“When I interviewed 3 months ago with BIlT( Christina) I really could feel she was a person that truly puts the person supported first. This is very important to me. She continues to be this person and it motivates me to be my best. I care for the individuals and want them to experience everything they can. I want to help them, in the way they want. Christina has giving me the opportunity to do this. She supports me and is always there to help me when something is challenging. In my experiences Bilt is by far the most person centered company I have worked for. The staff I have met and trained with are reflections of Christina. Each one of them was kind and helpful. My transition into the job was amazing. Anyone that has struggled to find the right supports for individuals with disabilities should reach out to Built. I would also tell anyone who wants to do something meaningful and truly put clients first, this is the place to work. BILT (Christina) is a company/person that has improved how we care for people.”

“We adopted our boy Cosmo (little white boy) as a companion for our older girl from BNR almost a year ago now, everything worked out amazingly in the end, he's become a beloved part of our family, and could never be removed.However, some important things to note about our experience:The 'cons' were:We were told he was a chihauhau mix with a 'chance of pit' everything at BNR said he was most likely chihuahua (ignoring the fact he was 6 lbs and underweight at 9 weeks lol). When I adopted him, his paperwork from Texas listed him as a Labrador mix, which was never mentioned, and was told he'd probably be max 35 lbs. (He's also technically not the puppy I applied for, same litter but different dog, not the end of the world, but something that stands out). I did a DNA test a couple months after adopting him, and he's definitely more Labrador than chihauhau, though only 50 lbs, so fortunately he stayed within our preferred sizeI was told all dogs were medicially checked over as they arrived in Massachusetts, he arrived the day before I was told I could pick him up. Upon picking him up, within our carride home, he was already exhibiting signs of respiratory distress, which within a week turned into severe pneumonia, however, the same pneumonia was also overlooked by our own vets, so I don't know how much I can fully fault the rescue for this. If anything this is a good reminder that if something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't and to get a second opinion (or a better vet)The pros of this shelter are:They are more than willing to work with you, as previously mentioned he was adopted to accompany his older sister. However, we are two hours from the rescue, and she has high stress around Strange humans, especially in strange environments. We ended up working out a way in which we could introduce the two safely at home, to save her unnecessary anxiety and a long car trip. They also do frequent check ins for the first few months, offer resources for ethical trainers, help target problems in early training, ect. Everyone you work with is extremely kind, and you can tell they care deeply for every dog.If you live closer to the rescue than we do, they also offer vouchers for free training courses and some veterinary care. To my knowledge some of the veterinary care is considered common practice in rescues, but I'm relatively certain most shelters don't offer free positive reinforcement training.They are extremely thorough, while it's a very nerve wracking process, the adoption process includes a guided tour around the house your new bud will live in, either in person or sent via videos, like in our case. This includes their main sleeping space, your yard, aby part of your house they'll have access to ect. They also make sure to talk with all household members regarding their interest in the new family member, this is also when they mentioned he may have pitbull in him (which may have been a good opportunity to say the Texas rescue they work with had him listed as a Labrador?)Overall, we love Cosmo, are so glad he's in our lives but his adoption definitely came with unnecessary surprises that absolutely should've been disclosed, especially with how thorough the adoption process was. However, BNR brought us a perfect fit for our family, no matter how he got here, and we are extremely grateful to them.The TLDR:-Was Misled about what kind of dog he was, despite having two conflicting answers on his paper work from Mass vs Texas-He had early signs of respiratory illness from pickup that turned to pneumonia within a week or two-They will work with your situation, as long as they believe you can provide a good home-A positive reinforcement shelter, offers training and training support-Extremely thorough adoption process and kind individuals”

“Always a very friendly greeting when we enter the store! It's well kept and as organized as possible. The staff is amazing - polite, helpful, answers questions and tries to be as accommodating as possible and will work with you, especially if they notice you are looking at a particular item. We almost always walk out with something, from tools to flooring to chairs... This is our "go to" place because of the great finds and great people! You gotta check this place out!”

“This farm house was formerly located elsewhere. It once belonged to an African American family in the 1800's. At that time slavery had been abolished for quite some time in Massachusetts, so they would have been considered "free blacks" until 1865 when all slaves were formally emancipated in the USA. I didn't get to see the inside of this house but walked around the outside. I estimate that this house is roughly 16' x 32'. It looks like there is a tiny second floor area. From the front it looks probably much like it did when it was first built. The back has a wheelchair ramp, a piece of metal contemporary art and an air conditioning unit in one window. There is a large bell, some seating, and an informative sign out front. It is not owned by the National Parks but is right next to the parking lot for the North Bridge. It would be easy to visit the bridge and the Old Manse (owned by the trustees) at the same time. While this house is not grand, like the Old Manse, it is important to acknowledge how all Americans have lived, whether their ancestors were born on American soil, chose to start a new life here, or were forced to.”
