Review for North Star Foundation, Storrs, CT, USA
I learned about North Star Foundation from a former client. She spoke so highly of the organization that we decided to look into the resource for ourselves. From the start Patty has been friendly, and consistently available to answer our questions, even when we ask them more than once. We wanted an emotional and social support for our 9-year old son and after speaking with Patty it became clear that a North Star dog would be perfect for our family. She helped us to find a hypo-allergenic breed and even took into account that we live in a small apartment when finding the perfect kind of dog for us. Our dog Junior has recently come home and Patty has been invaluable as a resource and s support. She is going to work with a trainer in our area to ensure that we have the best experience training Junior for our needs. We have been in weekly contact with her and are comfortable that although we have received our dog, Patty is still there for us. We are looking forward to all the gifts that Junior will bring to our family and can't thank Patty and North Star Dog Foundation enough.
