American Humane is the "lesser of two wevils" as they say. LOL They do not directly support shelters with cash. They do, however, spend a LOT of money on shelter outreach - providing consults to clean up older facilities, make them user friendly, and develop programs to increase adoption rates/lower euthanasia rates, develop PR packets, handouts, educational materials, etc that they provide free to shelters who ask for them. While they don't do hands on with animals they are far better than HSUS! Still not my recipient of choice for my donations but not HSUS. -- Suzanne www.tsalishepherds.com Home of BIS/BISS Ch Yancy HIC HT PT RA CD TC CGC BH, Ch Flash, Ch Flair, Ch Mousser, Tess [150 PLUS ROM points/40 ATAA points], Lil' Miss Gilli RN[Mjr Res Winner] and all the others waiting at the bridge.
