Donating Used Cameras to Help Pets

By , About.com GuideOctober 22, 2009

Follow me on:

Teaching Fido to fetch old cameras might not be a great idea -- something about electronics equipment and dog drool not co-existing well -- but your old cameras can still help Fido.

The STICKS Web site is asking people to donate their old digital cameras. The non-profit organization then will give those cameras to pet shelters around the United States, allowing them to shoot photos of animals up for adoption, placing the photos on various pet adoption Web sites.

STICKS, short for Supplying Technology In County Kill Shelters, is asking for donations because many shelters don't have the funding to purchase digital cameras. The organization asks that the cameras be only "gently used" and be in working order. Visit the Web site for more information on how you can make a donation of equipment or cash.

We get or quote for many totally-working digital cameras, but with poor resale value. In other words, we can’t move them in our used camera department. Some are older and of lower-megapixel-count — but useful and in good shape.

In the future we will refer or forward these to STICKS, as a pet is lovable in any resolution :)
