Celebrating the Organizations Dedicated to Saving Pets’ Lives

April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month -- a month dedicated to raising awareness of the issues facing animals, from dog fighting to puppy mills, and more. With this in mind, we at NetSuite.org, wanted to highlight and celebrate a handful of nonprofit organizations who go above and beyond to protect and save animals – not just in April, but 365 days a year. Luckily for us, they’ve also chosen to use NetSuite to help them run their programs-- whether that program be distributing microchips or making handmade dog leashes and donating part of the proceeds to rescue animals.
