Can anyone provide first-hand experience with this shelter in regard to their reputation of using the bulk of donated funds to provide for the care of their rescue pets? I am looking for a home for my stimulus check.
Thank you!

The Cat Crazy Villagers group works with the Humane Society on various rescue/adoption projects. You could check with one of the club's officers and ask about them. Email addresses are listed on their web site.

The CCV group also does fundraising for various pet-related causes. I'm sure they would be most appreciative of any donation you might want to make. Since we haven't been able to hold meetings for a year I'm sure their fundraising has suffered greatly.

Thanks for caring about our furry friends.

Very reputable shelter, I have been a donor for a few years now. As you probably know, it is a no kill shelter, and their staff is really dedicated. I visited and the attached picture happened, could not be happier! Actually, I mailed them a donation yesterday.

So with all the need of human beings due to the Corona virus, feeding and sheltering animals is the best way to donate during these times of human suffering?

Humans received a stimulus check. Animals did not. Put your money wherever you feel you need to.

We Fostered a Dog from here several years back. The people were wonderful. The Dog named Luca had so many problems that he ended up going back to them. We continue to go there from time to time and take a pup into the fenced-off play area and those dogs don't have a clue how much they do for humans.

I hope to get one from them to keep very soon.

These people deserve our support. They love those animals.

Some people are suffering but some are riding the unemployment wave and have good pensions and SSI benefits. Animals don't feel entitled.

100 percent of the monetary donations to Dachshund Rescue of North America go to pay for vetting or vet bills for foster dogs.

There’s always that one.... people are free to use their check in anyway they see fit...maybe they could go buy some air Jordan’s at the footlocker instead....I for one think it’s a wonderful idea...

The "Your Humane Society" (formerly known as the SPCA of Sumter County) in Lake Panasoffkee runs a fabulous animal shelter. I have also been donating there for years. Very caring people.

Thank you for your kind words! My husband and I have been volunteering for YHSSPCA, a no-kill shelter for the past 4 years and I know first hand of the caring and dedication of this organization! We, along with countless others, donate our time feeding, cleaning, socializing and caring for homeless animals as they wait for their forever home. This is from their website “ Founded in 1982, our non-profit charitable organization operates solely with contributions from individuals, businesses and foundations.” We rely on the generosity of the community to continue to serve!

One of the needs of human beings due to the Corona Virus is animal companionship. Animal shelters have been a God send for those in need.

Humans can help themselves. Often, animals are defenseless against what humans do to them.

The shelter animals are there because of human failings to care properly for them. Thank for having a Heart.

How do you know this is the only charitable donation made to an animal welfare group? You should mind your own business.
