My Nonprofit Reviews

I first became aware of NHES many years ago and will, without reservation, wholeheartedly recommend them to you as a genuine and truthful organization. It has been my good fortune to have adopted 4 dogs from them over the past 29 years. In 1984 I adopted a wonderful, young Shepherd mix. She was a loyal and faithful friend for many years. As I write this, my younger Chihuahua mix is by my side and my other, elder Chihuahua is sleeping in her bed. These wonderful little creatures have and continue to enrich my life in many ways.

I have had opportunity visit NHES facilities both current and prior. I have also had opportunities to interact with their personnel at different levels within the organization. My honest opinion is that they are completely who they claim to be. There are policies in place to help safeguard the placement of animals into homes. The animals receive a level of care that probably exceeds that given in many private households. It appears to me that NHES is a most worthy and reputable group of people. My recommendation would be to tour the facility in Charles Town and interact with some of the folks, and then form an opinion.

I read the negative reviews about the fund raising technique that utilized the mailing of a $2 dollar check. Obviously some may misunderstand this or view the mailing out of $2 dollar checks as inappropriate; however, the sad truth is that fund raising is difficult and ongoing. I have observed NHES personnel diligently work towards meager funds generation through yard sales, bicycling and walking events and other labor-of-love efforts. NHES is struggling to generate additional funds through a first time effort in a nearby thrift store. It is obvious to me that they are in pursuit of every viable option to bring in the funds necessary to continue their noble mission.
