My Nonprofit Reviews

Inland Valley does not provide the status or disposition of their animals. It is a highly secretive shelter. They are a private shelter, as I understand, however due to their annual revenue coming from benefactors, donors, etc, they are obligated to reveal to the public whether an animal is "safe", "adopted" or "rescued". They lack transparency and I believe do not have an active Board of Directors. The financial status of Inland is secretive as well. Citizens want transparency and we demand they provide this to the public, along with accessibility to Board meeting minutes.

I just read that NYCACC has a Mobile Adoption Unit, which assists in placing animals and decisions of surrender . How amazing! I have been following NYCACC for the past year, and I have seen nothing on their website about a Mobile Unit. The website is run by "Urgent", individuals who have no affiliation with the shelter. As I understand , they receive their information from the shelter to post to the website. The shelter has a propensity of volunteers who assist daily, a vast amount. The amount of actual paid employees is low. This way more can be paid to the Director. The Board does not meet regularly nor are the meeting notes made available to the public. This is a horrible place for animals. NYCACC does not utilize the New Hope Partners like they should. In excess of over 200 Partners, in any given month, maybe 4-5 are used. NYCACC kills healthy dogs, puppies. Their narratives are contradictory at best, an animal will be listed as "accepting all handling, head and eyes "soft", then in the next paragraph it will indicate the dog is "at risk" for rescue , "no children under the age of 13", "tail stiff", etc, with no demonstrable explanation why this was added. There is under-handedness and cover-up at that shelter,and it will be discovered in time. The reports are "fudged", dates don't match. They have a separate list of "strays" and to this day, there are 2 dogs, one of which was a puppy that are still missing. I have the photos and ID numbers of both animals. Someday this shelter will be found out for what it really is, and be closed. We need new people in there, making sweeping changes for the benefit of the animals, instead of the pockets of the Director and her second assistant.
