If you are interested in animal issues on the more local level, you might want to check out http://www.forgottenfelines.com or http://www.alleycat.org which are both cat rescue groups. I am not familiar with dog groups, though, but there are likely many out there. Most of the work I am familiar with in the dog world is rescue work of specific breeds, but there are probably more general groups. The first link has been working on an animal rescue that began in June, when a kitten named Adam needed help. You can read more about Adam and the other animals in the group at the link. I love when there is a happy ending to something, and it's important for us to realize and witness even one example of that.

I also belong to quite a number of the larger groups. like HSUS, ASPCA, American Humane Association and others. I try to post letter writing campaigns or newsletter alerts for action when I can as well. My email is constantly filled with requests for donations, and I try to send what I can when I can, but I always say that I'll take care of that in a much bigger way when I win the lottery. It hasn't happened yet. ;)
