Well good for you. You don't mind being harassed. I love animals. However there are other organizations designed to help animals other than the ASPCA and they don't harass the people who donate. Also I just wonder how much of they money they receive goes to help the animals. They spend A LOT of money on television ads, contracts with a donation service to call people and not mention all the crap they mail EVERY DAY.
No worries! Just the ASPCA. I am a monthly donor, my card they were direct withdrawing from had expired. I am passionate about their venues and happy to donate to this worthwhile group. Glad they called. By the way, the donations are tax deductable.
It is a telemarketing firm who is asking to raise donations for the ASPCA. All I could do was 2 dollars a month extra. I went from giving 18 to $20 bucks a month. These places are hurting like everyplace else is. If you can't give extra then don't. If you can give a dollar or two more than do. It's up to you. But the calls are legit.
From 'CBabe': "I'm telling EVERYONE I know NOT to DONATE to the ASPCA and NOT to make a PURCHASE from the ASPCA"
Wow....so you are deliberately advising people not to donate to this a cause all because you were inconvenienced for a few minutes. Thousands of cats and dogs die each day due to a lack of homes and funding and yet you were inconvenienced.....yep, you're right...don't donate to help the less fortunate. Wow.......
I do donate to several animal charities from time to time... mostly the SPCA. However, I never leave my number and if it's mandatory, I check to NOT call me. I decided on a wim to just google this number and it's crazy to see that you all have received calls from this number as well. I get calls several times a day and NEVER do they leave a voicemail. I have called back once and it started saying, "Thank you for calling back the ASPCA, please hold while we access..." then I hung up. I probably should've stayed on the line to tell them I don't want anymore phone calls but it's bordeline harassment. Several times a day, almost every day?
