The movie is shamelessly manipulative on several levels, and the cast members do their respective bits effectively.
Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com

Rescue-dog purists may not approve of the line "The Dog Lover" takes, yet to this dog lover it comes off as compassionate and realistic: a plea for a place where good care can become common sense.
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
Rotten
The film's prevailing theme may be that nothing is black and white, but the execution ... proves spottier than a kennel full of caged Dalmatians.
