My Nonprofit Reviews

I first learned of Poodle Rescue of Vermont when I was looking to adopt a standard poodle when mine passed away. At the time PRVT was not seeing many standards come into rescue. So as I waited I said I would help in ways that I could. First it was picking up dogs and providing transportation to their foster homes. Time went by and still no standard. The president o PRVT, Terri contacted me and suggested that I get approved for fostering in the event a dog came in. I filled out the application, had my home site visit which included3d a thorough inspection of my house and yard to ensure a dog would have a safe environment. I passed and I waited. Then the call came from Terri that a poddle had just come into a shelter in the south and need to me moved asap north. He was not the size I was expecting but I told Terri we would hold him until they could find a suitable long term foster. I picked little Bernie The Brown from a very small airport in rural vermont on one of the coldest days of 2014. He was tiny (compared to my golden doodle) that I had at home. Well, Bernie moved in, Bailey (the doodle), fell in love and so did the rest of my family! We decided that Bernie should just live with us. He may not be the standard we were looking for but this little guy has the heart and spirit of a much larger poodle.
All along the way when we were "just fostering", I received frequent phone calls from the PRVT foster coordinator who was always there will answers to any questions I might have. I always felt through this whole process that they have ony the very best interest for each and every dog that comes through their rescue. It is always really about finding the proper, perfect, and forever home for these animals that have had misfortune thrown at them.
I continue to volunteer with PRVT, helping to move dogs, and doing some sewing for the new rescues needs. It is very rewarding and I am proud to help in my small way to see and know the very big difference this organization is making in the animals lives and the famlies they are creating.
