Review for SPCA International, New York, NY, USA
SPCA International is a great organization helping animals all over the world. My experience with them, as that of a spokesperson for a homeless dog sanctuary in Russia, was remarkable. They were helpful, diligent in figuring out the specifics of the Russian rescue scene, and ended up offering an invaluable assistance to the sanctuary. Many people and formerly homeless dogs are very grateful. Thank you!

Review for Best Dawg Rescue Inc., Bethesda, MD, USA
DAWG has many devoted volunteers. However, in my experience, they can be unfair and discriminatory in their adoption criteria. They deny many good applications for dogs for purely subjective reasons, such as limited English proficiency, smoking, or no fence. As a result, many of their dogs languish in boarding, while other needy dogs cannot be rescued.
