Best Friends Animal Society B+
Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International A

Marine Mammal Center A-
Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) A

Am asking for other suggestions here.
Thank you all.

PetSmart Charities is another good charity, and very easy to donate if you go into the store often. A few dollars here and there when you take your pet to the groomers or buy some treats helps!

(28,247 posts)Best Friends Animal Sanctuary for years. Thanks for reminding me. That's a top consideration.
And every time we're in PetSmart, we round up to donate at checkout.
The way my hub's fund is set up, we can name but one more charity and we're trying to find one that covers the most issues.
Liberalmuse, you've helped me narrow it down. Thanks! 🙏

(7,603 posts)mentioned seem great. Also, the name escapes me at the moment, but there is a group that transports pets all over the country for adoption. I'm sure a web search would find them. Good luck and thanks for what you are doing.
Thank you. Caring about critters is one of my greatest passions.
