Do a little research and, if you have a soft spot for a particular breed of dog, see if there is a breed specific reputable rescue in your state. I volunteer with Mid Michigan Boxer Rescue and chose this particular rescue not because I loved boxers (never had one until a little over a year ago) but because I learned that they will help the dogs that other rescues leave behind because they are old or ill. We have spent $1000's on individual dogs that needed costly surgery or cancer treatment. We will pull dogs from shelters knowing that they will have fleas and kennel cough just because of the particular shelter they are coming from. We have a terrific record for getting older dogs adopted. Adopters are well screened and matched with a dog that will fit their lifestyle and personality. Also, no breed is left behind because we are a boxer rescue group. We do help other breeds, including bullies and mixed breed dogs. My current fosters are Jael (pit puppy found outside a burning crack house) and Astro (a boxer/hound mix).

I can't think of an organization more deserving of financial support and I'm sure if you do a bit of research and ask the right people the right questions you can find a deserving rescue group that helps your community. Keep your money close to home where you can see it doing some good!
