Seeing this cute puppy, it's a great idea to give a donation to an animal shelter this holiday season as animals get less than 1% of the charity dollar. Be careful, however, that you give to a no-kill shelter. Unfortunately, many ASPCAs and the Humane Society remain high kill facilities. Many local shelters, who especially need your money in these difficult economic times, have adopted the newer philosophy of no-kill, but rather adoption, fostering and rehoming of homeless pets. The biggest no-kill shelter in the country is Best Friends in Utah. They took many of M. Vick's pit bulls, even though PETA wanted to put them down. They are currently being retrained so they will be suitable for adoption.
