Your Comments Can Help Animals Near You
Step right up, HumaneWatchers! Your opinion counts more than ever before.
Each Friday between now and the end of October, we'll be choosing two HumaneWatch "Comments of the Week." Each winner will choose a hands-on pet shelter or pet rescue organization near where they live, and we will donate $100 to each designated organization. (If you don't know the names of shelters near you, our HumaneWatch pet shelter page is a good place to start.)
