Review for Blind Dog Rescue Alliance, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

when BDRA asked if I could foster a neglected beagle in Missouri with glaucoma (an eye so far gone that that it needed to be removed) and other issues I said yes and started understanding the difficulty dog rescues go thru everywhere. They paid for all of Monte's procedures, which were well beyond the bad eye that needed to be removed; but also skin growths & teeth pulled and dental cleaning. He went from being a neglected, sad and confused dog to a loving & joyous one in a matter of days thanks to their stepping in and rescuing him from a life of neglect in a back yard. They sent me a harness, toys, chews and treats for him in the mail so I wasn't spending my own money. Truly no effort was spared in rescuing this little dog. Then they arranged for transport across country, using volunteers form all the states between Missouri and Pennsylvania to get him into a home. The amount of work and effort they put into rescuing these sight challenged dogs is ENORMOUS. From their constant fund raising efforts to pay for the dog's often major medical issues and donation drives to orchestrating drivers across the country to get the dogs where they need to be...& finally into loving homes, this group just never stops. They never stop caring and working and caring some more.
