Review for North Star Foundation, Storrs, CT, USA
I volunteered with North Star through college and I had an amazing experience. Patty taught me a lot about autism and assistant dogs, and every week was a new lesson. I loved taking Angel back to the UConn campus and letting everyone see her. She was a wonderful dog. I walked dogs as a side job as well, but I looked more forward to walking Angel for free than I did walking a dog for money. Every Wednesday I would be so happy to finally go see Angel and the other pups, it literally made my week. This foundation is awesome in its objectives and in what it has accomplished. Patty is a great person who really cares and is passionate about North Star. I hope to keep ties with her for a long time to come. I know I have helped North Star by volunteering, but North Star has also helped me just the same.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the progress that Angel has made being around so many different people. The changes from week one to the last week were visible, and it was awesome to know you had a part in that. She will help gain awareness for North Star, and that is huge.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
keep on keeping on. So much progress has been made and I can see it starting to really bloom and open up to everyone. Every person is touched by autism or dogs, or both, in some way, shape or form. As long as North Star continues to move forward, I think great things are to come.
