My Nonprofit Reviews

When I was looking for a potential dog for adoption that I could train as a service dog, this organization was right there explaining which rescue had a temper close enough to what I was looking for. I have been a fan of them ever since. Seeing them rescue the shepherds, giving them such an opportunity to rehabilitate and know how to be loved, while also seeing the pain and suffering she endures if something goes wrong, leaves you with no option but to support, love and endorse them. These rescued shepherds are not a number, Nila treats each and every one in the unique way they deserve, giving her all to better the dogs quality of life and matching them with the right family to succeed.

I have known this non profit for years, from when I was looking to adopt a GSD to be my service dog and can only say great things about K9 German Shepherd Rescue. Seeing these dogs finally have a chance at true love is amazing and while it angers me to see what these poor animals endure prior to arriving to shep camp, it also gives me hope to see people come together and do good as well.
Definitely a non-profit worth all of the support available!

I only have GREAT things to say about VOA. Thanks to them I was able to get back in the water, dive, sail and be free

This organization has taken me diving and made my dream come true over and over again since start. Without my scuba, I would go crazy dealing with people and life in general. You guys rock !!

As a participant and volunteer for VOA I can wholeheartedly say this Organization is a One Of A Kind. Its Founder/President, Branson Rector is someone who dedicates so much time to helping participants that I wonder if he ever sleeps. VOA makes it a point to ensure EVERYONE benefits from every single program offered, myself included.

I am very thankful to have found them and hope to continue diving for years to come!

Instructor O'Brien taught me to dive. His patience and extreme understanding for my abilities and disabilities gave me back the one place in which I'm truly free: the ocean. He then took it a step further and showed me how beautiful AND colorful the underwater world is at night. In each dive during the past 3 years he's slowly taught me how "control" is not something only found through physical strength, but also through my ability to trust and face challenges to the best of my capabilities. As a c4-c5 quad, that is not an easy lesson.
As if that was not enough, he made me an Advanced Diver, a learning experience that I'll never forget. .. How could I when I dove a wreck down at 110 ft deep... Another wreck at night seeing it come to life in a way that words cannot describe... Learning more about our environment and the wonders of marine life, among other things.
All I can say as I wrap up my babbling is that Instructor O'Brien (AND the dive buddies I've had the honor to dive with) are not only amazingly trained, but also made it a point to understand me as a person rather than a disability. Thanks to them I feel confident and free when I dive, forgetting how over 80% of my body does not work... I'm at 100% happiness as we submerge.
Scooba Dooba!!!
