Dear Christine,
Amazon will now donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to Yorkie Haven Rescue when you shop at AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com).

I think you just need to be sure you shop using smile.amazon.com though.

Yes, I believe it remembers you! The other link is not like that.

Oh my goodness, my name's Sally and I am an Amazonaholic too....

Linda - do you know, am I able to do that from over here? I buy loads of stuff, and would LOVE to donate to YHR in this way.

Please don't trouble yourself if you don't know 'off the top of your head' - I'll check it out when I place my next order (probably tomorrow....!!!

). Such a great idea!

I just went to Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more and got this pop up reminder:

Remember, start at smile.amazon.com to support Yorkie Haven Rescue.
Amazon donates a portion of eligible purchases made at AmazonSmile to the charity of your choice.
We won't show you this reminder again.

SO, yes, it does remember but you have to go to www.smile.amazon.com

I have been so used to going through YHR site for the other link...so was not positive. This is great!

Sally, I am sure you can. Just go to the site today to see if you can sign up! I know that only organizations in the US can participate but I don't think it matters who shops!

Thank you!

Ok, bookmarked it.

Ok, I confess, I am an Amazonaholic too. I try to remember to use the YHR link but sometimes forget, so now I'll use this new one.

I have often wondered how much actually goes to YHR, and what are the "eligible purchases". It would be interesting if we could see just how much they have contributed from my/our purchases.

BTW, I have recently started ordering dog food from Amazon, and have found better prices and availability than at stores over here.... and they delivered free via FedEx in just 3 days (I have Amazon Prime). Love Amazon for everything.

I am going to be making some amazon purchases pretty soon (probably today). We need a new sound bar for our tv. I'll be sure to purchase in support in YHR. I already found one I want in Amazon Smile at a great deal. YAY!

Thank you!
