The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the United States’ first humane organization. Its motto is to “”to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.” It began more than one hundred years ago in 1866 and today its 750,000 members have helped prevent animal cruelty through education, awareness, and passing legislative bills.
It’s very easy to find ASPCA logo-themed items. Not only are they attractive, but you can also feel good about yourself knowing that for every product you buy with an ASPCA logo, 6% of the retail price goes towards one of its humane programs. Even personal checks now contain images from ASPCA.
Some of the programs that are benefited by the profits are a full service animal hospital and adoption facility. There is even a hotline dedicated to poison control for animals. New York City also has a Humane Law Enforcement Department.
One of the reasons that the ASPCA is so popular is that they prevent animal cruelty primarily to animals that function as pets. Many dog and cat lovers appreciate this, as pets can become part of your family and you want to protect them.
Customers are able to find checks with both cat and dogs on the ASPCA personal checks. If you’re a dog person, too, there are at least 5 different breeds to choose from. Some of the ASPCA checks also have images of several cute puppies, posing playfully in the autumn leaves.
In addition to checks, you can also purchase coordinating ASPCA accessories. You might want to check out matching address labels with your favorite pooch’s image, or a canvas checkbook cover. The matching accessories will also give a percentage of the retail price to the organization so you can give even more of a donation.
While the personal checks feature images of dogs or cats, you may find checkbook covers that have little paw prints walking steadfastly over the cover. You can find the color orange featured on the checkbook covers since orange is the ASPCA’s official color.
You can also find ASPCA checks in duplicate form. Duplicate checks are good because once you write a check and rip it out; a copy of the check is left behind. This can be great for your records because even if you forget to record the transaction you will have a copy of it.
The great thing about ASPCA checks is that not only are they stylish and more interesting than plain white checks, but you’re also supporting a good cause when you purchase them. Each time you write a check over an image of a furry kitten, you can feel good about yourself knowing that you’re aiding in the prevention of animal cruelty.
Personal bank checks with stylish images can be expensive when you order them from your local bank. However, by ordering checks online you can save around 50% of the total cost. You can also expect to have them delivered in about 5 days, which can even be faster than your bank can get them to you.
