Review for To Love a Canine Rescue, Kimberton, PA, USA
I started looking for a rescue organization to be a part of last year. When I stumbled upon TLC's group it was an amazing experience from day one. We began fostering from the start and have loved the amount of support the staff gives for everyone, us and the dogs. Not only do they supply everything needed such as food, crates, toys, medication, but they also helped us with training techniques for the fosters which helped us with our existing dog as well! They host so many events to help promote the pups we have, I don't think we kept a foster over 2 - 3 weeks ( some were gone in a day ). We ended up falling in love with one of our fosters and added him to our home permanently. He is an amazing pup and loves being a big brother to our current fosters, showing them the way and helping bring the fun and playful side out of them. The team sets up informational training's and demonstrations to help educate our team of volunteers. My fiancee and I work with kids in the Valley Forge Area and they worked with us to set up a night to teach them how to properly meet a dog, what to do if a loose dog comes up to you, basic dog language and more. We had many parents come up to us in the weeks to follow about how much themselves and their children had learned that night and how they were planning on volunteering / fostering / adopting from TLC! Recently, we had an amazing opportunity to foster a momma dog who was about to give birth. I grew up on a farm and helped many animals give birth, but dogs were a new experience for me. TLC gave us EVERYTHING we need to help bring our litter of 10 into this world. They are a month old now and watching them grow has been an amazing. I can't wait to watch them, and momma, go into their furever homes. The rate of survival for pups born in shelters is terribly low and we are so grateful they were able to bring in this loving momma as well as 3 other moms to give birth into the safety our program. To Love a Canine Rescue, Inc is a fantastic, supportive group of people. The team that runs everything is amazing and helps keep a great volunteer / foster team active and included in everything being done at the center and in the community. I could not recommend a better group to work with and will be part of this team for many years to come.
