Review for Humane Society of Berks County Inc, Reading, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a newly elected board member of the Humane Society of Berks County, I am thrilled to begin serving in a more integral way to support this fine organization. Having served as a volunteer with the organization for events during the past 4 years, I am pleased to now be able to extend my support of the important work this organization conducts. The HSBC is focused on it's core mission to provide for the welfare of animals. This is demonstrated in every way possible, through the support of animals via adoption and vetinary services as well as the extended events to raise awareness about the organization and educate the community to provide for the welfare of animals. This organization receives no money from the local or county government and is 100% self sustaining. Therefore, the fundraising that is conducted is vital to the success of this organization. I believe that the staff, volunteers and leadership of this organization have "all the right stuff", a nice community of caring, dedicated people who are focused on their mission to provide for animals in need, educate the community and enhance the local area by serving as a place to care for animals.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The funds raised to help animals in distress. This orgnization has expanded it's Dog center, to provide a safe, quiet, warm environment to enhance the well being of animals while waiting for adoption. The HSBC has also been able to advocate for, coordinate governmental regulations / applications and receive a generous donation to create and open a FREE Dog Park available to the residents of Berks County.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Everything this organization is doing so far is top notch. If I could add support, I would work to enable the organization to receive additional support / funds from the residents of Berks County.
