I have been a volunteer with OPIN for the past year and have had the immense pleasure of learning about their incredible organization. I'm so thankful to be a part of such a dedicated group of people that work non stop to help save, protect and nurture needy animals that would otherwise perish at the hands of shelters and unfit owners. I can truly say that OPIN does the work and performs the miracles of angels. Thanks to the knowledge they share, I have been able to educate family and friends on the importance of adoption and to make them aware of the need to commit to doing their part to save the lives of other unfortunate animals. Thanks OPIN for all you do - I am proud to be able to play a part in your efforts.

My husband and I have been supporting O.P.I.N. since it's inception. This group of dedicated voulunteers in conjunction with The Stamford Animal Shelter do amazing work with an attitude that no challenge is too big. They resolve the problems for individual dogs with special medical needs or adoptions as well as the local Stamford, CT area pet population with programs such as spray/neuter, and micro chipping. We have not encountered a better run local non profit in our many years of supporting various organizations. Hopefully future years of support will allow them to help even more of the animals that are desperately in need of our help. Mike & Kathy A.

I just adopted princess snow white, an elderly dog from opin[stamford shelter I thank them from the bottom of my heart for helping princess to survive her three operations so I could adopt this beautiful dog.,If they hadnt put her picture on the internet I never would have seen Princess They worked so hard saving her life after all the traumas she went through. She had cancer 2 times and had a growth removed and was also spayed. Opin even found donors to help pay for her operations--just amazing! Princess never would have survived if it wasnt for Opin. They found her wandering the streets and in very bad condition. They are incredible people full of love and compassion They made sure she was well nurtured and even got her a foster mother to help her transition to a fur-ever home.. They made sure that I would provide a decent home for this poor traumatized dog. Opin even delivered her to me on that special heartwarming day when I met these beautiful people!! Princess is thriving and she is definitely a survivor -- a happy ending!What a difference they make in society for animals and people!! I love you all--Thank-you Opin all the best to you all sincerly veronica

The volunteers from OPIN work tirelessly to help homeless dogs and cats in Stamford. They recently organized a free microchip clinic with the cooperation of a local car dealership that volunteered the space. The OPIN volunteers spend a great deal of time at the shelter facilitation adoptions, giving quality time walking and TLC with the animals. The shelter is a rundown dump, but because of OPIN it is bursting with LOVE. Many of the dogs are pit bulls difficult to place but the OPIN volunteers see through the perception and even organize weekly, free, dog training classes.

We were connected with our beloved pet Murphy through OPIN. Murphy was 9 1/2 yrs old, and over 90 pounds when we got him. His owner was a Vietnam Vet who had taken ill and was unable to continue to care for him. After place after place told the owner that Murphy would have to be euthanized because of his big size and advanced age, he found OPIN. They found Murphy foster homes; bought him bedding; and took note of his habits so they could educate his new people including improving his eating habits. They took photos of him and used their connections with the Stamford Animal Control to get the word out about this wonderful dog. They screened us carefully. They brought him to our house and made sure it was a good connection before leaving him with us. They checked in on him throughout our time together. Without OPIN Murphy would have senselessly been killed because he was big and old. Because of OPIN we just had 3 1/2 fantastic years with a loving companion. We will be forever grateful for all their efforts with Murphy and trusting us with him. We will definitely contact them when we're ready to adopt again.

We have always known about OPIN, and always adopted rescue animals, but recently worked with OPIN to adopt Jack, a 10 year old beagle that OPIN found wandering the streets. They took him in, saw to his health care (24 of his teeth had to be pulled) and put him in a wonderful foster home, where we found him. We were allowed to foster him for a bit to see if he fit in with our other two dogs and our cat, and then decided to adopt him. OPIN was great through the whole process, I think the work they do is selfless and amazing. We learned about a free micro chipping they were doing and got one of our other dogs micro chipped a few weeks ago. I would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a dog or cat. RESCUES ROCK!!

I learned about micro-chipping and other ways to protect my pet through this organization. The volunteers work tirelessly to find homes for the homeless pets in our community. I donate to this organization because of their transparency, I get to see how my dollars are being utilized.
