My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteered as a Puppy Parent with Beyond A Buddy from April 2020 to January 2021, through the hardest points during the COVID pandemic. They gave me a six week old yellow Labrador puppy to take care of and train. For the first three weeks it was rough going but their training and CEO were always available to help with questions or concerns. They were very accommodating in May 2020 when I had to fly home for a family emergency and set me up with another volunteer to care for the puppy while I was out of town. The weekend training sessions were informative and the homework was easy to understand. While it was sad to return this dog that I had spent so much time with, I was glad for the opportunity. Though Liam, did not make the cut for graduation due to his hyperactivity, I was happy to see that he was adopted by a loving family and is living his best life now. It was a fun experience and if I hadn't moved back to NYC, I would totally do it again.
