With much thought – I have decided to end the Charity Chest blog – though I still support all US Charities, I have kept my favorites listed. Thanks to everyone who supported the site.
Directly from their website -
The ASPCA was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it’s saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country, we work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear. Come and join us in the fight to end animal cruelty—
become an ASPCA Member today!
Our mission is to give both a lonely, elderly person and an innocent, unwanted animal the gift of life, health and happiness.
We donate money to animal shelters across the country, saving the lives of pets that need homes. Our program enables elderly people who cannot pay the adoption cost to acquire a pet.
Since 1996 we have been responsible for the adoption of nearly 29,000 pets.
I just watched this story on the news about Mimi Ausland and her plan to make the world better for animals. Check out this site and support her cause. This is a 12 year old girl trying to make a difference and she is succeeding! Let’s support her, it takes 5 seconds of your time……what do you have to lose?
