i recently adopted my baby Maggie from them. i was skeptical at first but i took a giant leap, did the down payment and they set up logistics. and we got our baby Maggie. Now my family and Maggie are bonding well. Please note that some scammers are pretending to be Pawscentre.com. so beware
This is a legitimate rescue before adopted i asked them a soft copy of vet records ,Form 1023, IRS and annual information return (Form 990 Series) and EIN which they provided and my dog was flown to PA safely. i recommend you adopt from them in other not to get scammed!

Facebook posted an ad from what appeared to be an animal shelter for rescue dogs. Their website is pawscentre.com. The scam is they charge $300 for the adoption fee, $200 is requested up front to cover shipment costs as the pet is "located" too far away for personal pickup. Very convincing scam, they sent pictures and video of the dog as well as a lengthy description of his routine, preferences, etc. One of their methods of payment is a WalMart gift card. I sent that and they sent back saying it wasn’t activated. Took it to WalMart and for whatever reason WalMart couldn’t see the card had been drained. I then sent the $200 via CashApp before I realized I was being scammed.
