Nothing But Love Canine Foundation is exactly that! Valerie is amazing!!! She makes the adoption process thorough, very personable and efficient! We adopted our little Lola and we are so thankful that we were able to have such a positive experience all around. Highly recommend!!
I recently adopted a puppy from nothing but love canine. I could not be happier. She does an amazing job caring for these dogs and it shows with how happy they are.
Valerie helped us to find the absolute perfect dog to complete our little family. She was honest, flexible, and made the process seamless. She described everything to us before hand and we felt no pressure when we went to meet Barry… but we fell in love within seconds! These dogs are seriously loved and cared for before you adopt, which makes the transition much much easier. We love our Barry and are forever grateful to NBLCF and Valerie!
Fantastic organization ! Our family adopts senior dogs, we worked with Nothing But Love canine foundation to adopt a senior Chihuahua mix they had rescued from a shelter. They had him vet checked and vaccinated. They were extremely professional and thorough. I highly recommend this group. They are fantastic!
Valerie and Nothing But Love Foundation we're wonderful. Process of adaptation went very smooth. Valerie was the only agency that even acknowledged my interest in adopting a dog, Taz now known as Teddy was in great health neutered chipped and vaccinated which was a big help and we was well adjusted and not stressed. Teddy is still a puppy at 43 lbs but we're loving every minute, he's great with my grandchildren and is doing great with adults as well lol. I give Valerie and the foundation a 10+ I can't say enough on how happy he's made my family.
Valerie and her team are miracle workers. Two years ago they found the perfect puppy for me, Denver and now they have done it again with my new puppy, Summer Blossom. Summer was a medical needs dog that Valerie fostered until she was well enough to come to me. The transformation was incredible as I watched her through photos and videos. I fell in love with Summer and today she is in her forever home not only with other dogs but cats too! I am forever grateful to the Nothing But Love foundation.

I had a truly amazing experience with Val, after attending an adoption event I started to fall for a small bundle of happiness named Lily, now known as Oats!. I immediately reached out to start the process. It went smoothly and Val is clear and great with communication every step of the way. Within a week we were all set to go, had a great in person meeting and was able to take her home that day. I feel extremely blessed that I got so lucky with this one. She’s been home two days, and has really started to shine already and the most happy go lucky yet chill dog I’ve ever owned. Val is passionate about her work and very easy to talk to and open about the dogs. If you’re looking to adopt, Nothing but Love Canine Foundation is the way to go you won’t be sorry.
Wow! We lucked out with the perfect dog from Nothing But Love! We took Delilah aka "Dilly" home about 5 weeks ago, and it's a total "who rescued who" situation. She is exactly what we needed. She is doing great in our home, learning from and terrorizing our older dog, and bringing endless joy. I like to think she is happy here, too. This week, she became more comfortable with swimming. Our experience with Nothing But Love was seamless and easy. The passion that Val and the rescue show for these dogs is very apparent, and their experience with the foster/adopt process gives peace of mind. It took a lot of willing people to get Dilly all the way from Kentucky to us, and we are very grateful.
Val was amazing! She made sure we had everything we needed to get started with our newest little family member! I felt so comfortable taking a dog from someplace that really made sure she was well socialized and loved so the adjustment goes smoothly!
It was a pleasure dealing with Val and the Nothing But Love Canine Foundation! Within a few hours of submitting my application to adopt “Ellie,” Val had contacted me about what the process would entail, and we set up a meeting date. As this was my first experience with a rescue agency, I was surprised at how easily Val guided me through the adoption. She also provided me with numerous resources for Ellie’s care. In a matter of days, Ellie was in my home and getting quite comfortable! For anyone looking for their furever canine companion, Val is the best!!! I give Nothing But Love Canine Foundation a 10+ rating!

Nothing But Love Canine Foundation Inc. is awesome! We have rescued in the past, however, our experience with NBLCF was by far the BEST! Val's professionalism, devotion, and pure love for her pups is amazing. 5/25/24 was a very special day, Chester, now Teddy, was their 150th pup to be adopted...to our family!...and we are so blessed to have him spend his life with us. NBLCF...We promise to spoil Teddy with tons of love, pets, and puppy kisses. and make him very happy in his forever home. We highly recommend anyone wishing to adopt to speak to Val...so much love and caring put into this organization. 5 stars***** Love you guys! Carol & Nick Mazza from Lords Valley, PA
When God closes one door; he opens another.
