My Nonprofit Reviews

One of the things I love is they never leave one of their rescues behind. A lot of the dogs brought back have very uniques temperaments and can be very difficult to train, so some end up looking for new homes after being rescued. This is how I found my Baxter in July 2017. He had been tied up in a burlap sack and left at an entry control point at a remote US location in Afghanistan. As mean as that may sound, I believe the individual who left him was trying to help him since the US is know to have a soft spot for these dogs and a lot of locals don't treat them very well. Baxter was found by the Army unit assigned there and they took him in, letting him sleep in their sleeping bags and showing him not all people are cruel. Knowing he would have been killed if they left him, they reached out to PRM for help. Baxter was vetted, adopted by one of the soldiers, and flown to the US. These dogs are intelligent and independent and require a lot of patience, time, training, and exercise, and Baxter found himself looking for a new home; that's when I found him. I completed a lengthy application, then moved on to a phone interview, then had a home visit before finally being approved. Baxter has now been a member of our family for almost 2 years and is one of the most loving dogs I have ever met. I still keep in touch with Baxter's first family and send them pics and updates, and they send me messages to wish him happy birthday and have even sent him a present; it's evident they still love him very much so I'm happy to keep them updated. And even with all the work that goes into helping these dogs, PRM has no paid staff, so all funds donated and raised go to helping these dogs. They do it for the love of these animals that have provided something for deployed servicemembers that no human being could.
