Ulster County Canines

Amazing group of people that have dedicated their lives to helping dogs in need. I’ve adopted 2 wonderful dogs from them and have fostered a few others. I’d recommend anyone looking to save a life to contact or donate to UCC!

On May 22, my beautiful friend and I went to Ulster County Canines to meet one dog and ended up adopting another. Jamie and Adam were both forthcoming about the first desired dog’s personality, characteristics, ability to get along with other dogs, etc.. Unfortunately, I decided he would not be a good fit for my home. Adam told me about Phantom, a lab mix, who was a stray in Louisiana. Phantom was exactly the type of dog I wanted. He was curious, friendly and showed his personality - one that I fell in love with. I am glad to say that Phantom now has a forever home and I will be returning to Ulster County Canines to find him a brother or sister in the near future.

These folks really know their dogs and promote dogs who might otherwise be stigmatized or overlooked. We adopted our sweet girl last year--her family had to bring her back due to COVID-19 hardship and she was emaciated from not eating (a broken heart from pining!). We explained the type of dog that would be the best fit for our home and Aimee said, "Well, I've got just the dog for you if you're willing to give her a shot. She's a little neurotic and skinny but she's not sick--people keep passing her over because they think she's ill, but she's really just sad and misses her family." Ruby crawled into my lap and totally changed my mind and heart that day, because I had been hesitant about getting a dog, let alone a pit mix. She mellowed out, chunked up, and became our block's sheriff to watch over the kids on the street :) We bring Ruby back for boarding sometimes (it's a shlep, but they're like a second family to her so it's worth the drive). So much love! TL;DR Listen to the workers, they know these dogs like no one's business! Ask them for a recommendation and describe your needs.

Berta loves coming to visit and spend her vacation from mom and dad here! She loves Jamie and the staff as she was rescued and one of their special jems I found online. Berta has been a great dog and so over the top loving. And when I pick her up she doesn't know whether to be happy I'm there or sad she's leaving. She comes home a happy girl and they take the very best care of her.

If I could give zero stars I would. The more and more I try to get my REFUNDABLE deposit back from this place, the more I feel like they scam people with their own money. We adopted our puppy back in February 2022 and we decided to use our own vet to get him neutered because we live over an hour away from them. I was told to email them the neuter certificate and they we send us the deposit we paid at the time of the adoption. I followed through and sent the information the same day he was neutered on 05/31/2022. They didn't even reply to my email until 08/22/2022 after I post a review on Facebook and saw many other people are having the same issue with them. I sent them my husband PayPal information so we can finally get our deposit back and again nothing. Still no refund, no follow up email saying when we receive the money. Nothing. I am fed up with this place! I will be filing a suit with small claims court to get my money back. If you don't want to get the run around, do not use this place!!!!
