My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for OPIN, Stamford, CT, USA
I first started going to the Stamford Animal Shelter about 4 years ago to make donations of food and other needed items. Eventually, I adopted an old dog who had been dubbed "Grandpa" but I changed to "Rufus." Thru OPIN, Rufus was micro chipped. When Rufus finally succumbed to his deteriorating health due to old age and I had to let him go, I received touching condolence cards from Laurie Hollywood and the wonderful people of OPIN. They never forget an animal that comes through the shelter doors. I recently started volunteering my time at the shelter and I'm inspired by the total devotion that's so evident from the members of this wonderful organization. Just this past Wednesday, during the training session that's provided free of charge to the community, there were so many volunteers present that I think practically every dog at the shelter had a person to either guide them through the training or take them for a walk around the grounds. It was absolutely heartwarming. I, in turn, am now devoted to them. Rock on, OPIN.
