Does anyone know much about HALO?  They are an animal rescue group out of Arizona but their website does not list any directors.  The United States Postal Service(because they are flush with money) has a stamp out now that is the Animal Rescue Adopt a Shelter Pet.  During the launch of the stamps Halo will be donating a million meals to animal shelters around the country.  It is not clear if the USPS is donating money or just printing the stamps.  In the past, the stamps that are issued for "say breast cancer" were marked up and the mark up was donated.

I wondered the same thing.    I know Ellen has something to do with HALO and the stamp launch.  She has also been affiliated with either PETA or HSUS, can't remember which.    I asked at our local PO about where the $$ would go and I was told that they are just to raise awareness and there is no money going anywhere - other than the cost of postage to the USPS.

Ellen is big into HSUS. She once auctioned clothes,worn on the show, to raise money for them. I know of a few people that e-mailed her, if it matters or not, to let her know about HSUS. Didn't seem to soak in as she just launched a comic book with proceeds to go to HSUS.
Guess they debuted on her show....

No mention of HSUS, and I have no problem with people raising money for actual animal shelters, just not the HSUS.
