The very best pet I ever had came from these motivated, caring people. She was a tiny surrendered dog, and the staff knew she would not do well in a kennel with big dogs, so THEY called ME because they knew I would provide a perfect, quiet home for a dog like her. FCHS is not just a shelter. It is a matchmaker! Who could ask for more?
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
They have placed over 20,000 animals -- two with me. They have very high success rate. I see how hard they work, and how few resources they have to work with. They put every dollar donated to its best use on behalf of the animals. They are the only "open admission" shelter in the area.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
attract enough donors to this 20+ year old program to allow them to be open to the public a maximum number of hours and find volunteers to take even more adoptable animals to the PetsMart stores where they are easily adopted.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I volunteered, beginning an email newsletter and grew the list to over 4,000 people.
