I feel like making a donation. Do you have an idea of a good choice. For animals.

Thanks

You might want to look into this group. I've met people online who have adopted pets from the animal group but I have no personal knowledge about this particular organization.

P.S. I also hate those TV ads you're talking about. They make me physically ill.

Best Friends Animal Society - About Us

At the sanctuary

The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary at Angel Canyon, at the heart of the Golden Circle of national parks in southern Utah, is home on any given day to about 2,000 dogs, cats, and other animals, who come from shelters and rescue groups around the country for special care they can only receive at Best Friends.

Most of the animals who find their way to Best Friends have special physical or behavioral needs, and our expert staff of veterinarians, trainers and caregivers offer them all the help they require.  Most of them are ready to go to good new homes after just a few weeks of special care.  A few, who are too old or too sick, or who have suffered extra trauma, find a home and haven at the sanctuary, and are given loving care for the rest of their lives.

Around the country

Best Friends works with our members -- and with humane groups, individuals and entire communities -- to set up spay/neuter, shelter, foster and adoption programs in neighborhoods, cities, and states throughout the country. Through this work, Best Friends is helping to save and rehabilitate tens of thousands of animals each year.

Through the online Best Friends Network, the society reaches across the nation and around the world, helping local communities to rescue animals in distress and to create their own No More Homeless Pets communities.

why don’t you just donate food, warm blankets ,kitty litter ect. to your local animal shelter?
I can’t bring home any more pets, but I buy stuff like that and just drop it off.
OR you could go to your shelter and walk/play with the caged dogs.If your shelter lets you

Donate directly to your LOCAL shelter or purebred rescue. They use the money for the animals, not for lobbying for causes that you may not agree with.

Locally. The national HSUSA is no good. See a couple of the other posts on this thread for more info.
