My Nonprofit Reviews

I have volunteered with several groups, including a very large, very well known shelter here in Michigan. I can honestly say, no one takes better care of the animals AND the volunteers. Any animal taken in is given whatever vetting it needs, and immediately. All information on each animal is meticulously recorded, emergency vet needs are always taken care of. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not well informed about animal rescue.

I've been involved in animal care since 1991, first at a big shelter but also several smaller non profit groups. Paws for Life commits to each and every animal they take in and treat it as if it was their own. Each animal is fully vetted and emergency needs are taken care of immediately. Foster home volunteers are provided with anything needed and reminders are sent for foster animals vetting as well as adopted animals. They provide all medical records to the new owners and provide all information available about the adopted animal. They take animals from high kill, over crowded shelters where they would be euthanized due to lack of space. Having seen several aspects at various rescues, I would definitely rate PFL a 5 star rescue.

I want C.N. to remove their "warning" as I belive CAI has satisfactorily answered all the allegations. It's over. I have confidence in their belief that education is the only way. Hey, all that killing and all that bombing have not changed a thing. Education both in the US and Pakistan and Afghanistan is our only hope in getting them out of the stone age, giving women the freedom of choices they deserve.

I beleive all the allegations have been answered by Greg Mortonsen and CAI. I believe this "warning" of these unproven accusations should be removed from Charity Navigator. I believe that the money is being used appropriately and I suspect some of you critics may not know a lot about his work...he is the attraction, he is the one that must travel, and sometimes to places where commercial planes, etc. would not be practical. He recently spoke at a small town in Michigan and spent hours signing autographs adn speaking to people personally. How many of us would kill our selves for a cause we fully believe in? I will continue to support this man. His approach, I beleive, is the only way to change things in the Middle East. And it's a lot cheaper than war.

I'd like to know what the ulterior motive behind this is. And if it's on TV we should all believe it right? If you check their website you will see that questions about Greg's "use" of funds has already legal been reviewed and found to be alright. I'm sure the CEOs of other charities do not fly around the country and pay from their own pocket. I saw him speak here in Michigan last year...he is obviously passionate about helping these kids, he stayed and signed autographs personally for well over an hour, speaking with each of us personally and seemed tired, but never rushed anyone that wanted to talk. His schedule is day after day after day of travel and you sure can't depend upon commerical flights for dependability. Reference the salaries of a few other charities who are having less of an impact on the world and our future and compare salaries. The only way to stop the hatred of the US by these countries who are uneducated and secluded from the real world is education. I couldn't care less if he "condensed" his Korphe experience, so what. What matters is what is accomplished now. He spent a lot of years of his own effort to get this going. Please tell me what the hidden agenda of this Krakauer guy is???