My husband and I were blessed with five Rottweilers and a Belgian Malinois over the last twenty three years. We lost our Rottie, Lucy ,last May to cancer and we lost our Mal ,Sadie , just this past March.
Just when we knew we were ready; Val from NBLFC came into our lives. From our first interaction with her, I knew she was the one who was going to help our hearts heal. Throughout the process, I think Val has adopted us! I email, call and text her and she’s always there. We were not able to meet anyone else from this fabulous rescue, but I want to thank them because I’m sure they were a part of this process.
If you are looking to rescue or help a rescue, I hope you consider them. We feel complete again now that we have a new baby to love. NBLFC gave that gift to us.
We have always rescued dogs from Rescues and have had both good and bad experiences. Nothing But Love Canine rescue is WONDERFUL! They are responsible, organized and selective!; their descriptions are accurate and The dogs are totally vetted and socialized before release. We adopted the beautiful Paloma and are already in love. She is smart and healthy and already gets along with our other dog. I highly recommend this rescue because they do such a good job and are great to deal with.
We can't believe how smooth and wonderful our experience with this organization was. We were looking for a the right fit for our home, and were connected with Val, whose care, communication, and responsiveness were immediately apparent. We brought our current dog to meet sweet Piper, now Tallulah, and let them acclimate to one another, and within a week she was cozied up with us at home. We are beside ourselves- she is a very special girl. Thank you, Val- and to everyone involved - for the work you do for these animals and for facilitating accessible and thoughtful adoption services. We are grateful!
We searched for a dog to rescue after losing our family friend of 15 1/2 years to old age. We found the perfect dog through this rescue group. The process of inquiry and application were extremely quick and simple. The rescue group was gracious enough to bring the dog to us to meet our family and after a home visit ,COLE found his forever home.Thank you Valerie and Grace for all your help and for everything you do for all the dogs you rescue.
Love, Jason, Julie, Anthony and Ava DePaulo.
We adopted little Poppy Girl (now named Daisy Mae) this morning and have already settled in with our new family member. We look forward to watching Daisy Mae adjust and realizing that she is finally “home”. Nothing But Love Canine Foundation was easy to work with, thorough with making sure we were a good fit and that we would care for Daisy Mae well for the rest of her life. Our current pup, Annabelle, and Daisy Mae are already doing well together. Our contract contains everything that was important to us in making sure a rescue cares about finding their fosters’ forever homes. Highly recommend :)
What a fantastic experience with Nothing But Love! Valerie truly lives up to that name, from how she cares for the dogs to how much support she gives the adopters and everything in between! We had a fantastic experience adopting our very first dog, John-Henry. Valerie shows so much love and dedication to finding these animals a forever home that's right for everyone. We're thrilled! Thank you, Valerie & Nothing But Love!
We adopted little miss Ginger (now Mable) from the NBLCF. Our experience with Valerie was just outstanding. I could tell that she truly cares about her animals and takes time into placing them into the correct homes. The adoption process was quick and easy. Before the adoption, Valerie was sending me updates (which is always nice). There is nothing negative to say at all. The most generous, nurturing, and forgiving person. Thank you Valerie (and Kya) for your graciousness!!!! We are so so happy!!! If you are looking for a dog, she has some available!!! :)
We adopted Ralph yesterday and he’s the most amazing fit with our other Cocker Spaniel, Benny. The two of them are quickly becoming best friends and are eager to play together. Valerie and her family were amazing! They very clearly care so much about dogs and the work that they are doing. The adoption process was quick, but Valerie is very thorough to ensure that the dogs are a great fit with your family and lifestyle! I would definitely recommend Nothing But Love to anybody looking to adopt, we could not be more happy!
We adopted Hank from NBLCF. We are blown away by this amazing group of people. Valerie is a complete sweetheart who explained everything and was so clear in doing so - but she was also an amazing listener. The process was quick and thorough. Grace fostered Hank - when we had our meet and greet Grace was there. This was very helpful because she was able to answer some questions I had about Hank's daily happenings. We couldn't be happier with the way this adoption went and needless to say - we LOVE and ADORE Hank already.
We adopted our pup Trudy from Nothing But Love, and it was a great experience. Valerie took the time to talk with us over the phone about our setup and the dog’s needs, and to introduce Trudy to our other dog in an unhurried and careful way. NBL has continued to provide support to us in caring for our pup even after the adoption has been finalized. Highly recommend!
