Preventing Animal Cruelty with Your Checks

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.

There is an abundance of products available with the ASPCA logo. Aside from being attractive, customers can feel good about purchasing them due to the fact that 6% of the retail price goes to one of their humane programs. You can even buy personal checks with the ASPCA logo and animal images on them.

An adoption facility and animal hospital are just some of the programs that benefit from the profits of these items. There is also a Humane Law Enforcement Department located in New York City. The ASPCA even offers a poison control hotline just for animals.

ASPCA works to protect animals that usually live as pets, such as dogs and cats. Since most pet owners want to protect their pets, and treat them as members of their family, they can appreciate the idea of preventing cruelty to them.

When trying to decide on what image to use for your ASPCA checks, you don't have to worry about either being a cat or dog person. There are checks available with both animals on them. You can also find different breeds of dogs available as images. One of the cutest checks has a picture of three little puppies posing together in a stack of hay.

You don't have to just settle for checks, either. ASPCA matching accessories can also be found to complement your checks. Coordinating canvas checkbook covers, address labels, and even stationary can be found for all of your mailing and check writing needs. The accessories also have a percentage of their profits go toward the ASPCA's programs.

Along with the dog and cat images that you have on your ASPCA personal checks, your checkbook cover might feature a set of paw prints marching across the cover. You can expect to find orange somewhere on the checkbook cover since orange is the ASPCA's official color.

You can also order duplicate checks with the ASPCA logo and animal images on them. If you haven't considered purchasing duplicate checks before, then you should. They leave behind a copy of the check that you have written so even if you forget to record the checks that you are writing you still have a record of them.

Plain white checks can be boring and uninteresting, but purchasing the ASPCA checks also give you the incentive of supporting a good cause.

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.
