Review for Paws and Think Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA
When we moved to Indianapolis a year or so ago, I started looking right away for places/causes with which to volunteer. I happily found Paws and Think, and am so pleased to be serving in an organization that is true to its vision, purpose, and goals. I have a Golden Retriever who has brought great joy into my life, and now I get to share him with others in meaningful ways. We go to elementary schools as part of the READ program where Sailor listens as children read aloud to him, we visit the VA Hospital weekly where Sailor comforts patients, staff, and visitors to the hematology unit, and we also visit area nursing homes and even colleges to help students de-stress during finals. As an organization, I was impressed right off the bat with the follow through from the staff -- I was contacted very soon after I applied to become a volunteer and was encouraged to get involved right away. I have developed a great respect for the other volunteers who spend a tremendous amount of effort and time in making the organization successful and run smoothly. The canine - human bond is an extraordinary relationship, and it's delightful to be a part of an organization that seeks to serve the Indianapolis area in creative ways through the utilization of well trained and well loved dogs. It's a win for the dogs and a win for the humans.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I still consider myself rather new to the organization, but it's my perspective that Paws and Think is in a place of potentially rapid growth. I think with this kind of opportunity, it will be very important to both attract new and keep seasoned staff and volunteers who can nurture the best and widest possible vision for expansion. There is a certain professionalism that I've come to expect from Paws and Think, and I would like this to continue to be prioritized.
