Frequently asked questions

3

the Nature Conservancy As the name of this animal charity implies, their focus is nature, and nature includes every manner of animal and their habitat. Their website is also very informative, and has a number of ways you can help.

4

the Humane Society The Human Society is my favorite animal charity, focusing on the humane treatment of animals. They have local branches in just about every major city and metropolitan area, and they provide all sorts of animal care, from veterinary services to pet adoption services.

5

Actors and Others for Animals This is the organization most of us know from Betty White. She’s a prolific and important animal activist, and she’s been a supporter of this organization since I was little, and probably longer. Most of our favorite celebs are involved too!

the Animal Legal Defense Fund

the Animal Legal Defense Fund Okay, this may sound strange, but animals need legal services, too. They can’t speak for themselves, or defend their rights, so this organization does it for them. They’re brilliant legal teams with the mission of protecting animals, and they’re tireless animal advocates.

the National Audubon Society Who doesn’t enjoy the sweet sound of birdsong? The Audubon Society cares for birds and promotes understanding, education, and care. If you’re looking to start a new holiday tradition, why not participate in their Christmas bird count?

These are just a few of my own favorite animal charities, but there are so many more! Which of these is your favorite? Or do you have another national, international, or local animal charity you love more? Please let me know!
