My Nonprofit Reviews

Through my working career I lived in Alaska and raised Retrievers and Brittany's from puppies. I participated in AKC shows and participated in and judged various AKC field events. Once retired I moved to MO where I met a great lady with an aging Boykin Spaniel at the vets office. My two Brittany's were 11 and 14 at the time and when she informed me she was with BSR and would be looking for a home for the 11 yo Boykin she had, I figured he would fit right in to my crew. I went through a very thorough process and eventually ended up with my first Boykin "Chief". Within a year BSR had me hooked and I volunteered for transports and anything else they needed. Shortly thereafter I decided this group was worth a little more of my time and I volunteered as a Regional Coordinator. I really enjoy that job since I get to talk with dozens of enthusiastic dog people. Since deciding that i was going to adopt/care for older dogs and sometimes dogs with other medical issues, I have been blessed to cared for 5 more Boykins. The process Boykin Spaniel Rescue goes through to insure the dogs go to good homes is as thorough as I have ever seen. Once adopted or under foster care, the dogs and the adaptors/fosters are provided with all that is needed to try and insure success (medically and/or training needs).
