Also, donate to local shelters, NOT the Humane Society of United States.
Addressing this separately.

I used to donate $200 per year to a certain shelter on Lombard St. That's where I got both of my dogs.

In adopting both of my animals, I was met by THE most rude people ever. The only pleasant interaction came with the lady who does the checking out and picking up the pups. My brother also adopted a dog from there as well, and they were just as unpleasant with him.

The final straw came when my wife finally witnessed it. We were visiting in consideration of a third dog and the woman in the back rudely told me "Don't let them smell your hand! You might give them some disease!"

Cool. You just lost a donor. I have never heard of a disease passed by smell from a human hand, but it must be pretty vicious.
