Review for Oregon Humane Society, Portland, OR, USA
I've been with OHS as a volunteer and a donor since 1998. My long-term committment is primarily due to the way this organization is run and operated. It's efficient, runs with a lean staff in comparison to the number of animals they are able to care for and place (with a strong volunteer base) and makes financial decisions that hit home and sit well with me. They are always the animal welfare organization that other shelters/rescues and law enforcement turns to for help with taking an overflow of animals and helping with large scale rescues, which wouldn't be possible if not managed soundly.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Knowing this organization and how it's run so intimately, I can't see what needs to be changed--it's not broken, doesn't need to be fixed.
