Tuesday Top Twelve: Dog Welfare Charities
I posted yesterday about the great work being done by the PetFinder.com Foundation, and it struck me that people might like to have some options that are more local or that are focused on an area other homelessness when they decide where they may donate.
It’s often tough to decide which charity to support because you want to make sure your money is being used for the purpose you intended. I consulted Charity Navigator to choose the following twelve charities. All of these organizations earned four stars from Charity Navigator, the highest score available.
Charities are judged based on their organizational efficiency and their organizational capacity. The site also provides a list of the accountability policies the charity has, such as whistleblower protection and audited financial data available via their website. Finally, there is a place for news reports regarding the organization and a spot for those familiar with the charity to offer reviews.

Woukdn’t you like to help make all shelter dogs this happy?
If you read this blog on Sundays, you know I always feature a homeless pet from PetFinder’s Shelter Center, in hopes of finding a home by providing publicity for at least one animal a week. From my point of view, PetFinder provides a very valuable service simply by providing a central repository where people can go to search for adoptable pets no matter where they live. What I didn’t know is that PetFinder also has a non-profit foundation that provides grants and other support to local shelters and rescue organizations to help them become more sustainable.
