My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for New Horizons Service Dogs, Inc., Orange City, FL, USA
My journey with NHSDI started as a teenager wanting to train a dog to help others, including my mom. I have been a volunteer and participant with this organization for almost 15 years now and I am always amazed with the way these dogs change lives. I have been in classrooms with dogs, volunteered at NHSDI headquarters, been in the two week training courses, taught and worked 1on1 with others receiving dogs, assisted with fundraising, helped in the office, raised and trained dogs for others, and given presentations on the organization. This organization is run almost solely off of volunteers and does so much on such a limited budget, it is amazing!
After some time, I developed my own disability and needed a dog of my own. I am currently on my second dog through this wonderful organization and my own life has been transformed for the better. I have seen firsthand the effects of this organization and the many lives they have impacted. These dogs provide independence, love, and support for so many! I have been forever changed by this organization and I hope they continue to grow and flourish to enrich so many more lives.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
get more funding and recognition for this organization. They have such a small budget and do such AMAZING things, but they do not get enough recognition for the wonderful things they do. If this organization was pushed further into the spotlight, they could receive more funds to continue to support those with disabilities by providing incredibly trained service dogs.
