WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for the Environment and Welfare (CEW) on Thursday launched a new campaign aimed at educating the public on how best to help pets in their communities on Giving Tuesday.

Key Points:

The campaign stems from a new CEW survey of pet shelters and rescues across the United States.
Of nearly 2,000 pet shelters and rescues that participated in the survey:
Informed by these results, CEW's Giving Tuesday campaign explains that the best way for animal lovers to help pets in their communities is to support their local shelters.
In reality, the Humane Society of the United States operates zero pet shelters, and neither organization is affiliated with local humane societies and SPCAs.
On Giving Tuesday and every day, the best way to help cats and dogs is to give directly to your local pet shelter."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for the Environment and Welfare (CEW) today released a report exposing the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) for their abysmal financial support of local animal shelters across the United States.

Key Points:

Despite their names, the HSUS and the ASPCA have no affiliation with local humane societies and SPCAs operating in communities across the United States.
While the ASPCA and HSUS are not affiliated with local pet shelters, their similar-sounding names have resulted in widespread confusion among the public, as evidenced by polling.
Donors deserve to know that groups like the ASPCA and HSUS are sitting on millions in investments and paying their executives sky-high salaries.
Donors who want to support local shelters deserve to know the truth."
