Passion for Pitties

I remember being the first one to help Elise. Elise use to work with a lady name Stephanie. They both used me in every way. That fan page Elise has I made, I work on all the albums, all the event adoption meets, and even called all places to step up adoption events.
After making the page, making the word out they basically wanted nothing to do with me and changed the password, called me names. I even had one dog pulled out and she said she did it on her own. Smh. I was up for nights trying to help elise. After name calling I couldn’t do it anymore and brought back the dog I was fostering because she kept trying to tell me how to do things (I have 2 dogs of my own) this women is a thief, liar, and a 2 face. Never ever doing anything for her again.

First, I’m really surprised by the 2 one-​star ratings. Elise runs this show by herself and is as her business name states– Passionate for these dogs. She’s well-​studied in animal behavior and biology, as well as been involved in adoption and rescue for a long time. Being a seasoned veteran, she knows her stuff. Any ‘abrasiveness’ that reviewer complained of was misguided.
One review suggested Fostering is a scam; quite the contrary. The way fostering works is the organizations help to move dogs from shelters to not only free up a potential spot for another dog in need, but also to help dogs that may not be kenneling well at the shelter, for example, and need assistance transitioning to a new environment.
Since seeing a request for fosters on her facebook site, and my husband and I already considering starting the foster process after the loss of our dog last summer, I sent in a request and Elise was always responsive (immediately so) with any emails and questions. She set up a home visit and explained everything thoroughly on how fostering works. She also made sure that we had extensive resources to help us help the dogs.
Passion for Pitties partners with several local organizations to guide/​aid the success of your dog. We were able to utilize free training and vet expenses.
We have been nothing short of impressed with the work she & Passion for Pitties does. She truly works tirelessly to provide for the dogs and for the fosters who work with her, and her adopted dogs, she checks in with the families.
*BTW, we just adopted out one of our first fosters and have another at our house we continue to work with. We are also working on getting another dog in our care.

Last summer we adopted our wonderful Pit Bull from Passion for Pitties. Elise, the founder, was professional in every way. She even threw in the crate for about ½ of its value. She did a home visit first to make sure our home and yard were right for our dog. The dog had had a complete medical check up as well. The fee to adopt was much less than what other rescue agencies had quoted, about $ 190. Elise is very protective of her brood and we surely appreciated that. We couldn’t be happier with our dog Happy. Highly recommended.

My best friend got a great dog from Passion for Pitties. She’s a gorgeous Pitbull mix GORGEOUS!!! Too bad Passions for Pitties is a bait and switch scam, where they trick you into FOSTERING a dog with the option to adopt AT NO CHARGE under the assumption the dog will to be put down. After 6 months of building a bond AND letting this «Organization» know to send the adoption papers. This Elise woman decides to send a nasty email threatening to take the dog by force if they didn’t send her X amount of dollar’s??? I didn’t believe it either till I read the emails and «agreement». What this woman has done and is doing is despicable. She adopts dogs from the humane society then EXPLOITS them out to vet students for unnecessary blood work i.e. drawing the dogs blood for «a donation» to her «Organization» aka her pocket. This woman needs to be stopped. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS «ORGANIZATION»

We came across Passion for Pitties because they were at the San Diego Doggie Festival event this year. I think she said her name was Elise (apparently the founder) — she was nice at first but became extremely rude. I wanted to be rude back and say something about her terrible makeup job with her neon green eyeliner and her botched boob job — but decided to be a better person and just walk away. Other than that, the volunteers were more professional than the chick Elise. I thought it was funny that she bad mouthed pet owners that don’t get their pets fixed — yet they had a pittbull up for adoption that WASN’T FIXED!
This place would probably have a better adoption success rate if the founder wasn’t so rude. I would definitely not recommend friends or family to adopt from this place at all.