We adopted our pup from Nothing but Love this fall and had a wonderful experience. Valerie took her time to speak to me about our dog and our family to make sure we would be a good fit. Her assessment of Lorna was very honest and accurate. She is a sweet, loving dog who still has some puppy habits (like jumping). She’s been wonderful with our children and other animals. Our Lorna is just the sweetest soul. Highly recommend!
Nothing But Love - says it all! This foundation has helped numerous dogs and rescues up and down the east coast! We are adopting our 2nd pup from Val & Bruce. If not for their efforts, and the efforts of their partners and volunteers, this sweet boy wouldn't be around for the love he will be showered with for the rest of his years. Transformation pic and a pic with his new family are attached. We can't say enough positive words, thanks for all you do NBLCF!
We recently adopted from Nothing but Love. It was quick, easy, and smooth. Val and Grace went out of their way to do the right thing for our new addition and for us, and we greatly appreciate it. This was my first experience adopting a pet, and I found other places made it seem like the prospective parents were on trial. With NBLC it wasn’t that way at all. We will continue supporting their cause through donations in the future.
Such an easy process working with NBLC! We went to met one dog at an adoption clinic and ended up falling head over heels for a different one! Val was so quick to respond to all messages and question we had. We’re so happy we got to take Lily (phoenix) to her forever home with us
We were hoping to find a new dog to become a member of our family and Nothing But Love has provided us the perfect fit. After submitting an adoption request we were promptly contacted by Valerie. We couldn't be happier about how the adoption was handled and the new member of our family, 6 mos old Fiona is exactly the type of dog we were looking for. We would highly recommend using this adoption group to anyone looking for a pet.
Fantastic experience! You can tell how much Valerie and her crew care about each and every dog they rescue. It’s not a numbers game, they seek to make sure each placement is a perfect fit. For us, that extra care and attention meant that our boy received some extra special training and we were able to confidently know that he would be gentle with kids. They were totally upfront about any issues we might expect based on their observations, and they sent him home with all the essentials. We wholeheartedly recommend adopting from and supporting Nothing But Love!
We live in a poor rural county and have a problem with overpopulation due to the lack of affordable spay and neuter services. Nothing But Love Canine Foundation has helped us spay and neuter over 48 animals in our community. This has a significant impact; we will continue to work with Nothing But Love to keep this positive program moving.
We adopted Marley last weekend. Val could not be more helpful. Provided as much information about our new girl as she could. We have been so supported through this process, and we are still in touch! So far so good with her big brother. Thank you Val!

Rescue is a super hard thing to do and stick with. Val found her passion and ran with it. We all have ideas, but it takes a special person to put it into action, and an even better person to be successful. There is nothing Val can’t or won’t do when it comes to helping animals and their families. I am 1 of the hundreds of people that have adopted a dog from her, and I know if I ever faced a hardship, she would be the first person to offer help. She takes her time to come up with really successful fundraising, and helps not just our community, but all over the country. We are so fortunate to have Val and her extremely supportive husband, Bruce!
Pictured is my Lucy (Val’s foster) with her best friend, Kita (also a rescue) on their most recent beach vacation to Cape Cod!
We have worked with Valerie Ellsworth previously when we rescued Ellie in September 2021. Val was very helpful through the process. Ellie is a love but can be a bit destructive. Val offered to take her back, that is not how I work. We learn and we grow. We recently lost our dog, Cooper to prostate cancer. Lefty and Ellie have been very sad. We decided to rescue to help them move on. We of course thought of Nothing But Love Canine Foundation, Inc as we had had such a good experience previously with Val and Bruce. They were very thorough in checking to make sure we would be good dog parents which made us feel good. Making sure that we care for our pets, calling our vet and our references. It is a huge responsibility taking care of a pet and I am very thankful Val and Bruce are caring and responsible in making sure they find the right home for the rescues they have. I would recommend Nothing But Love Canine Foundation to anyone looking to rescue a dog in need. There are so many rescue dogs out there that need our help, thank you to all of the people that help and support this foundation, your help is greatly appreciated. We now have Scout, he is helping all of us heal, Cooper was well loved and is missed terribly. Rescuing is a reward of unconditional love with lots of kisses and smiles, that just feels so right!
I have been wanting a puppy for so long… I have seen the adoptions, care, love and beauty happening with Nothing But Love Canine Foundation… so I wanted to adopt through them then I saw this beautiful girl… with those adorable markings and eyes and knew she was meant to be mine ❤️ the application and whole process was easy.. and comfortable… they really do make sure the pups will be going to a loving home…
I couldn’t be happier with them and my little Sookie girl
Valerie has been a huge blessing to our rescue here in Alabama. She takes in our babies and loves them as her own. Not to mention all of the other countless selfless things that she helps us with!! R.U.F.F. appreciates and loves you!! ❤️
Val and NBLCF have been a god send to the animals in our rural county in Alabama. We could never thank her enough for all of her help!
My husband and and I wanted a loving, family dog ahead of the birth of our first child. We spoke with Valerie about what we were looking for and she had the perfect dog in mind. Betty (fka Sadie) is exactly what we were looking for. Valerie went out of her way to arrange transport for Betty, helped us introduce her to our other dogs and continued to offer support to make sure it was a smooth transition for Betty and for us. Valerie is very knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know each dog to ensure they are placed in the right home. The care and attention from Valerie and Nothing But Love Canine Foundation is top-notch! Our adoption experience with Nothing But Love Canine Foundation has been amazing. We highly recommend them!
Betty Rose was an answer to my prayer. After losing our Daisy to the Rainbow Bridge I didn’t think I could ever go through that intense pain again. But shortly thereafter I realized I couldn’t live without a furbaby. I’ve had one my entire life. The transition was truly amazing! NBLCF and my Rescue
“gal- Val” were a Godsend. She explained everything. Val was so great and continues to be putting up with my “daily” concerns with patience and encouragement. NBLCF is truly dedicated to the welfare of the abandoned, abused or left behind dogs.
I am blessed….. ♥️
Mere words cannot describe our wonderful experiences with Val. She connected us with our sweet Bella and this week, the newest love of our life, Bailey. Val and Bruce have shown “Nothing But Love” to so many deserving furry friends. A great organization that deserves our support and hearty thanks.
We are so lucky to have met Valerie from Nothing But Love and be paired up with the perfect addition to our family. Parker was taken great care of leading up to the adoption and we couldn’t be happier :)
Loved, Loved, loved everything about our experience with Nothing but love canine foundation. Val and Bruce are fantastic, I couldn't be more thrilled with how the adoption of our new family member went. They truly do their best to make sure the fit is perfect for pet and new family. The goal is to have a successful pairing and they are 100% committed to that, it shows in every aspect of their process. We are so grateful for our Birdie (aka Della). She is a joy and the perfect addition to our family.
We recently adopted a dog from Nothing But Love Canine Foundation and I am absolutely thrilled with my new furry family member! Val was incredibly friendly, helpful, and transparent throughout the entire process. She answered all of my questions and made sure that I was a good fit for the dog I was interested in.
It’s obvious that Val really cares about the well-being of the animals in her care. The dog I adopted, Charlotte, is well-behaved and well-adjusted, which I attribute to the excellent care she received at the rescue.
I am so grateful to Val and Nothing But Love Canine Foundation for helping me and my family find the perfect companion. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone looking to adopt a dog. They truly deserve a 5-star rating for their dedication to finding loving homes for these amazing animals.
The work that Val, and the Nothing But Love Canine Foundation does is invaluable to the lives of the pups that she helps! Not only do they help acquire funding so as many dogs as possible can get spayed/neutered and get the Heartworm prevention medication they so need, Val also personally drives wherever the cause takes her to rescue these animals from desperate and heartbreaking situations.
She, and her husband, Bruce, personally foster the rescues in their home- where they and their personal dogs start to show them the love that they often times have never known.
With the thoroughness of Val’s interviews, home, reference and vet checks and then meeting your new furbaby in person and their foolproof contract, she makes every single effort to ensure her rescues are going to the best homes!! (If an organization is doing any less, I don’t feel they’re in it for the sake of the dog).
I was fortunate to have found one of NBLCFs rescues on Petfinder, and have gotten to know Val through the adoption process. She truly has a heart of gold and what she (and they) are doing is changing the lives of many dogs; and giving them a life they never knew existed.
She is also changing the lives of people, of the adopters whose families are now complete because of their new furbaby. I am so in love with my June, and I have Val and NBLCF to thank for everything they do, and for finding her and letting me be her new mom! I can’t say enough good things about this foundation, except please donate, and let all the goodness that Val and her team do continue and grow!
