Janell was MORE than generous with 600$, I know she also donated a lot to help that man get a new puppy, a total stranger and she opened her heart and her wallet ...
As of now, people who need money for clothes, money for transportation, money for new puppies to replace their dearly departed, money to search for a lost puppy, they will have to work it out for themselves.
I have faith in others still, just have learned a valuable lesson here.
And, yes, I am afraid some people will jump on me for having said that!

I give to Yorkshire Terrier Rescue Network, American Diabetes Assoc., Home for the Blind, the heart Fund and the Cancer Fund ... at least I can hope my funds go for research.
I would warn others to be careful where they decide to "donate" ...
I could list all the members i have donated to, and why? Because I felt bad for them. I find it hard to believe people will take other people's money ... I shall not list them, b/c I bet they would be embarrassed now.


**Warning*** keep your money for your family ....
and pray that this girl literally cleans up her act and takes care of her children and dogs properly.

I agree Monday but there are a few exceptions. We have been taken advantage of by a long standing member (me twice) but there are some I just could not say 'no' to if I had it. Giving to a national charity is the best or someone in your own neighborhood that needs help. I give to the Humane Society once a year but maybe will use it in another way this year. If we could only teach people to not trust every person that comes on here with a sad story it would be great.
