My Nonprofit Reviews

We adopted our sweet Cooper James, aka Super Duper Cooper from Lend a Helping Paw Shih Tzu Rescue 3 years ago and and fell in love immediately with how strongly invested this rescue is in making sure that the dogs in their care are well fitted to the adoptive family. The top notch healthcare dogs in this rescue receive is why I say it is rescue done right. All dogs are fully vetted, no matter the cost. Even after our adoption, I continue to love how invested LAHPSTR is with Cooper, still checking in on him, remembering his birthday, commenting on his pictures-it reminds me of how well loved he still is because for this rescue-it is all about the fur babies.

We decided this past August, to adopt Aidan, after falling in love with him through his pictures/videos posted daily, as well as dialogue of his shenanigans that we knew would make him a good fit with our dynamic duo. Malini and all of the volunteers at LAHPSTR, including the Delta volunteer, made flying him to our state seamless. I loved that someone traveled with him the whole way so he was loved and cared for during the flight. He even had his favorite toy, harness, leash, and favorite treats packed to accompany him. And like with Cooper, Aidan is still checked in on and loved from afar. He is the sweetest boy and gives the best hugs. I now have three precious fur babies known as the "ABC Trio" and my heart melts daily that I get to love on and spoil them to the point of affectionately calling them royally rotten. I have Lend a Helping Paw Shih Tzu Rescue to thank for my beautiful family. This rescue loves and cares for the all the small breed dogs that come its way-no matter their health condition, behavior issues, or age. And each one, gets the chance to live his/her best life as he/she so deserves. My husband and I will always support this rescue in any way that we can because we have seen over the past 3 years just how awesome they are. I have never seen rescue done this way and it is a beautiful sacrifice of love. If you are looking to add to your family, please consider adopting from LAHPSTR.

We adopted Cooper from this rescue going on 3 years ago. We could not have asked for a better experience. All of the dogs are fully vetted, loved like one of their own, given top quality food, and most importantly not given up on. The adoption process is very thorough-ensuring that it’s a good fit for each dog. What we love most is that even after adoption, this rescue continues to follow up on their dogs, and answer any questions the family has to best meet the needs of their new family member. Malini is beyond knowledgeable about so many topics and is always willing to share her expertise. We are honored to support Lend a Helping Paw as it is rescue done right.

We adopted sweet Cooper this past August, 2020 from this amazing rescue organization. We can't speak highly enough of Malini and her village of supporters who make it possible for dogs, like Cooper, who have been abandoned, neglected, and mistreated to be given the second chance in life they deserve. All dogs are thoroughly vetted, groomed, fed healthy diets, loved, socialized, spoiled, and receive total committment to helping them find their furever family. We appreciated how thorough the process of adoption was-all our questions were answered and we loved having the opportunity to follow the dogs' journey along the way. Now that we have Cooper, we are doubly blessed, and have a whole community of support if we have questions or need advice. We will continue to support LAHPSTR in any way that we can because we truly believe in their mission and work! Everything they do is truly for the fur babies!
