Charities to support great apes
We tried to find charities that are creditable according to Charity Navigator and specifically work with orangutans.
We're putting the spotlight back on the animals who bring the clawed, pawed, feathered, and furred characters we love to life. We learn about the animals' lives and the movie magic behind their acting. Then we review the movie or TV show and its animal actors, dive into a surprise scenario, and answer the important questions, like: "If you had to choose one animal actor to adopt, one to send to a no kill shelter, and one to taxidermy...?"
🐾 Three pets, one quest, and a load of of laughs, tears, and cattitude. We rediscover our love and find new appreciation for Homeward Bound (1993) and its furry stars: Ben the dog, Tiki the cat, Sure Grip Rattler the dog.
