A 40 year old man received $36,720 from Best Friends to take care of 28 dogs who survived Hurricane Katrina. He owned a kennel and advertised being a dog trainer. He was given the money to take care of the dogs until they were adopted. Out of the 28 dogs, he brought 25 of them to a shelter to be killed. Three dogs were adopted.
Lorain County Common Pleas Court Judge James Miraldi ordered Donald Chambers to pay a $1,000 fine and $62,124 in restitution to the Best Friends Animal Society in Utah.
Before imposing his sentence, Miraldi told Chambers, "Your involvement in this process goes way beyond bad business. You went through the deceitful process of taking money and letting these dogs die. I think you have some sociopathic tendencies to behave the way you did."
No one from the family of Donald Chambers wanted to comment about the case.

My Newest Favorite Show:Dogtown
My newest favorite show is Dogtown. Dogtown is a show done through Best Friends in Kanab, Utah. Best Friends is one of the largest, if not the largest, no kill shelter in the United States. Dogtown gives the stories of dog who have been given up on by everyone else--but Best Friends.
I frequently watch the show and tear up because it is so touching.
So, grab your box of tissues and settle in to watch the brave dogs on Dogtown.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) CEO makes $393,541 a year. What do you think??
I saw a post online that showed how much the CEO of the ASPCA made per year and I was shocked. It got me curious to see how much the other CEOs made.
The compensations listed below were found on Charity Navigator.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) CEO makes $31,923
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) CEO makes $393,541
The Nature Conservancy CEO makes $377,804
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) CEO makes $203,231
Best Friends Animal Society CEO makes $54,083
In 2006, Philip L. Francis (PetSmart) raked in $4,054,032 in total compensation according to the SEC.

In 2006, H. Lee Scott (WalMart) raked in $29,672,533 in total compensation according to the SEC.

I am surprised at some of these organizations, being NON PROFITS, compensating their CEOs with such a high amount of money. I am especially surprised by the ASPCA. This organization is the only one that I truly trust and now...I don't. I believe anything over $60,000 or $70,000 is too much for a non profit CEO to make. They went into this knowing they would not make as much as the two last CEOs I listed, from PetSmart and WalMart.
Also, as a non profit, they are helping animals who are less fortunate and need help. How could you take that much money when animals need homes and medical care. Just making 100,000 less (which is more than what most American's salaries) could feed many, many animals and provide for their care.
A non profit is just that, a NON profit.
This definition below is from StateLawyers.com:
Nonprofit corporations, despite the name, can make a profit, but the business cannot be designed primarily for profit-making purposes, and the profits must be used for the benefit of the organization or purpose the corporation was created to help.
