Lebanon Nonprofits and Charities

For many years I have taken my pets to the Joy Clinic to be fixed. They were always well cared for and they staff were helpful. Several years ago i had the opportunity to join their board of directors and it has opened my eyes to how amazing this place really is! I have never seen a more compassionate group of people who truly care for the animals welfare. They go above and beyond to make sure animals in the community are fed and housed. I just adopted an adorable dog from the shelter! How could I resist. Over the years I have taken many feral cats to be fixed. This is a huge program and helps our community tremendously. I can’t say enough about New Leash on Life! <br> <br>I’m proud to have been asked to serve on the board and I’m even prouder of the amazing staff and their dedication to animal welfare.

Well I will strat by telling you who I am My name is Leldon D . I like to help others that's what I am all about. I usually buy things and give them to people who i think needs .them. I was in the help center store and I notice 2 or 3 water bottle that sell for 1.oo in Walmart and they had a price of 50. one and the other two had 1.00 each so ask aworker if icould speak to the director.<br>she sent me to see a short haired old lady and i ask what the price was and she told me they were $1.00 each and I told her that was too much and I had purchase them for $1.00 each at walmart then she told me to buy them at Walmart so I did and they were brand new. So much for trying to help this place. I will give all readers the same advice I got and continue to do. GO to Walmart its cheaper and not so many unhappy people.

I was sitting at the park across the street where the "All for Him" ministry team was setting up, my homeless peers were going over there and it seems like I should like to go to... I found warm, genuine servants of the most high GOD!!!! IN WHOM I fell in love with, I found No pharisees No self righteousness... Nothing that said if you dont do it our way you won't get served. I am so honored to be serving along side this ministry. Nothing says Jesus saves, heals and delivers like obedient followers. All the fruits of the Spirit is how we disciple.❤

The Walden Woods Project enjoys partnering with American Heritage Trees! Phyllis and Tom are a pleasure to work with and they make it possible for everyone to plant a little bit of Walden Woods in their backyard!

these are great people, have helped me so much with the food if it wasn't for them i don't know what me and my family would have done through this tough time especially when my fridge went out and we lost everything

This organization is dishonest and unprofessional. Do not work with them or donate to their organization. They do not care properly for their animals or the human beings that they deal with during the adoption process. They were going to release a puppy one day after spay surgery and then adopted out the same puppy four days after it was diagnosed with Parvo. I am not sure whether they made the adopters aware of the condition.<br>They initially corresponded with me about adopting this puppy on a Monday and Tuesday when I submitted paperwork to begin the adoption process. They talked about a possible home visit on Saturday. They told me they would have to wait and see if it was old enough to be spayed on Thursday if not we'd have to wait another week. A volunteer texted me Thursday morning and said that the puppy would be spayed, we set a meeting time for the following morning on Friday and they said that I may possibly be taking the puppy home with me that day. I went shopping for necessities at PetSmart spending hundreds of dollars. I also cancelled a trip I had planned for that weekend in hopes of adopting this puppy. They then cancelled the appt. for Friday morning stating that the dog was lethergic that evening and needed to recover over the weekend from the spay surgery. I understood. Then the following morning I was notified that the puppy had tested positive for Parvo and that it wasn't looking good and could be a week or more before the puppy could be adopted. I offered to assist in any way possible including covering the treatment costs. They did not take that offer but directed me to their website donation link. Later the same night, I received a video of the puppy stating that it was feeling much better. They planned on taking it to the vet and getting it cleared for adoption. I responded the following morning on Sat, saying I was happy that the puppy was feeling better and that I appreciated the update. There was no further communication from the rescue until I texted Tuesday morning to check on the puppy and see how she was doing. Later that afternoon they let me know that they had taken her to the vet on Monday and she was adopted out to another family that was willing to take the puppy sight unseen and even with it being sick. I believe I had said the same to them and they totally ripped the rug right out from under me without letting me know they had taken the puppy to the vet or that she was now cleared for adoption. They completely gave me the runaround and were totally dishonest and unprofessional.<br>This morning I contacted the Spay and Neuter Alliance that they use in Sumner County, TN and they stated that they would never think that a rescue would adopt out a puppy one day after spay surgery. I guess they were unaware that these adoption transactions are actually being organized and orchestrated in there back parking lot by Freetown Farm Sanctuary and the owner.<br>They tried to say that they contacted me on Saturday and I did not respond which is completely untrue. My text to the volunteer on Saturday morning was the last correspondence between me and anyone associated with their organization until I heard back from them on Tuesday afternoon.<br>I have spoken with other rescues and they have said there's no way they should have adopted out a puppy with Parvo only four days after it tested positive.<br>I had further correspondence with the volunteer on Tuesday afternoon and evening and she never apologized for the confusion and mistake and for not notifying me about the status of the puppy or that they had changed directions and made a decision to adopt the puppy out to another applicant. I was never made aware and there was never any indication that there was anyone else interested in adopting this puppy.<br>I urge you not to work with this organization. I am doing to my best to not allow them to disrespect another perspective adopter or mishandle the pet adoption process again.<br>

Your donations from whatever source they get funding from goes into their pockets and that's it....Nothing out to help anyone. SHAM CHARITY.
