Whether you are a pet owner (like me) or just love animals and wish to help (like me), there are many ways to show your support of the Pearl River County SPCA.  By shopping through the link with http://www.igive.com/, shopping could not be easier and the best part is you are helping a favorite charity as a result.

Each time you make a purchase from one of 682 (and growing!) participating online stores through http://www.igive.com/, a percentage -- up to 26% in one case -- will go directly to help support the work of the Pearl River County SPCA.  Vendors include names we all know:

Home Depot, JC Penney, Lands End, OfficeMax, Petco, PetSmart, Godiva, Fossil, FTD, Circuit City, AT&T, Teleflora, Staples, Tupperware, Avon, Wall Street Journal (16%--wow!), Target, Barnes & Noble, BestBuy, H&R Block, Travelocity, Edwin Watts Golf, Tabasco Country Store, ProActive Solutions, and so on.   FYI, one of the most generous vendors is a company named Botanic Choice, so if you are looking for health products and supplements, please check out this vendor online via http://www.igive.com/ because they will donate 20%!.

Please check out ValueMags (for magazine subscriptions), with the highest rate donated back--a whopping 26%!  Guess which vendor will be renewing all my subscriptions? 

Even such seasonal vendors as "A Letter from Santa" will donate 10%--so please think of doing your Holiday 2007 gift shopping online and save yourself the wear and tear of dealing with crowds and parking.  Some other holiday choices include Harry & David's, Hickory Farms, and Vermont Country Store--and there are many pet-oriented vendor sites, of course.  If you enjoy catalog shopping, this is the perfect hassle-free way to purchase gifts for your friends and business associates this upcoming holiday season. 

I promise, you will be amazed at the list of of vendors who have made a conscious decision to give something back to charity.  And no, the products and services do NOT cost more--many even offer money-saving online coupons because you care and support the same charitable causes they do---so you are often saving even more than the general buying public.

Here is a quick list of the vendors who will donate 10% or more to the Pearl River County SPCA:
