The only way I can think of is to check with the Better Business Bureau. Just go to bbb.org and check on a business. If they are not listed, you can have them check them out for you.
I know what you mean about handing money over. Especially on the computer. You never know who is on the other end!
I usually only donate to organizations that I am familiar with. Being that I got Maddie from FBR, I feel pretty comfortable with donating to that rescue. Although, I really never know where my money is going. I guess that is where the trust issue comes in.
Other than that rescue, I really only contribute to a couple of national organizations. Of course, when I go to petco or petsmart and see the people from the adoption agencies sitting out front with their animals and their jars, I always have to put a little something in their jars. :wink:
