My Nonprofit Reviews

I have worked with Lisa for more than 4 years now. I have adopted two dogs through her. She has kept exceptional records as to treating these dogs for Lyme disease and their co-infections for more than 15 years! Because of this, she is able to offer great advice in how these dogs get treated and giving them the longest life expectancy that they can have. She even helped me with a rescue dog that didn't come through her rescue! I am forever indebted to her for her wonderful advice and guidance. I would definitely adopt through her again as I feel she has the best intentions for every dog. I donate to her rescue on a regular basis because I see exactly where she is spending the money. I am involved with many charitable organizations and I actively look at their financials before making the decision to support them. I highly recommend Illinois Birddog Rescue.

I have adopted two pointers from this rescue. The head of the rescue (lisa) has been extremely supportive of me and my dogs, including a rescue dog that was not gotten through this rescue. Lyme infected dogs are a huge problem in this country and becoming bigger. It is such a big problem for many reasons but for me one of the top reasons is animal behavior. One of my pointer's personalities completely changes when she is taking a break from the long term antibiotics needed to treat chronic Lyme - and not in a good way. She becomes aggressive and very noise sensitive. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! Lisa has guided me through treatment of all my rescue dogs. Her passion to help animals with Lyme stems from have chronic Lyme disease herself. As we have seen in the media, chronic Lyme is more and more prevalent - so awareness is finally coming! Lisa is ahead of her time in this area. I'm very grateful.
