shelter donation links on pages

I've noticed that websites for "No-kill" shelters or regular shelters do not seem to have any link for online donations?

( I have seen "donation" links on other non-pet-related sites, and looks pretty easy to do.)

I could just call to see where to send it, but I can't help but wonder how much more they could get with a link for it online. ( for lazy /busy people like me)

It's not like I'm rolling in money, but I would donate more often if there were an easy link. Most of these places don't reply to emails or don't even have an email.

Yes, I wish I could do more, like foster some dogs... but right now I can't.

Smaller shelters that rely on donations would seem that this would be a good idea for them. And I would imagine they get no help from nationwide big-name places? Where do they get money from?

Oh well, I guess I'm just ranting. I keep getting busy at work and forgetting to call some places. I got my dog from a small shelter.

-Patrick and Rags.

Shelters are low funded as it is, many cannot spare the resources for a professional website, let alone spare resources and time to maintain it.

While I admire your determination to donate, may I just ask, are you also focusing on your local area?

Hi Traci,
Yeah, I know they are low funded. Here is where I got Rags from 13 years ago http://www.geocities.com/heartland/8645/ .
I wonder if they'd let me help on their webpage.
It was a very small place back then and may be still, I don't know. I meant to call today but we are missing a person at work and I was swamped. I will call them and another more locally tomorrow.
Thanks, -Patrick.
