My Nonprofit Reviews

I have known and supported RMG since 12/2017 when we lost our first dog to cancer. My family was grieving and my older child was especially distraught. On 12/28 I learned about them through my local pet store owner and on 12/30 we met with them. They actually brought Jasmine over to our house.

After speaking with and learning about my family, making sure we had a secure backyard, and giving Jasmine and us space and time to interact in our backyard - we started a trial to foster her that day. This was an incredibly delicate time for us as I was still grieving not sure if I was ready whilst my older one was grieving and could not bear being without her dog. As a compromise, we chose to foster and not adopt. I then learned in 3 weeks that we were what are called "foster failures" and we adopted Jasmine.

After adopting Jasmine, we continued to foster and I am proud to say we were able to serve 7 other (mostly young, 6-9 month old) dogs until they found their forever homes. I am proud to say that Jasmine and I taught 3 of them how to walk on a leash, we were able to nurture a couple while they recovered from surgeries, and give all of them a temporary loving home.

Recently, #10 came into our lives - Rudy. Around this time Jasmine had started to become aloof with the fosters on account I think of the having to see the fosters come and go. So as of 4/20/20 we adopted him as well and have stopped fostering. Rudy has been an inspiration to me and you can read more about that at https://rudykakkad.tumblr.com/post/616872161131610112/i-want-to-be-like-rudy.
