My mistake for ever giving them a penny,
I give a small amount every month so am open to suggestions as to the most effective in caring for homeless dogs.
I have been sending $ to HSUS for a long time not realising that they don’t really have hands on care for dogs.
FYI - There’s a show on Natl. Geographic - DOG TOWN. They took several Vick dogs and rehabbed them. I love that show. They rehab dogs and find them good adoptive homes once they’re recovered.
Catch the show which usually airs after the Dog Whisperer.
