Review for North Star Foundation, Storrs, CT, USA
I love dogs and I totally support animal rescues. There are so many dogs that are waiting for their forever home. However as a puppy raiser for the North Star Foundation there is something different about these puppies. Their temperament and patience and attentiveness is because of the very careful and specific breeding program. I've had puppies to socialize that are from other breeders. They were sweet and well behaved and would make great pets but that wasn't enough to work with a child with special needs. They obviously didn't make the cut to work with a child on the autistic spectrum. Fine breeding, critical socialization and intense training is what makes North Star Foundation dogs so special. The pups must remain relaxed and attentive in a distracting world and in stressful situations so they can keep their child safe. These dogs are so much more than just pets. They become a sort of lifeline between their child and the world around them. Please don't assume that just any dog has this ability.
