Pros

Mission: Animals are saved, and there are staff who are there for the right reasons.

Cons

Leadership: Org. is run by a woman who has been in her Presidential role since she was 28 years old - she is now 56. She sees this organization as hers and hers alone. She is closed minded to anyone who does not see things exactly as she does. She has no problems stretching or hiding the truth to suit her or her organization's needs. She purposely ensures that the Board members appointed are pliable to her will so that she can manipulate them to her will. One of the most dysfunctional nonprofit organizations I have ever encountered.
