I was so moved by the ASPCA ads showing them rescuing animals from horrible abuse, that I joined up and make regular donations. And if they have an urgent need I will gift more. I can't watch those ads anymore, I just FF through them.
I also donate to Keepers of the Wild in Valentine AZ. It's a small sanctuary on my way south for the winter. Lots of big cats.. I love those. Breaks my heart to see any animal abused or neglected. Thank heaven for the caring people in those industries.
You ought to look into how the ASPCA spends their money. That “urgent need” just might be a $100k bonus to the CEO.
They're actually not bad: https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3286
But be aware that the overwhelming majority of their work and effort is in NYC and probably have very little impact on you're area (unless your in NYC). Personally, I prefer local charities, or at least organizations that impact my community.
