SAVE — A Friend to Homeless AnimalsPET Program Testimonials
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wary about getting a new dog from SAVE ... Getting a dog and knowing little about his background made me uneasy, but unless we gave it a try we'd never know for sure. So we brought 11 month old 'Cherokee' home to our house of three boys and two cats. That was almost three months ago. And while we've had a couple bumps in the road as well as several twists and turns, it is absolutely amazing how he has become such a big part of our lives. A little training goes a long way with a rescue dog. The rewards have been endless."
"Smart, loving and extremely loyal are some words to describe Cherokee, as well as funny and charismatic. He has a different relationship with everyone in the family, including the cats. He has brought back the joy we'd been missing from having a dog and the pleasure of unconditional love. Yes, Cherokee is filling the old dog's shoes, and he has a pair of his own as well. We would not trade him the world!"

"The PET Humane Education Program should be duplicated a hundred times, as the impact it has had on the children at our center has been a true benefit."

"Our children and teachers look forward to your visits ... the children speak and write about their new animal friends and their experiences with them…It is truly touching to see and hear the wonderful empathic responses your lessons evoke ... Thank you for bringing this character-enriching experience to our children!"
