My Nonprofit Reviews

I have fostered for Saving Hope a few times and due to horrible communication and processes, I’ve stopped volunteering for them. Each time I’ve reached out to foster or they reached out to me, I explained that I can foster a pup that already has had all their vetting and don’t need any further vet appointments since I am unable to commit to that due to work schedule and transportation. Each time they got me a foster only finding out after I took them home that they need vetting. I tried reaching out to other volunteers that so transport only and never got a response. It was stressful and one of those times had to plead with them to find another foster. Their communication is so conflicting. I was in a group chat where I asked if my foster was good to go for posting for adoption. The founder/owner said yes but one of the coordinators said No, he still needs all his shots and chip. I was so irritated! I took care of the pup and successfully got him adopted but it was my last time with them. The owner is over her head and not competent in running this organization. They say they want to help animals but time and time again I’ve seen them post asking for a foster for help with a transport and all these people are responding saying they can help but no reply from them. Responders were even saying, I offered to help, no reply, do you still need someone and they never come back and close the conversation. It leaves people hanging.
Last straw for me was actually recent when a puppy was dumped out where I live. I took him in, tried to find the owners and didn’t so reached out to SH asking if they can help find a foster. Nobody from the organization responded except 3 days later and it was just to tag someone in the comments. And the kicker, I saw a couple posts after mine with a similar situation and they jumped in to help them. So luckily I know someone who has connections to another rescue, Allie’s Haven, and they immediately set me up with a coordinator to take the puppy. All within 24 hours of contacting them. That is what a good rescue does. They are now my go to rescue. SH, please fix your communication and get better staffing. You definitely don’t practice what you preach.
