My Nonprofit Reviews

I've had interactions with several animal rescues but none have been as professional and as caring as The Animal Pad. I applied to foster in 2018 after seeing TAP post an urgent call for fosters on social media, and it was such an awesome experience I've stuck around ever since. 20 fosters so far and no plans of stopping!

TAP's all volunteer team is top-notch and wants the absolute best for the dogs they rescue, many of whom come from the streets and shelters of Mexico underweight, mangy, and sick (and sometimes pregnant!). The vetting they provide for each dog goes above and beyond what other rescues do, sparing no expense to get each dog healthy. The organization has grown a lot since I got involved, especially in 2020, and every team from foster to adoptions to vetting is extremely organized. Each dog has an assigned coordinator from the foster team, vetting team, and adoptions team, who check in on the foster to make sure the dog is getting what they need to prepare them and ultimately place them in their forever home. And fosters receive a lot of support, both from their foster coordinator and other volunteers, and via the strong social media community TAP has built.

The organization is very events oriented and there are lots of fun socials for both dogs and people, all to support the noble goal of getting homeless dogs the happily ever after they deserve. I've made so many amazing friends by being involved. And the dogs they rescue are truly so special, it's a privilege to love each one on their way to their forever home. I would seriously recommend TAP to anyone looking to adopt, foster, or get involved helping dogs!
