gayle, a friend of mine who is very involved in animal welfare and very active in a large humane society told me that because many shelters are advertising as no-kill, people are making their donations to those instead of the other shelters. as a consequence, the not no-kill shelters are having fewer/lower donations and are having to euthanise more than they used to.
i base my donations on how much of the donated money goes to the animals or whether the majority of it goes to pay the people who run it. believe it or not, there actually are places where EVERYONE donates their time and no one is paid. 'north shore animal league/ comes to mind immediately.i have 9 rescued dogs, one rescued cat, and a feral cat colony i maintain......so all my 'donations' now go to the vet or 'science diet'.
