Review for North Star Foundation, Storrs, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

North Star placed a dog with our son, who has high functioning Aspergers. From the first day this has made a dramatic difference in Dan's life. North Star did a wonderful job of matching an appropriate dog with our son, and of training and follow-up. We are very grateful to them, and would highly recommend them.

the organization serving our family. We highly recommend North Star, and it's founder/executive director Patty Gross.
