My Nonprofit Reviews

When it came time to rescue a fur baby friend for our senior dog (his two packmates had sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge and left him alone with just the kitties for housemates), F.U.R. was an impressive organization to work with. It was intimidating at first to have to apply and go through interviews and a home inspection to adopt a puppy, but we were impressed by it because that meant these folks are serious about not just finding homes for their rescues... but homes that will be safe and nurturing for them. Their focus is on finding a good match for both the pet and the homeowner and they were in constant communication throughout the whole process. Never once felt confused on next steps or left waiting with questions.

It was also great being able to talk with the foster parent to get a feel for the puppy's temperament and potential challenges ahead of time. Anywhere else and it's a bit of a dice roll what you may get when adopting.

We'll definitely reach out to F.U.R. in the future for all of our rescues over the course of our life moving forward.

After my mother took her life in January 2012, I really wanted to talk about it with anyone who would listen and wanted to hear from people who had already walked this long and sad road that I was just beginning. I visited a grief counselor for 6 free weeks of sessions and while that was helpful, it did not quite fill the need that I had. I live in a relatively small community and there was just no support groups locally for suicide survivors. I did a search online and stumbled onto the Alliance of Hope, and it has truly been helpful. Everyone on the site and forum are supportive and welcoming, and give great advice and overview from their own experience. It has really helped me to feel "normal" in my grief and gives me hope that I can come out the other side of this one day.
