| 820.1 | There are a lot of local shelters too. | SALEM::SHAW | | Thu Oct 20 1994 11:36 | 7 |

I have found that a very small precentage of the money actually
goes to the cause. As for myself, if I make any donations it is
usualy to my local no-kill shelters, etc.

| I got one of those too. I held on to it, but am hesitant to send any
money to a place I've never seen and don't know the financial details
of. If I do return for a vaca. to that area soon, I will check it out,
I'm sure, they make it sound like quite a place...

| That organization definitely rings a bell. If it is the one I am
thinking of, I believe I read an article done on them in one of the Dog
Magazines that's around. I think it was a woman or a couple of women
who started the organization and the accompanying photo showed pretty
stark surroundings, ie, desert. Anyways, it's a legit organization if
that is indeed the one. However, I kind of agree with the others who
have already written in here. When you are donating money, I
really think you are better off sending it to a local no-kill shelter.
That way you have a chance to see how your money is being used and you
are more apt to hear if there are problems with the place, etc.

| 820.4 | Care of out Lord's animals, Inc? | HELIX::SKALTSIS | Deb | Thu Feb 16 1995 12:03 | 12 |
| A man in my group just got a desprate, pleading letter from a shelter
that he has contributed to in the past. "Care of our Lord's ANimals,
Inc." in Alabama. It was federal expressed to him. In December they
needed $20,000 for a baloon payment, now they still need $3700 or they
may loose the land the shelter is on, and the 1500 animals would have
no where to go.
Did anyone else get something from these folks? He is wondering if they
are legitimate, etc.
