WOW! I finally hit 500!…read more I wanted to make this review special--something that's close to my heart (just like my other 100 markers!). For those of you who know me, know that I love my pooch Ryno. He's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and yes, is treated like royalty. I have yet to meet a Cavalier that hasn't been sweet, awesome, and overall just a great catch! I have not adopted from this rescue, but know people who have, I've also met a few people affiliated with the rescue at various meet ups and dog shows throughout IL and even WI. :-) You couldn't ask for a bunch of better people! Here's a little about their mission (taken from their website): GCCR's mission is to help ensure the health and security of abused, abandoned, and otherwise endangered Cavalier King Charles Spaniels by rehabilitating and placing Cavaliers from shelters and similar situations, by assisting breeders and owners in finding new homes for their Cavaliers, and by providing to the public educational materials and consultation regarding Cavalier health and care. The growing popularity of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels has prompted increased breeding by unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills. This development suggests that owners' concerns about health as well as the number of Cavaliers in need will only grow. Placement of Cavaliers in new homes without appropriate, knowledgeable veterinary testing may result in unforeseen, serious heartaches for new owners. The GCCR as well as other dedicated Cavalier rescuers and owners are here to help.

It seems like the two other reviews say it all!! I volunteer with the GCCR and can't believe how…read moresupportive, nurturing, and selfless this group of people truly are. We have members who have owned cavaliers for over 20 years and novice owners. All of which are dedicated to educating the public, raising awareness, and rescuing these lovely dogs. Please join our group on facebook or check out the rescue website: www.gccavalierrescue.org

It's run by extremely cold and unprofessional Women! They just care about your money not saving your animal. My little girl a 9 year old Yorkie nee a life saving surgery. Unfortunately the price was a small fortune for me. And so the options offered was put her down or have the surgery. So please.please stay far away from from this terrible hospital place. They only care about your money not the welfare of you and your dog.

This is a fantastic organization and they make it fun to come and help them pack meals for children…read morethat are literally starving to death. I know that's not something here in America we can truly grasp, but its true. Children must be 5+ yrs old, I believe, to participate. Adults can go with a group, or alone, it doesn't matter. Single volunteers can just show up without a reservation. Just check-in when you arrive. Double check packing session start times on their website first. You're doing a great thing by volunteering to help here - financially and/or physically. I've been to the Schaumburg, IL location as well, and imo the Aurora facility is the BEST! So, please go! It'll make your heart happy to bless someone else.

Being part of such a great team doing what I love and being able to see that they are making a difference in urban youth truly was amazing. I loved every minute here and learned a lot of Photoshop tricks, thank you Jordan. This internship allowed me to utilize my love for drawing and create part of a mural which was an amazing experience. By the way this was my first actual painting...it was a challenge but it was so much fun being able to try something new. I miss my team and want them to know that I had a lot of fun regardless of my commute there. P.S. That pink bag is a lunch bag...not a purse-just a reminder :)

I didn't hear anything, so I texted back and she said we have many opportunities available in Daytona Beach. and then said I can get you started right away for $99. This was a huge red flag. I waited another day to see if I'd get a response from my application and nothing happened. So I texted again and said I didn't have money to pay, was on a fixed income and how did I know this wasn't a scam and was beginning to think so. After several hours, she texts back and said to call someone else to fulfill my community service, because I wasn't a good fit for them. so apparently if you can't send them money, you aren't a good fit. Sounds like a huge scam to me! Don't fall for it!
