(68,362 posts)Hope for Paws. You can see on YouTube many touching videos of their rescues of stray, abandoned, and feral dogs.
The guy who runs the group and personally does most of the rescues is, I believe, named Eldad. Really, go view the videos. You will come away believing him to be a saint or an angel--even if, like me, you are not at all religious!
All my charity donations go to animal rescue groups. Some people might criticize me for donating only to animal rescue rather than human focused charities, but I am passionate about the welfare of animals, and as someone famous once said (maybe it was Einstein--I no longer recall), life among humans is for animals an endless experience like the torture and extermination camps run by the Nazis.
ON EDIT: The remark I refer to at the end of my post was made by the brilliant fiction writer Isaac Bashevis Singer. He said that for animals life is "an eternal Treblinka." I fret all the time over the suffering if animals--and not just the ones humans find cute or appealing. ALL suffering horrifies me, but animals' vulnerability to human cruelty bothers me most.
Second edit: Corrected two typos in the subject line.
