Check the shelter
If you're an animal lover interested in donating goods or money to your local shelter, it's a good idea to visit first, according to animal advocates.
Are the kennels and cages clean and full?
Is there a mix of animals (cute, homely, young and old)?
Does the shelter extend lifesaving guarantees to all breeds?
If it isn't practicing what it preaches, you might want to donate elsewhere.
