Review for Animal Friends Rescue Project, Pacific Grove, CA, USA
We were originally asked to work with their cats and that was okay.
Then we were asked to work with dogs and it got worse. We were given no follow up support, left to fend for ourselves and messages were largely ignored. Our landlord was gracious enough to let us foster and we had no complaints, until the day A senior staff came to retrieve a dog we were unable to foster any longer. She had illegally parked and when he asked her to move her vehicle, she became argumentative with him and tried to bully him. Her attitude enraged him, so that he had her perm entry barred from the property.
When a rescue gives you a animal to care for, you hope to get the necessary tools to help. Requiring your volunteers to provide EVERYTHING and refusing to honor agreements, made it impossible to work with AFRP. The staff member whom caused us consistent problems is still running a large part of their program and the reason we no longer work with AFRP.

Review for Peace Of Mind Dog Rescue, Pacific Grove, CA, USA
POMDR is my latest venture in volunteering for a NPO & has been by far the best experience I've had. My husband and I enjoy helping foster animals, but have found most NPO's completely fail in supporting their volunteers. POMDR gave us the perfect parring, offering us exactly what we needed to help.
We enjoy fostering, and were very happy to have supplies provided, as needed for the dogs in our care. Calls/emails are answered promptly, and the other staff are always pleasant to deal with. I feel like part of a special team, who's input and assistance is valued and appreciated. I am allowed to do what I do best and have never been forced to take on more than I can handle or left feeling completely alone.
The entire team has made our choice to work with Peace of Mind, one we wake up and look forward to each day! Whether we need something as simple as blankets or toys or something as complicated as transportation or emergency vet care, POMDR makes sure we are covered! I would highly recommend volunteering for this amazing rescue. Not only are the dogs worth it, but you will really feel like you're part of a team and family.
