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.
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
