Absolutely awful people, dirty facilities, & lied about condition of the animal. My heart breaks for the animals that are stuck being there.

Filled out an application and was approved. They asked me when I wanted to come in...I answered. They never got back to me. They ended up giving the cat to someone else a week later.

My experience with them was 10/10 recommend. Very sweet staff, clean environment and organized. You can tell these animals are cared for well and loved and next time I'm looking to adopt again I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for giving me my amazing fur baby!

We found our pup on Pet Finder. We submitted an application to RVAR and within a couple of days we heard back. Dawn, the Kennel Manager, was very responsive, very professional, and very concern about the welfare of all the pups at their facility. She called our vet and checked up on us, I thought that was great. The place was as clean as you can hope an animal shelter can be. We drove an hour to RVAR in hopes that this cute pup would fit into our family. Dawn brought us into a room and then brought our pup into the room. She sat with us for awhile and watched. Then she gave us as much time as we needed alone with our pup. We absolutely fell in love our new baby. He's the perfect fit for our family and we decided to adopt him. RVAR rescued him, his 2 siblings, and their mom from a kill shelter in Kentucky and we will be forever grateful to RVAR! Dawn took our first family photo and she even checked in with us the next day to see how we were all doing. Thank you Dawn and RVAR..... 5 STARS!!!!

Trying to get an dog at the place is an little confusing especially when you catch the people working in their own lies, guess I was checking up on the dog that I wanted too much they make you feel like your bothering them, but yet an nice place just some people.

Put in an application for adoption. At the end of the application it asked for donations. I figured that if I didn't donated anything my application would end up at the bottom of the pile. The exact same dog I applied for weeks ago they they're showing that it's STILL not adopted yet. It's like you have to buy the animal. And I scanned their FB page every week and I noticed that none of the adoptees that they posted are people of color ??♀️. It's easy to search applicants because you have to give up so much info. It would have been nice to get an email or call to find out if I was or wasn't a good fit. Truthfully I didn't feel comfortable "DONATING" at the end of my application as if I'm buying the dog. I personally prefer to just buy a dog vs forced donation to only get rejected.

River Valley Rescue is a terrific animal shelter. The people running the place are fantastic. They are very knowledgable about pet health and behavior and really care about finding the best home and fit for the pets. Some people are just not meant to be fur parents. You must be good hearted and empathetic. The animals are very well taken care of and they are happy. So if you are an animal lover looking to adopt check this shelter out!!!

This place needs to have someone do over sight of what they are doing. My family put in an application and it took 4 weeks to be told the dog had been adopted and when they were called river valley was very unprofessional over the phone. They do not respond to email, they do not call back voicemail and they are extremely rude and discriminatory. I will personally be doing everything I can to see that someone else is in charge there and that the people working there take care of those animals and treat the community with more respect.
