“PLZ DONATE GENEROUSLY! This poor dog shelter desperately needs money, I sure hope the staff in the higher position are not taking a giant salary from the nonprofit money that comes in from donations. The staff were all great people that help and walk you through everything. Just a few cons. One, it’s a very old beat down place, almost extremely unsanitary to the point. There are pigeons flying, which literally poop on the dogs and inside of where the dogs are kept. I saw dead mouse inside one of the dogs cabin. so one portion of where the dogs beds are and where they sleep is extremely warm but the other side, where they usually go the bathroom is freezing cold, I mean, literally I was shaking while wearing the heaviest jacket on earth so just imagine when the dogs have to use the bathroom. now walking down the hallway the lights were not working, and it looked like the scene of a horror movie, poor dogs have no light in that section. lastly, when they just walk the dogs they have NO sweaters on them and mind you I went on the coldest weekend that we’ve had for 10 years and it was 5° out. Overall, I was truly disgusted but I have to say the dogs all seem healthy and properly fed food since they none of them looked malnourished.”
“Boys and Girls Club was fun and they served good lunch, they have great teachers but this year they working on the other side, and I am a student and the experience is fun and for the summer camp they go on field trips and swim lessons and swimming, if you send your kids to great oaks they can ride the bus to the boys and girls club and they have game room and swimming pool and 2 parks, and a class room A and a gym and a dance room.”
“Adriana Acosta was my caseworker. She was very dedicated and always went above and beyond. The harmony house is a great place to utilize to get back on your feet.”
“My mother used to work there and I used to be a student there. Paul McPleasant used to work there and was a bus driver. My mother's friend, "Cora" used to work there and Cora's daughter and her son used to be students there. I had a girlfriend, "Betty" and other girlfriends, "Lala and Shamay". And I had a friend named James. Ms. Farmer used to work there and she moved to North Carolina. I wanted Shamay to come to my house. I went on trips to the shopping center, to the amusement parks with my brother and sister, and to the beach with my brothers and my sister and her girlfriend, "Juliette". My sister other girlfriend, "Wanda Carter" used to work there and she was a friend of mine.”
