Yes, we donate regularly to the Austin Humane Society. However, this month there were two puppy mills here in Wa state that were busted, with 100's of dogs rescued, so this month I sent my check to them.
Here's a question for those that donate of their time. I really, really would like to volunteer here locally, it's something I have thought about for a long time, actually. My problem is that I am afraid I would have a hard time with wanting to adopt every animal no one else wanted. My husband and I travel quite a bit, and we are maxed out with our two, we don't leave them and always take them and so we can't really add another, we really can't. So my question to those who volunteer, how do you NOT end up with one of those others won't adopt (age, illness, etc) and how do you NOT become the crazy dog lady? It kills me when I go to Petco and they have those animals there, you don't know how many times I have almost come home with one.
