Review for Best Dawg Rescue Inc., Bethesda, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I first became aware of Best Dawg Rescue as an adopter and subsequently became an active volunteer. The adoption experience was positive in every way. The love and care expended on all of the dogs is exceptional, both those still waiting to be adopted and dogs who have already been placed with their new families. The commitment to each dog begins when he or she comes into Dawg custody...and continues througout each dog's life. I personally have benefitted from the help and support of the Board members and senior volunteers as I have worked through issues with my own dogs. If all rescue groups and shelters sustained this kind of commitment following adoptions, many fewer animals would be turned in to shelters.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

seeing dogs who were abused, neglected, or sick recover their health, gain trust in people, and regain their natural joy and exuberance through the tireless work of Best Dawg Rescue.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

seeing the lives of so many dogs transformed, and feeling confident that the care given with each placement ensures a safe and happy future for each dog.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

totally committed to the dogs in their care and unwilling to place dogs in situations that could put them in future jeopardy. Dogs are not "passed out" to help the bottom line or enhance placement statistics.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

help more dogs. It could also develop training for dogs in good behavior and training for people in basic care of and responsbililities to their dog companions.
