This post will be short, as I'm getting ready for work. I'm not particularly big on donating money to things, mainly because I have so little of it myself. Also, I've been called selfish plenty of times before, and yes, I AM a fan of Ayn Rand. All that being said, I can't resist a furry face, and the idea of bad things happening to dogs and cats is one of the few things that will get me to open up my wallet. (This is also why there are six or seven cats in my house in GA, even though I'm not even in the US right now.) The most recent organization to which I donated money is the Jacksonville Humane Society. The humane society suffered a devastating fire last month which killed 67 cats and kittens and 19 dogs and puppies. The kennels were damaged and the cattery was completely destroyed. When I first read about this, I literally cried. And then I immediately sent them $100.
