I can't handle those sad Pedigree doggy commercials (though I did read that Echo got adopted).

Though I've got to say, they do work...the ones they ran last year during Puppy Bowl cemented the SO & I's decision to get a dog. We were only partialy looking, but after the sad commercials we went at it full force to find a dog that needed a good home.

The ones on the Animal Planet where they ask you to support the ASPCA always get to me. I want to adopt every single critter on there and if I won the lottery they'd never have to ask for money again. :,(

My DD leaves the room every time a Pedigree commercial comes on. She can't stand seeing those dogs and not adopting them all. :,( I feel the same way, although as an adult I know I can't afford them all!!! But I also tell her, think of the publicity the dog in the commercial is getting. I bet they get adopted right away and then their companions in the shelter have a better chance too, because of the people who come in from the commercials.

I used to give to the ASPCA annually but they sell your name to every other animal rights group on the planet. Nearly every day I would come home from work and be assaulted by gruesome literature about every animal cruelty out there: anti-fur pamphlets with sickening photos, bullfighting, slaughterhouses, feed lots, etc. I finally stopped giving after I got one from a charity trying to end bear baiting in Tibet (or some other very remote place) with photos of a young bear chained to a pole and being viciously mauled by dogs while spectators cheered. :no:

That image stayed with me for so long. I talked to one of my dh's friends who actually lobbied for the ASPCA but it really wasn't his place to address that particular issue with his client....eventually I stopped giving to them.

I love the idea of donating to the ASPCA, but it just made me feel worse because there are so many other causes out there that I just can't afford to give to - and if I did, not sure it would help (how does one stop bear baiting in another country??)

Anyway....maybe I'll give anonymously in the future. :(

I cry every time that Pedigree commercial comes on, and I can't handle the Animal Planet ASPCA one, either. I am kind of choking up just thinking about that little blond dog - I hope he really did get adopted!

My mom used to give donations in her cat's name. So, mail would come to the house addressed to Maggie Hall. You can donate anonymously.

I used to donate to Planned Parenthood in my dad's name (Republican Right to Lifer) and would laugh when he'd freak at the envelopes to him from them. :lol:

I have to leave the room when the aspca one comes on. The music and faces do me in. I want so badly to go volunteer at our local shelter, but they close before I get off work. I have considered foster homing. One of our students moms runs the shelter in her area, and our 4-H kids always go help out with everything.

Those pedigree commercials are so sad. Everytime I see them I get sad and I want to go get another dog.

THe one that ALWAYS gets me teared up was the one that ran last year narated by David Decoveny where it ends with "And I just want to go home". :( My dog was in the pound for 6 months before I got him and I get sad when I think of how confused and scared he must have been-it took him months to come around and like people. And then I think about how I was luckily that he got to stay in the pound that long and wasn't euthanized (they thought he was highly adoptable and didn't want to put him down). So I got him :hug:
