“I have seen 3 members in the Forster area. I have fostered over 30 dogs for AWL & Sweet Pea - both great organisations.
I have just had the fis pleasure of fostering for George Web pet rescue (Georgia) who didn’t follow any protocols, was ungrateful and showed no appreciation, management skills and deplorable communication.
My advise to anyone contemplating using this service is DON’T.
She is not registered (as are AWL&Sweet Pea) and has no integrity, appreciation or care.
We had to initiate the dogs desexing.
His microchip was still in his owners name.
She did not check on his welfare (even after his desexing operation) during our 4 months of care.
Even after two (2) unanswered messages his worming chew was 2 days late & just left at the front door ( we were home but no one rang the doorbell or knocked).
We were not invited to his hand over until we virtually demanded it.

“I found Petrescue's communication to be poor and at times, non existent. Yes, I get it, they're all volunteers. In the end, I sought my new boy from other sources.”
“To ad to my recent review, I submitted a query to PR regarding the trial period and auto responses and I received a helpful reply from their customer service. There are provisions for adoption groups to mark the ad when a pet is on hold or on trial. The status is marked adopted if trial is successful or ad is reactivated if not. Some groups do not choose to use this feature.
There is also a provision to auto update enquirers each time a PetRescue listing is updated to on hold or adopted. Some adoption groups don't use the feature and others request external applications or direct emails, therefore the auto responder feature is not used as the communications are not on the PR platform.
With my pet application, the adoption group chose not to use the features I described above, and they also omitted to specify a key adoption criteria on their ad. The handling of their ad was tardy and not the fault of PR. I'm not suggesting PR are in anyway perfect but I do believe in giving fair and balanced reviews.”
