McElroy Donates $500 to the ASPCA

We have received several responses to our question asking for your favorite charity. Many were for animal protection organizations, so this month, that’s the cause McElroy is supporting with a donation of $500. All of the organizations suggested are excellent so a decision was very tough! We hope that all of those who voiced support for a different animal protection organization will find merit in this one as well.

Who the ASPCA is:

Founded in 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane organization established in the Western Hemisphere and today has one million supporters. The ASPCA’s mission is to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. The ASPCA provides national leadership in anti-cruelty, animal behavior, humane education, government affairs and public policy, shelter support, and animal poison control. The Humane Law Enforcement department is featured on the reality television series Animal Precinct on Animal Planet.

Please consider donating to an animal protection organization, or adopting an animal from a shelter or rescue organization. And if you have a great animal rescue story you’d like to tell, please write me at .
