List of charitable organizations helping animals

This list was compiled partly by online research and partly by organizations submitting their information. If you want your charitable organization (your main focus must be helping animals) to be listed here, please contact me to add your listing.

Every effort was made to ensure that information on this page is accurate; however, I encourage you to make sure that the organization of your choice is indeed what it claims to be and that it will spend your donation wisely. This website focuses on helping dogs, which is why the majority of the list is dog related; however, you are encouraged to support all species equally.

When you donate, please keep in mind that the ultimate solution is to fight the problem at its root by outlawing puppy mills.

The order of the list changes every time the page is loaded, however, groups fighting puppy mills are always on the top of the list.
