My Nonprofit Reviews

Being a current board member has given me a unique view of the daily/monthly/yearly operations of this wonderful organization. Even with the constant work of the incredible volunteers, they never settle for “status quo”, and strive to improve at every turn.

After having two Boykins, we decided to adopt a rescue. Chipper was our first, and the experience with BSR was flawless. Chipper came to us missing one eye, and very shy. The foster and the regional coordinator for BSR made the transition smooth. After several months of gentle work, and the foundation built by the foster, Chipper got back to being an incredible hunting retriever. After Chip passed, BSR reached out to us with the opportunity to foster/adopt another male that had showed early hunting tendencies. They want all the dogs they rescue to be able to realize their full potential, and felt “Oats” would be a good fit, whether we adopted, or just fostered. Now, 2 years later, Oats is a bird hunting machine, never meets a stranger, two or four legged, and we are, happily, “foster failures“.
These experiences made me want to do more, so we began to volunteer more for BSR, and I recently became a board member. The people that make up this organization continue to impress and inspire me.
