My Nonprofit Reviews

I've been volunteering for WAG off and on since, well, before there was a WAG. I've volunteered for a lot of spay/neuter clinics, having been Local Host for the Oregon Neutermobile. The clients see WAG's reasonable fees and, I hope, understand how important it is to have their pet spayed or neutered because of the health benefits to the pet and the reduced population of unwanted pets. What they can't appreciate as much as I do is what loving care every animal gets at WAG. Animals that are young or any kind of elevated risk get one-on-one care both before and after surgery. I often get drafted to hold a kitten for a while when we're busy.

The clients also don't get to see how much needs to be done to get a clinic like this up and running and keep it running. It's done mostly by volunteers with a mission, plus staff, lots of whom started out as such volunteers. I can't recommend it too highly, to clients, volunteers and donors. If you want to help animals, I don't know where you could get more "bang for the buck."
