I have volunteered for Dog4U as a foster parent for several years. I know that the animals are well taken care of while under the director's care, and she makes sure they have proper placement when they head north to find their forever homes.
Three things summarize my experience and involvement with Dog4U, Inc.: Donor, Adopter, and Volunteer. Initially I donated to the charity to support a noteworthy cause. I visited their facility on several occasions and eventually decided to adopt a dog. Bringing another dog home, totaling two in my household, was a major decision that took some time to make. Adopting a Pit Bull was the absolute last thing I ever would have imagined myself doing. Alas, I fell for a sweet, quite, friendly bulldog named Mickey. He has been a delightful addition to my family, probably the easiest dog I have ever cared for. He made a seamless transition and has been a wonderful playmate for my older female bird dog mix. After adopting Mickey I was offered the opportunity to make the 2000 mile round trip to Massachusetts as a relief driver for a rescue transport. As it so happened, the trip worked well with my business schedule so I signed on. It was an incredibly rewarding experience and I have participated in two transports since my initiation into animal rescue volunteer work. Having participated as a relief driver on three rescue transports going from South Carolina to New England since June of 2010, I can honestly say that the work Dog4U, Inc. does makes a difference in the lives of countless animals and a reciprocal number of people. My family and I support their mission and look forward to seeing it continue. -Carl
Not many like this one around. Non-kill, fantastic care for the animals, incredible amount of work and commitment by Kristina, who founded the organization and continues to run. Kudos!
This is a wonderful organization that helps to place abandoned and neglected animals and provides care and shelter to those who cannot find homes because of their age or medical condition. All the work is done by volunteers. Kristina, who started Dog4U few years ago, takes care of the animals, runs the office, organizes fundraisers, and writes grants -- all to be able to keep her charges fed, vetted, and loved upon.
