Just Buy It
You are Charmed I couldn't decide whether to put this one with Shopping or Other Fun, because it's a little of both. For a $5 donation to SOS, you can have this limited-edition charm sent to some deserving person or organization. So far, they've all been lovely and I'm sure any recipient would treasure both the charm and the thought. All proceeds go to SOS. Take a look.

Click Throughs and Affiliates
What is it? Many shelters have "click through" links--if you use their link to shop at a particular web site, they get a cut. This costs you nothing beyond what you were already spending. On other shopping web sites, affiliates, you need to actually type in the shelter name or code.
To benefit the Lakeroad Ferret Farm Rescue and Shelter , shop here. Includes Target, Petsmart, Eddie Bauer, Land's End, Hallmark Flowers, and more! Or here, through IGive. This link has many of the same stores plus what looks like a few others, and first time buyers get an extra $5 donated.

Ferret Rescue Society
The Ferret Store is about the best deal going. True, they just raised their minimum purchase for free shipping from $35 to $50. But they also just raised their Shelterbucks contribution. Here's how it works: You buy a gift certificate for the shelter of your choice, and they add $10 for every $25 certificate. On top of that, they give a wholesale discount to the shelter. Wait, there's more. If you buy through the link on the shelter page, the shelter gets a cash donation of 5% of whatever you spend. So lets say you used the link and bought $100 worth of shelter bucks--the shelter would get $140 in wholesale prices, plus another 5 bucks in cash.
