"Even when the rescue is closed for intake, Jen visits urgent dogs in high-kill shelters and posts them nonstop trying to get them seen and saved. She puts her entire heart into this and so many lives have been saved because of their efforts."

"I have donated $$$ to TDW several times in the last few years, last time in Jan 2026. After donating a couple times I met Jen and her team, they are a bunch of compassionate, relentless, very determined humans 💪. During the last year I have had the opportunity to additionally support them with little things here and there like animal transport, food runs, foster walks or a stray doggie wellness check. It always surprised me their patience and thoroughness making sure I was able to do the job and I had all the info and necessary tools before I started. Finally and more importantly, TDW has always been available for me when I've had questions or needs when I encountered an endangered or abused animal. As a summary I'll say all my interactions with this team felt inspiring, no matter if donating, supporting or just asking for personal help."

"Jen is so proactive in the dog rescue world. She takes the time to visit the shelters and love on the lonely dogs on death row, then saves the ones she can. She’s such an advocate for these dogs and so many would have never made it out without her networking or pulling them."

"Volunteering with Tofu’s Dream World has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The rescue is so special, and the founder, Jen Dodaro manages to get it all done with her busy schedule. She continues to have a positive outlook on dog rescue, when so many have become disheartened and burnt out by the realities of animal rescue. It is tough, not for the faint of heart and would make anyone break, cry and feel intense anguish. Jen marches on, with the intent of trying to save as many as she can. She started the rescue in the name of her beloved Tofu, a German Shepherd she loved so dearly and eventually becoming the rescue’s namesake. She did it for him, in honor of him, and because of him, just one more dog can be saved. Tofu is her inspiration, as she has shown every dog she rescues as one of her own. Just like her Tofu."
