My Nonprofit Reviews

I started volunteering with Indigo in January of 2011 during my Junior year of high school and started fostering for them in August of the same year. I cannot tell you how much working with these people and animals has impacted my life. Both the dogs I have fostered with Indigo are/were fearful dogs. Neither one gets aggressive when fearful - Indigo does have those too - but they could not be cared for in a shelter environment. That's how Indigo gets all their dogs, they could not be cared for in a shelter for whatever reason. All of these dogs live in foster homes, which means they have families, they interact with humans every day and they live like a dog should. The foster home isn't always the best place for them, but that isn't what the fostering is for. It's to give them as normal a life until we can find them a home that will last them forever. And there is nothing better than seeing these dogs grow, helping them and growing with them, and finding them a home. It isn't easy, but it is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. The only thing I love better is seeing the community that this builds. We have volunteers and fosters still in middle/high school all the way up to retired and everywhere in between. And every single person is determined and devoted to find these dogs homes that will last forever, no matter how long it takes or what problems the dog may or may not have. And we will never, never give up.
