Review for Caring Hearts Rescue, Springfield, VA, USA
Both of my girls were adopted from Caring Hearts Rescue. My oldest daughter was adopted in 2009 at the time we got her, she had been through a very abusive situation with an electric collar that caused a patch of hair on her neck to be burned off and not grow back for over 4 years, not to mentioned that she was very malnourished at only 9 months old. Over the years, the volunteers at CHR worked with us on trauma recovery, behavior modification and nutrition.
When we were ready to get our second dog in 2012, we came back to CHR. We didn't get our second dog until 2014, but, CHR worked closely with us to make sure that we found he perfect dog for all of our family members including our older dog. It was worth the wait!
CHR is different than other rescues in that they really care about matching the right dog with the right family based on temperament, schedule, etc. because they really care about the dogs for the rest of their lives. Another difference is that they are always willing to help and advise on any problems that pop up after the adoption.
If I were ever to look into adding another family member, I would always come back to work with the people at CHR.
