pawsitive Place Rescue. Thank you for giving so many dogs a second chance at a happy life!🫶🏾😍

Horrible customer service and very condescending mouth and attitude from the lady who answered the phone and then persisted to get irritated for me asking questions because she was driving down the road . I was told do I know what money goes into a shelter and rescue then tells me they don’t rescue at all but their business name is a rescue smh lol it was a horrible phone call and I am confused on what they actually do ! The lady that answered the phone needs some training on how to communicate with people because the level of snarky rude comments were not ok

Pawsitive Place Rescue took in a stray whom my neighbors were trying to trap and dump "in the country" along with her buddy whom they had trapped and dumped the day before. When I dropped her off at their rescue it was clean and the dogs all looked well cared for. I applaud the work they're doing. Caring for animals is a full time and consuming commitment that not many people would take on. I appreciate them giving these strays a chance at the loving home that they deserve and need. Kudos to you Pawsitive Place Rescue!

The best most caring people ever!! They really care about the dogs and are dedicated to getting many off the euthanasia list as they can. They do a great job trying to get these dogs seen and adopted and matched with perfect families. We are regular donors of supplies and we can’t say enough good things about them.

Pawsitive Place Rescue is a wonderful dog rescue serving the East Texas -TYLER area. They truly care about the welfare of the dogs in their care as well as the dogs in need in our community and community shelters. They advocate for humane treatment for all animals. They are also so good about connecting people with the right dog, they want to make sure that people and pets have a wonderful lifetime experience. I’m grateful for the work they are doing and the help they have provided me with getting my sweet shelter dog Annie adjusted in our home and checking in to make sure things are going well. Both ladies are easy to talk to and so knowledgeable about various dog breeds and behaviors. If you’re looking to adopt please consider working with Pawsitive Place Rescue.

We had an excellent experience adopting Oreo through this rescue. From the very beginning, the team was compassionate, communicative, and clearly dedicated to the wellbeing of their dogs. Transport from Texas to Vermont was handled professionally, and Oreo arrived safe, calm, and already clearly loved by the people caring for him along the way.
The rescue was honest about his medical needs and provided clear information and support during the process, which we greatly appreciated. It’s obvious this organization works incredibly hard to give dogs a second chance and match them with the right homes.
Oreo has already brought so much joy into our household, and we are deeply grateful to everyone involved in helping him get here. Thank you for the work you do for these animals every day.
