My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a foster for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue (BFDR) for over 1 1/2 years. I am a Southern Foster in TN. I cannot speak for the Northern Fosters, but my experience was and is awesome! When beginning fostering, you have to identify what you are willing to foster (IE: short term/long term; cat friendly dogs; dog friendly dogs; seriously ill dogs; etc.)

BFDR DOES pay for Vet visits and meds as long as you get PREapproval (Unless it is an emergency and you call your coordinator as you are rushing there or while you are there.) They do this because money is tight for rescues (I know, your shocked) and they have resources for getting things cheaper when they can.

Yes, there are times when the founder and/or coordinator is so overwhelmed with hoarding cases, evaluations, Vet references, dog transports, etc. that 'stalking' may be necessary (which they freely admit may be required).

If you are thinking of fostering in TN, I challenge you to find a better rescue than Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. If you think that I am a fake reference or being paid for this reference; email me! wcrunyan@bellsouth.net BFDR took on 3 stray dogs that my family found dumped in our area when none of the local rescues would...and I contacted ALL of them locally before I went searching the web far-and-wide for help.
