A few words on Charitocracy

Firstly, for newcomers: here's how it works. Donors pool their monthly contributions, as little as $1. The cause with the most votes each month wins the pot. No matter how much or how little you contribute, each donor at Charitocracy gets one vote. This is where charity meets democracy. So please share this post (scroll down for social sharing icons) and ask your friends to join us and vote! That's how we spread the word and, as a result, grow the monthly pot. The bigger the pot, the bigger our positive impact on the world!

Spotlight on nominee Outer Banks SPCA

Nominee Outer Banks SPCA

Next in our series of posts about new Charitocracy nominees, we have nominee Outer Banks SPCA nominated by donor bjstager. You can find their web site here.

Our Mission Statement:

Dare County Animal Services, operated by the Outer Banks SPCA, provides professional and progressive animal welfare assistance to our residents. Our focus is on providing quality care, rescue, reunification, and rehabilitation to all stray, homeless, and abandoned animals in Dare County. We maintain extraordinary standards and achieve exceptional results, making our organization a well respected resource for responsible pet adoption, ownership, education, and retention on the Outer Banks.

The Outer Banks SPCA is an open-admission animal shelter dedicated to caring for all the lost and homeless animals of Dare County. As such, we take in approximately 2,000 dogs and cats each year. We never turn away a Dare County fur resident, whether they be sick, injured, aggressive or behavior challenged. We receive owner give ups, lost, stolen or stray, but we never turn away.

We believe it is not the animal's fault for being at the shelter. We want every healthy, treatable and manageable animal to get a second chance at love. We are dedicated and determined to saving every life we can through responsible animal care practices. We strive to maintain good health and a sound temperament in all our animals. We practice humane education and employ proactive adoption programs to decrease our animals length of stay and optimize space.

About nominee Southern Hope Animal Rescue & Education

It's more than just an all species animal rescue. SHARE is a place where we learn, grow and have fun!

We not only offer many volunteer opportunities but we also have a riding lesson program, pony ride parties and professional horse boarding services to help fund our rescue costs.

We primarily assist local shelters with the placement of farm animals, dogs, cats and rabbits but are also known to accept owner surrendered animals of all kinds.
