My husband and I had moved across country for his work, and had just recently lost our 15.5 year old dog beforehand. Thinking we weren’t ready, we stumbled upon a story that touched us to our very core. We had never dealt with a formal rescue agency before and were nervous about the process, as our family’s dogs had simply been found and plucked from the streets or high kill shelters with no time to spare. The moment we met Wilma and our soon to be baby Benito, a piece of our hearts that was waiting to heal started to fill. We brought him home in January, and to say he has changed our world and our lives is a complete understatement. More like, he IS our world, he IS our lives, everything we do is to give him joy, love, and experiences. Who knew such a small dog could have such a big heart. All he needed was a fresh start to make up for his traumatic start to life. And we couldn’t be more grateful to Wilma and the US Dog Coalition. We send her monthly photos and detailed updates about his adventures, and are so lucky to have found her and our baby boy. Thank goodness she and her network of selfless heroes exist. She truly is working to change the world for the better.
We adopted our dog Teddy from the US Dog Coalition and couldn't be happier with our experience. They are a wonderful rescue that goes out of their way to find loving homes for all of their pups. Wilma, the founder, is committed to saving as many dogs as she can and has built up a wonderful network of both fosters and adopters. We hope to become more involved in the rescue process in the future and count Wilma as a new friend!
My family fostered a puppy for this rescue and had the best experience. They were so easy and great to work with and we got to help pick out the pup's forever family. It was a wonderful fostering experience. This rescue really cares deeply about the dogs they take in and want to find the best homes for them.
