My Nonprofit Reviews

I started volunteering with FOHA in 1994 as a dog walker, and since then have also been a cat snuggler, dog and cat foster, and fundraiser. I am continually impressed with the level of a care they provide to their animals. Many rescues only vaccinate and spay/neuter, but FOHA also does additional procedures as warranted for animal comfort, such as dental procedures and TPLO surgery. They also take in heartworm positive dogs and FIV positive cats, which many shelters do not. They have matured an enrichment program to help address shelter stress for animals at the shelter. They have several trainers who work with the dogs, and train staff and volunteers on working with dogs so there is a consistent approach. The level of support they provide to adopters before, during, and after the adoption process is also excellent, aimed at keeping the animals in the home.
