What wildlife adoption program is the best one to donate to?
Q. I'd like to become involved in wildlife adoption and would like to give some as gifts. There are so many out there. Does anyone know which one is best? Which one gives more to conservation? I'd like to know that my money is going to help wildlife directly.

A. The biggest organization with regards to helping the wildlife is the World Wildlife Fund, backed by the united nations. It aims to conserve and preserve our ecology and above all, protect the endangered species. The focus of the organization is varies in areas since each areas has different needs. For example, in China they help Panda, in the Philippines, they help the biggest eagles in the world, the philippine eagle, in the Arctic they help the polar bears and many others. Choosing the organization can be of wide range, and it depends on your disposition of what organization to help. But then, giving money is just half the fun, try to help and reach our yourself in order for you to feel and see that you have really contributed to the… [cont.]

What kind of dogs do they have for adoption at animal shelters?
Q. I want to adopt a puppy for my 4 year old son. But with all the animals that end up in animal shelters, I would like to adopt one there as opposed to buying one from a pet shop. I worry that at an animal shelter, there will be no puppies for adoption. And I want a puppy so my son and the puppy have a better chance of bonding. Here are my questions: 1) Do animal shelters have puppies for adoption or just older dogs? 2) Does the age of the dog even make a difference in whether or not the dog and my son will bond? Thanks!

A. Bless your heart for considering adoption! Animal Shelters have ALL types of dogs and ages. 25% are purebreds. I would not go with a puppy for your 4 year old. Puppies bite, chew and need to be housebroken. Your first concern is your son's safety. I would go with a more mature dog that has been raised around kids and likes them. Older dogs bond well, if not better with children. The added benefit is; they're already housebroken, usually know commands, won't destroy your home and can be trusted around your child. Tell the shelter exactly what you're looking for. Many times these dogs end up in the shelter because their owners can't afford to take care of them anymore because of the lousy economy (here in Michigan anyway). A rescue or… [cont.]

How could I start an orphanage/adoption agency in a foreign country?
Q. I have been thinking that it would be great to start an orphanage/adoption agency in a foreign country that has a lot of orphans and kids living on the streets. I was thinking about China. I know that a lot of people adopt children from there. I was just curious about what financial and political steps that I would have to go through to do something like this.

A. Kazi made great points. bottom line is that you have LOTS of homework to do. first step will be to select a country...and then start reading. rules will be different in each country (obviously you'll have to know the law from both U.S. and that country for a start). I would suggest interviewing directors of agencies already working in that country. they can quickly coach you on the cities to stay away from or to focus on areas that still need help. good luck and be patient. there is much to learn and some countries (i.e. Russia) change their adoption policies and rules very often.
