This sub-category is mainly made up of humane
societies and animal rescue shelters. These organizations take in
animals from natural disasters, house fires, those families who get
transferred and can't take their pet, and strays that are found in their
area. There are also shelters that house a certain kind of
dog if you are looking for one in particular to support or adopt.
Without the ongoing support of donations these facilities will not be
able to afford to care for these animals, which results in the
termination of their lives. They all need your help so choose one
close to you!
This section is made up of organizations with the
goal of preserving and protecting our wildlife, of which many are on the
verge of extinction. Along with them are groups that support bird
and wildlife sanctuaries; these are places for sick or injured animals
to heal or to live out the rest of their life if they are too injured to
return to their natural environment. There are also resources for
fisheries found here. So if you are a fisherman, deer hunter, bird
lover, or you just want to protect the wildlife for your children to
enjoy, then this is your one-stop donating place.
Animal Services is primarily dedicated to animal
training and breeders. There are over 150 organizations to choose
from that specialize in obedience training for dogs and cats, kennel
clubs, horse training and all types of animal breeders. So if you
would like to support an organization that is the same as your family
dog, your favorite childhood dog, or the horse that you've always
dreamed of, then you can find it here!
Zoos and Aquariums have long since been a favorite of
children and adults alike. They let us see animals from other
countries and habitats not found in our little part of the world.
It gives us a peek into a world that most will never venture to see
above and below the water. Zoos and aquariums not only entertain
us but they educate us and can be used to study similarities in people
and the animal world. These facilities run primarily on donations
and need the continued support of its donators to continue to bring us
what we so truly enjoy.
Veterinary Services concentrates on foundations and
societies for the medical treatment of animals. This includes, but
is not limited to, diagnostic laboratories, medical facilities,
veterinary training, and biomedical research. In order to preserve
and protect the animals, we also have to know how to treat them in case
of illness or injury. There are many organizations here that need
your support.
Support Organizations in this category lists over
250. These are groups that support these animal causes through
their financial support, research institutes, public policy analysis,
management and technical assistance. There are also professional
societies and associations linked to the care and preservation of
animals in a wider capacity.
