Donate
to an Animal Shelter of Your Choice
If
you have explored our web site and like the idea of making a donation to
help shelter animals, but do not wish to donate to the American Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or to Sponsoring Shelters
through PCT for Pets...
...there is
another option.
Banner and I would like to encourage you to make a donation to an
animal shelter
that you are familiar with, perhaps one in your hometown...
If you don't know of an animal shelter in your area, the links at the bottom of this page will take you to
some online directories that may help you find an animal
shelter near
your home. Any animal shelter you find will greatly appreciate
your donation.
After
you find a shelter
and decide to make a donation, we would like to ask you two simple
favors that will help Banner
and I keep track of donations that have
been inspired
(at least in part) by our
PCT for Pets adventure, and will help us
spread the word about PCT for Pets!
First, please enter
the
following information and press Send Information:
Name
of the shelter you are donating to:
City,
State where this shelter is located:
Amount
you are donating to this shelter:
$
NO
PERSONAL INFORMATION will be sent with this information.
A
Few Tips for Finding an Animal Shelter
Note that some shelters are "No Kill" shelters, while others will
euthanize
their animals after a time if they are considered "unadoptable."
Think about
which type of shelter you would like to donate to.
1. Try
looking in your local phone book
under
"Animal Shelters," "Humane Societies,"
or "Pet Rescue Organizations."
2.
Ask your local pet store for the location of nearby shelters.
3. Search
the Internet
for a shelter using
the
above
keywords and the name of your town.
4. Use the
following
LINKS to find an animal
shelter near you:
(Please note,
even though some of these
links say "dog rescue" they may
help you find animal shelters that also care for other animals)
