I have transported for this organization for years. Nobody works more diligently to ensure that as many lives can be saved are as FOHA.

Some of the most caring and dedicated people in the world!! Betsy Merchant is constantly at work , trying to save the animals!
Having worked with Friends of Henry Animals for several years now, I can honestly say this is organization is 100% dedicated to saving every possible life. Every single cent raised is returned to the effort of saving lives. Betsy has built a team to be proud of and the resources available because of her work are nothing short of remarkable. I will continue to support the efforts of FoHA and know that we can all play a role in the rescue mission.
i donate regularly to friends of henry animals for many reasons. the dedication of their people to promoting adoption and rescue in a busy county shelter. the outreach to the community with microchips, and pet food for senior citizents, the effort they put into connecting with rescues to take urgent animals. it is a wonderful organization whose people show up every day to do a difficult job.
This nonprofit works tirelessly to place abandoned animals in good homes in Henry County. They also assist the community with spay/neuter and other services. We are very fortunate to have them here and the animals are the winners!!
FOHA is the most compassionate and caring organization I have ever had the privilege to support. They go above and beyond and fight for the lost and abandoned animals in our community.
Over the years their achievements have been outstanding. The miracles they've accomplished because of the efforts of friends, themselves, donations, and dedication are amazing!
They are making a difference! They are educating the public about pet ownership, animals are getting spayed/ neutered, and adopted into homes. I have two new family members (dogs) thanks to Friends of Henry Animals.
Friends of Henry Animals Inc. is a wonderful nonprofit. They work hard to share animals in need. We adopted our sweet Opal from the Henry County Animal Shelter. Friends of Henry Animals shared her photo and answered all my questions. This is a great organization!!
Friends of Henry Animals is a great non-profit whose employees and volunteers work tirelessly to find homes, fosters, help, and more for thousands of cats and dogs a year. I have been a supporter of them for years and seen all that they do in the realm of social media to help stray, abandoned and/or abused animals. So impressive!
Friends of Henry Animals is doing everything right in terms of getting information out to the public regarding the animals they serve and what they need from the community.

Helping the community take better care of their animals by offering spay and neuter assistance! Getting to the root of the problem!
We got our awesome dog, Pepper, partially due to Friends of Henry Animals, as she was a rescue dog from Kentucky and I believe spent some time with their pound. She passed away last year and is missed so much. Friends of Henry Animals does so much to help so many animals in need and I truly thank them for their work and donate when I can!
We adopted our white Boxer in March 2022 with the help of Friends of Henry Animals, Inc. The compassionate people there took in this sweet senior dog who had been dumped in a parking lot. We found this dog on their Facebook posts, and we knew he was meant to be a part of our family. Not everyone gives senior dogs a second chance, but this group promoted him on social media, and begged rescues and the public to step up. We have so much respect for this organization, and we are so thankful they didn’t give up on our awesome rescue Boxer. ❤️
I dont know how to describe how wonderful this group of volunteers are. Of course there are all the day to day awesome things they do to help the animals but they help people too. A year ago, I was sick with covid. Two family members also had it and both were hospitalized. I reached out to Betsy with Henry county humane society to express my fear of having to go to the hospital and not have anyone to take care of my dogs. Betsy jumped on it immediately. She had me put together a "go" bag for the dogs with all their food, meds and instructions. We arranged to leave a key outside my house that she could find and she made arrangements to personally come to my home and pick up my dogs and take them temporarily to the shelter until I was home again. I thank God all the prep wasn't needed as I was able to recover without being in the hospital. But to know the hearts of the people who run and support this organization is overwhelming and so heartfelt. They care about every animal and every person and they do so through hours of hard work, dedication and always putting the animals first.
Tireless advocates for shelter animals. They are the boots on the ground, doing the hard stuff. This group makes a real difference. Betsy is the absolute best.
They are one of the few animal related non profits that really cares for and saves animals. They put forth so much effort to save animals from sickness and death. Love these people!
They support animal welfare by giving shelter animals a better chance of adoption or rescue through spay / neuter.
Friends of Henry Animals is making such a difference in our community. Animals are getting spayed and neutered and finding amazing homes. They are also assisting with trap, neuter, release of the cats animals in the county. Amazing group who i will continue to support
5=Far Exceeds. This organization does everything it can possibly do to find rescue or forever homes for the dogs and cats of Henry County. The number of homeless animals far exceeds the space the shelter has to put them in. Friends of Henry Animals uses all resources possible to get rescue groups to take these innocent animals and find homes for them. They could use help: financial in the way of donations, foster homes, transporters and more.
This is a wonderful and amazing non profit dedicated to taking a very proactive approach for the rescues in the Henry County shelter. They have a staunch group of consistent supporters that take an active role in providing whatever is needed for the dogs in their care. This includes medical attention, spaying/neutering, transport, special food needs, or any unusual circumstance that presents itself. I am a NJ rescue, but have rescued many dogs in need from Henry County shelter and found them wonderful homes in NJ. They are to be commended for their dedication to the dogs in their care.
Friends of Henry Animals is a wonderful nonprofit. They work day and night to ensure every animal has all the basics of care but also the love that they need.
They are nothing short of amazing. They do a wonderful job for our community. And have helped re-home and save so many animals in this area and saved so many lives from the shelter. They are always willing to help anyone in need. I can not recommend them enough.
It is an absolute pleasure to help the dogs and cats at my local shelter. I am beyond grateful for the supportive team I have behind me. We give the gift of life!
Such an unbelievable organization. Do they sleep? Nope. Constantly advocating for the animals, constantly networking, they are super impressive. Betsy is a class act.
Community outreach, education and utilizing resources in the absolute most beneficial way to advocate for animal welfare and rehoming lost souls are all things I have witnessed as a volunteer with this group. They do incredible work for the community!
They do everything they can for the animals in their care including working hard to make sure they can be adopted out and/or rescued. This is why I donate to them.
They take care of the animals and provide all the help needed to have adopted. You can tell the volunteers go above and beyond to have this angles ready and make them feel loved.
In all of my experience with rescue organizations, I can’t praise Friends of Henry Animals, Inc. enough. Their interest in individual animals and in the larger rescue effort is equally great, and they give their animals great exposure on social media, which is an increasingly important venue for rescue/adoption. I look forward to many more years of working with these dedicated men and women.
