Best animal charities? [View all]

Last edited Tue Feb 19, 2019, 02:33 PM - Edit history (1)

Hubs and I are making a will and one of the things I'm insisting on is that some money go to an animal charity. Need recommendation.

Charity Watch has these listed as best:
ANIMAL & ANIMAL PROTECTION
African Wildlife Foundation A-
American Bird Conservancy A
American Humane A
Animal Welfare Institute A+
Bat Conservation International A-
Best Friends Animal Society B+
Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International A
Jane Goodall Institute B+
Marine Mammal Center A-
Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) A
PetSmart Charities A+
RedRover B+
Wildlife Conservation Society A


Am asking for other suggestions here.

Thank you all.
