My Nonprofit Reviews

I have followed and donated to this charity for over 5 years. Almost a year ago I made the trip to Ipswich from Ohio (an 11 1/2 hour drive) to volunteer for a few days. It was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life and made me even more devoted to their mission. They are phenomenal with how they breed and train the animals. I'm an animal lover and I can say that I don't know if I've ever been around more than 40 dogs and had each one be more happy, loving and well behaved than the next. They are so diligent in their breeding practices and the dogs are cared for and trained in the most loving and responsible manner. Their kennels are cleaned so often and the place never smells like dogs and I can't say the same for my home.
I also had the pleasure of watching the owner, trainers, and volunteers interact with the public at one of their Sunday open house events. I personally listened as they spoke with some prospective recipients of the dogs. They could not have been more gracious and helpful. There were also several recipients their with their service dogs that had been donated to them FREE OF CHARGE and you could see the wonderful bonds that had developed as well as how much the recipients lives had improved with the help of their dedicated companion.
If you want to know that your donations are truly doing good in the world, there is not a more worthy charity. My admiration and appreciation for all at SDP has only grown over the 5 years. This organization reaffirms my belief that there are still are wonderful people in the world that are dedicated to helping others.
