My Nonprofit Reviews

I fostered with DC Paws and was really grateful for their support and impressed by the thought and attention they give to each to all the animals and people that come through their rescue. I was matched with dogs to foster on two separate occasions--both times DC PAWS worked with me at the beginning to make sure the dogs were the right fit for my space, lifestyle, and experience level. I received as much information as they had about the dogs before I picked them up and whenever I encountered any problems with the pups (ear infections and such), the rescue was prompt (within minutes) to respond to my outreach and advise how to best to get them feeling better. I never felt over my head or alone in the process of fostering and was so appreciative for their guidance. My dogs only stayed with me 2 weeks, and were all adopted smoothly to great owners. Still today, they even pass along updates every now and again from the owners of my fosters. Now that I've adopted my own dog, I am not currently fostering with DC Paws, though will consider volunteering more in the future. This org is great, even though their network is wide, they still foster a tight-nit community of people passionate about pets and empower them to help find dogs and cats in desperate need of shelter, love, and care, a forever home.
