Totally agree-we all have our priorities. My point was that if we all give a little...to whatever cause we choose...maybe we can make a little dent in solving the problem.
And just curious...how many half-starving children have you adopted?
AAAS is NOT a shelter as has been clearly stated and this seems to be a rather general misconception reading some of the prior comments although the AAAS mission statement clearly outlines the role of the Association ? perhaps a quick look at Animal Rescue | Dog Adoptions Dominican Republic | Asociacin De Amigos Por Los Animales De Sosa, Inc. will clarify that fact to anyone with doubts.
Many of the people who are posting in this thread do not live in the Sosua area and, even some of those that do, have not visited the AAAS and therefore really don?t have first hand knowledge of the great work done there and the amazing difference that has been made for the local dog population.
If you are nearby and a committed animal lover then why not arrange to go along, see what is done and, even better, offer to volunteer in some way.
To those posting in this thread who, not only volunteer on a regular basis, but almost commit their lives to this cause, you know who you are and thank you.

I am so sorry that you have completely missed the point here - the AAAS do not chose to have animals dumped on their doorstep - irresponsible people dump animals on the doorstep of AAAS - maybe it's an educational thing - if you took the time to find out what the AAAS do, you may well be surprised!
Donations can be made in many forms...time, resources, and yes, money as well. Give what you can afford to give...in whatever form that is...and to whatever charity/cause makes your heart go pitter patter...
I hate to answer a question with a question but what would you do with such an animal where you live now?
None, nor do I ask for money to feed, house, or vaccinate any. But if given a choice between animals or kids, my choice is kids, your choice MAY be animals.....that is my point.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrr, as firmly stated Animal Rescue | Dog Adoptions Dominican Republic | Asociacin De Amigos Por Los Animales De Sosa, Inc. is NOT a shelter but if you would like to see how it functions, what is achieved and how you can be a part of that then I will be delighted to do the introductions personally.
And you wouldn't be the first person to 'just call me' either!!
Ummmm, that is apparently what William did, and was snubbed because of the amount which is why I even commented.....
$50 is $50 is $50.....they were better off than the hour before he got there, malagradecidos

I think you made your point quite clear here so, pray tell, why did you bother to post in a thread about dogs!!
If you have lived in Sosua for any length of time you will have noticed the reduction in the number of roaming packs of dogs, now there are only a few individual dogs that frequent Pedro clisante and if you look in their ears - usaulally the right one you will find a number tatooted there - this is the work of the AAAS. These dogs no longer reproduce in the numbers they used to and there ae fewer dog generally around.
Many of us who live here not only support AAAS but also support the Kids organisations either with time or money. It costs a great deal. And some of use support both of these - perhaps you can too!!!!

1.) Because I felt like it
2.) Because of William's post and the fact that I am sick of high and mighty charity folks who do things out of the kindness of their hearts for their particular cause and then snub or look down on people who donate if it is not what THEY want or expect. That is what "donation" is, either set a price or take what I give you and be thankful for it.

Excellent.
I LOVE people with a bias toward action, not words. People who DO and don't just talk.
Mega Kudos to the AAAS Community! It's folks like you that make a difference!
