Jackie,

I work at a non-profit shelter and we accept any and all donations! In fact, our favorite donations are the blankets, bones, and toys for the dogs and cats. We take really good care of our animals.

The city shelter here is a different story as Spencer mentioned There is never anything in their cages except two metal bowls for food and water. They aren't taken out and have to sit in their own urine... Blah, I've made myself cry so I won't get myself started any further.

I would just suggest finding a non-profit like Spencer suggested. Or maybe find a rescue group in your area and contribute to a doggy needing surgery or something?

Also, North Shore Animal League has that sponser-a-pet program where they'll send you a gift, picture of your sponsered dog, and letter thanking you. I'm thinking about doing that. They play the commercial all the time on Animal Planet. I'm in love with the dog Mona they show on it.
