I totally agree with you Belinda....I'm not much on Pasado either if you have money amazing how fast they jump to your corner! Really have no use for them either.

I personally don't trust groups that don't get back to you with a real message.  I'll tell you a story that will upset some, but it's true because it happened to me.  Everybody loves Best Friends, but I have reservatins about them.  I wrote to them three about an urgent situation passed on to me from another group.  I aksed if they knew of any group that dealt with the particular situation that was going on.  I had always heard how great Best Friends was about helping at the very least with references to other groups that may be in a better position to help if they themselves couldn't.  I waited and waited for a reply ... nothing.  I even asked them to please let me know if they didn't have nay help so I would atleast know they had received my messages ... nothing.

So I decided to do a test for my own curiosity, I wrote to them a 4th time, this time saying that I had recently inherited a substantial amount of money and wanted to make a donation, and asked them how I would go about it, well lo and behold got a reply THAT VERY DAY!!!  Incidentally I did write and tell them exactly what I had done (the three emails and then the fourth concerning money), surprisingly I  never heard another thing from them, no explanation, no "we're sorry we must not have gotten the previous emails", nothing.  I do not trust this group because that little test tells me money talks and is in my opinion is their first priority.

I find it very hard to believe that out of 4 emails within a two week time period the ONLY one I got a response to was the one saying I wanted to give them money, I truly pray it is a coincidence but I really can't see how it was.  I'm not saying they don't do alot of good, but they will never get a dime from me.

I also had a similar experience with Pasados' Safe Haven a local rescue, I wouldn't never donate to them either.  I'm starting to think the bigger and more well known a rescue gets, the more money is the most important driving factor and the animals start to become a lesser priority.
