Review for North Star Foundation, Storrs, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I first contacted the North Star Foundation a little over a year ago to inquire about getting my son, affected by autism, a therapy dog. We weren't just added to a list and sent a form letter. My family was handled with the upmost respect and patience. I found that North Star was a relationship-based foundation. They are committed to making sure that child, dog and family establish a bond before, during and after placement. We were given ample opportunity to visit with our puppy before placement. This personalized commitment assures that the special needs child and dog are tempermentally suited for each other and that the child will get the maximum benefit from his therapy dog. I couldn't be happier about our placement and look forward to working with North Star as we settle in with our puppy.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

working with North Star to assure that my son received a therapy dog that was suited to his special needs.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I would change a thing. I am so happy that I chose North Star to receive therapy dog for my son.