We live on old dirt back roads in North Mississippi where people abandon dogs and cats frequently. Valerie and Nothing But Love Canine Foundation Inc. have paid for 3 dogs to be spayed/neutered that were dropped off on our property. We have worked hard to help these pups recover as they barely had fur from mites and mange when they showed up. Thanks so much to Valerie and others for working to help take spaying/neutering off our plate. They have a loving home to grow old.
We live in a rural area where people abandon dogs and cats frequently. Over the last five weeks Valerie and Nothing But Love Canine Foundation Inc. have paid for five male dogs to be neutered. We have had these dogs for a long while, and because of food and other necessities, we just never could spare the money to pay for neutering. We don't have to worry about that anymore. Thanks so much to Valerie and others working to get this done!
We were so lucky to adopt Teddy from Nothing But Love. Val conducted a very thorough interview and review of our home to ensure we were well matched with our pup. Leading up to the adoption, Teddy was so well cared for and we are beyond grateful. Thank you again to this amazing organization. You do wonderful things!
Nothing But Love Foundation is a godsend! Valerie is all about helping save dogs but providing shelters and rescues financial assistance with spay/neuters. As a rescue we have run into issues many time with being to help a dog break out of the shelter but funding to get them altered got in the way. Without this amazing foundation we wouldn’t be able to rescue those dogs!
Nothing But Love Canine Foundation Inc have been a blessing to the rescue and shelter community! They have gone above and beyond to help with overpopulation by sponsoring spay/neuter surgeries. They have also helped save so many heartworm positive dogs by sponsoring their treatment. Without them so many animals would not have been saved from shelters. They are a wonderful organization doing amazing work!
Val and team at Nothing But Love Canine Foundation Inc are nothing short of amazing. From networking, to outreach, to partnerships, to saving lives, they do it all. Any way they can find to help their fellow rescues, shelters and animal advocates they will. I only wish more people had the same drive and dedication.
You can tell when a person finds their passion in life. That’s exactly what Valerie has done. She is the first to volunteer to assist financially when a rescue may be hesitant to pull a dog. It’s obvious that she sought out a need and came up with a way to provide a solution. By providing funds to cover spays and neuters, she has helped COUNTLESS dogs leave our shelter here in Chesterfield SC. All she says is “Send me pics!…PAID!” Like she waves some mystical wand and “POOF”…the dog leaves us and goes on to a better life. And she just keeps adding to this wonderful foundation! With the addition of a partnership with “Friends Helping the Carolina Pups” she is now assisting these same pups with Heartworm Treatment! We depend on NBLCF so much to help with rescue! This foundation is LITERALLY a LIFESAVER!
Valerie with NBLCF has been an inspiration to me in more ways than one. She has helped our little shelter tremendously with altering our animals. She has pushed me to move forward on days that I want to give up. NBLCF has helped numerous dogs get out of the shelter into their forever homes and without NBLCF it wouldn’t have been possible to move as many dogs as we have.
NBLCF is an amazing program that supports shelters with spay/neuter and heartworm treatment.
Their dedication to helping dogs in need is incredible! The amount of dogs that have been able to get rescue because they have been sponsored is making a significant difference in our world!
This rescue is run with integrity, honor and kindness.
This foundation has helped Crate Escape Rescue, Inc. tremendously with spays and neuters and also with treating some of our heartworm dogs. They are very easy to work with and always willing to find a way to help any dog that needs it. We have helped them develop some new relationships with some of our shelter partners so we can all work together on helping to free dogs from the shelter . We are very glad to have formed a partnership with them. "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much". ~Helen Keller
This foundation really hustles and helps so many dogs. They really are their voice! It's nice to know someone believes so much in spaying and neutering!
Nothing But Love Canine Foundation has been a life saver for our group. As a small rescue their support towards spay and neutering some of our dogs has really helped us expand our abilities to help other dogs in need! We cant thank them enough!!!
Nothing But Love Canine Foundation has been a blessing not only to Fairfield County Shelter but to our Rescue Partners as well. Their spay/neuter sponsorships and assistance with Heartworm treatment has helped save many lives and an opportunity for Rescues to assist further without the restrictions of multiple financial burdens. Valerie and her amazing Team are wonderful to work with and very supportive of rural shelters in need. We are very grateful for all their help! ❤️
