Do you give to animal charities?

Money is tight all over I know and it does make it hard to carry on giving but I try to renew my membership to the shelter where I got my dog from and buy their raffle tickets each year. They also run a calender scheme featuring animals from the home and I buy at least one of these.

I have given regularly to other charities in the past but that's not so easy nowadays. Have thought about maybe taking on some fundraising activity rather than just giving so will see what opportunities there are for that.
