A fabulous organization that I have given gifts through for several years is http://www.bestfriends.org/ which is an amazing animal shelter in Angel Canyon, Utah that houses more than 2,000 dogs, cats and other animals that need help and/or homes.
Best Friends is also the organization that was chosen to help rehabilitate Michael Vick's dogs.
From the site: "Most of the animals who find their way to Best Friends have special physical or behavioral needs, and our expert staff of veterinarians, trainers and caregivers offer them all the help they require. Most of them are ready to go to good new homes after just a few weeks of special care. A few, who are too old or too sick, or who have suffered extra trauma, find a home and haven at the sanctuary, and are given loving care for the rest of their lives."
Best Friends has a program where you can make a donation and sponsor an animal in someone's name. I have sponsored dogs, cats and a horse in the names of friends and family members; they get a photo and a story online about the animal they have helped support.
Here's their mission page:

And here's their "sponsor an animal" page:

This is a fabulous thread, let's remember to get it going again next year when we're needing holiday ideas!
