We were having to make the difficult decision to put our 16yr old dog down due to severe health issues. Our daughter knew how difficult it was going to be for us even though we still had our little 2 yr old pup. I was vaguely aware of Pawsitively Rescue in Newberg Oregon but wasn’t ready to consider getting a rescue puppy. Our daughter saw their Facebook Page with pictures of some puppies available. With no intention of adopting a puppy we decided just to go see them. When we arrived we were greeted very kindly and the puppy we were interested in was brought to us. It was love at first sight! We had to fill out papers in order to be approved to visit. Everyone was extremely pleasant and we could instantly tell the staff loved what they were doing, as did the volunteers. Needless to say we adopted our little girl Known as “Celeste” to them and renamed “Hazel” by us. She was too young to take home until a month later. After bringing her home in December, after a week we were able to say goodbye to our faithful companion Bo. I love the fact that Pawsitively Rescue has an Alumni page. We’ve been able to connect to Hazel’s siblings and mother. The adoption process went seamlessly and the staff spent a considerable amount time with us. Hazel was born when her mother was rescued and was cuddled and loved by staff and volunteers there from day 1 of her life. She’s a sweetheart! When I took her to our vet he asked where we’d gotten her and when I told him, he instantly said “Pawsitively Rescue does a great job!”

"Richard and carol do an amazing job helping so many dogs. I got Elsie from them and she had loving, compassionate care with them. She became sick and had to be hospitalized. She was fortunate to be in a rescue where they were willing to take such good care of her. They continue to do wonderful work."

"Our first rescue comes from Mexico via PSR and our next from Northern California. They are the most loving, silly and wonderful creatures and it all started with the positive, loving and safe environment they were rescued into, Pawsitively Saved Rescue. Kindness, compassion and tireless dedication to finding loving homes for the dogs and puppies is such a gift to the community. They provide an invaluable service with love."

"We adopted 2 boys from Pawsativley saved after the tragic loss of our dachshund. We were met with so much love and kindness and given all the time we needed to spend time there and play and love on the dogs. We went in to adopt one to add to our family and give our remaining dog a friend and we ended up falling in love with two. My sister has adopted through them and we tell everyone about them. They are so wonderful and we are so in love with our boys Bailey and Chewy and they make the best companions for our dog Max."

"My kids and I have been volunteering with pawsitively saved and we love it. The employees know all the dogs personalities and work very hard to make a big impact on the lives of the dogs and the people who interact with them. The dogs and adopters ultimately gain a new family member and friend through this important rescue. They work hard to match the pups with a family that will enrich the pups life and where the pup will bring joy to the family. We are happy to have a rescue like this in our community!"

"We started fostering for Pawsitively Saved in October 2022. We were helping with a litter of 4 week old puppies that recently entered into Pawsitively Saved Rescue’s care, with mom being a stray. PSR was caring for two litters of puppies, so much love and dedication for these animals. Richard has a huge heart as do all of the people who work or volunteer for PSR. They are knowledgeable, caring and have the best interest of every dog in mind. Love this rescue and proud to say we ended up adopting the two fosters we started with in 2022 :)"

"I was looking for a new family member and found ‘Bow’ posted we set an appointment to meet her and fell in love. Found out she came from our hometown as a stray and ended up being pregnant. Richard was amazing through all of that, took her back for her to have her puppies and then we made sure she got fully vetted! No more babies for her and now she is living a happy life back in our hometown with 2 of her babies plus 2 other fursisters. Richard and his team do such an amazing job working their dogs and getting them into the best homes. Thank you again!!"

"pawsitively Saved is a wonderful organization. They take in many dogs who have had terrible experiences in their lives, work to rehabilitate them and to find them homes. I have 2 dogs from them, a young female who came from a terrible hoarding situation first. We found that she was pregnant and they helped me with all the whelping equipment that i needed, vet appts., etc, then helped by finding homes for the puppies. Next I tried fostering a young dog who had been in the rescue for too long, and ended up adopting her. They really care for their dogs, and are so supportive of the families who adopt! We love them."

"I adopted Blue at the beginning of 2022. I had been looking for a small to medium size dog but absolutely fell in love with his 1 blue eye. When I heard he was their longest resident at the time, at 6 months stay, I knew he needed a good home. The staff at Positively Saved were responsive and eager to help find Blue the perfect home. He was a 50 pound excitable handful but they just kept saying he had great potential - and they were right. It was obvious that the staff had put a lot of time and effort into training and caring for him. Blue has blossomed into a loving, nearly 100 pound, adult dog who loves life and family."

Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't.
