Do Your Homework Before Giving to Charity
[Wednesday, November 17, 2004]
Most of you who own dogs treat your dogs like family and care
deeply for the well being of all dogs. You want to give
generously to charities that benefit dogs, but the AKC advises
you to choose organizations that best serve your desired ends.
There is a difference between animal welfare organizations and
animal rights organizations. Animal welfare involves providing a
dog with love and proper responsible care for its entire life.
Animal rights include extreme views that disapprove of and seek
to eliminate companion animal ownership. The AKC supports and
encourages the best premises of animal welfare. Before making
charitable donations to animal-related causes, the AKC urges you
to thoroughly investigate, understand, and approve of the
programs or ideals your donation will support. Ask for a written
summary of the organization’s goals or mission. Request and
review a recent annual report. Will your funds go directly to help
animals or will they be used for administrative costs? Don’t be
afraid to ask detailed questions about how your donation will be
used, or to discontinue donations if you are not fully satisfied
with the charity’s work. You may consider donating to
worthwhile causes such as the parent club rescue organization
of the breed of your choice, an AKC-recognized federation, a
local animal shelter you’ve worked with, the AKC Canine Health
Foundation, AKC CAR Canine Support and Relief Fund, AKC
Museum of the Dog, Take the Lead, The Dog Fanciers’ Fund, Inc.,
or the National Animal Interest Alliance, to name a few.
