A reason to smile.
Animal Ark received some rather startling statistics from Amazon Smile this past week. Thanks to our faithful donors choosing Friends of Animal Adoptions as their charity of choice, we received a quarterly donation total of over $400. Since the program began, Animal Ark has been the recipient of over $5,000 in donations.
$400 buys a lot of cat and dog food. $5,000 can cover the medical costs of our neediest animals, like Houser who was featured in a recent blog post. You might not think the “mere pennies” that result from an Amazon Smile purchase amount to much, but in a COVID world where online commerce grows every day, these statistics prove those small donations have huge impact.
Donating via Amazon Smile couldn’t be easier:
