Review for Milwaukee Pets Alive Inc, Milwaukee, WI, USA
The executive director rules with an iron fist, is controlling and doesn't have a personality for working with the public. It's her way or the highway. Volunteers are seen as insubordinate and not respecting of authority if they ask a question or provide constructive criticism. Foster families (who should be treated like gold) are ignored or verbally trashed if they have issues with their foster animals or ask questions -- and then are called "crazy" if the foster situation doesn't work out and the animal needs to be moved to a new foster home. Comments asking "uncomfortable" questions or offering constructive criticism are deleted.
If you've donated to this organization, you have a right to ask the executive director where your money goes. As a nonprofit, they are required to provide an annual report stating as such, but so far have not provided any transparency as to how it spends its money.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Replace the executive director with one that has people skills. Force them to be accountable for where and how monetary donations are being used. Develop a better working relationship with volunteers and foster families. This organization could have a HUGE impact on saving animals in Milwaukee, if only it were run more competently.
