i was hoping to be able to have somewher to check if certain charities were honest. for right now i would likee to know if hooves & paws animal rescue in puelo co and international animal rescue in shrewsbury ma and save Korea dogs were honest charities.
I suggest you look on CharityNavigator.com or the website guidestar.org, where you can search by the charity name and learn more about them. If you can’t find them and are not sure, I would suggest you look for something else.
