As this site is Dog of the Day, Cat of the Day, Pet of the Day, maybe each month Paul and Karen could post a Shelter of the Month as a sticky in General. Then members could send their contribution directly to that shelter with a note that it was a Pet Talk contribution. Since the contributions would be small, the shelter wouldn't need to send out acknowledgements to every person who donates, just let Karen and Paul know what the total was from PT members for the month.

Maybe since we have members from so many various places, the Shelter of the Month could be recommended by a member selected by Karen and Paul. Just one idea. Maybe others could input what their ideas/suggestions would be.
