The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), started in 1866, was the first humane organization in the United States. The purpose of the ASPCA is to ""to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States." Through education, awareness, and legislative programs its 750,000 members have helped in the prevention of animal cruelty.

It's very easy to find ASPCA logo-themed items. Not only are they attractive, but you can also feel good about yourself knowing that for every product you buy with an ASPCA logo, 6% of the retail price goes towards one of its humane programs. Even personal checks now contain images from ASPCA.

Profits from sales of these items benefits such programs as an animal hospital, an adoption facility, and the Humane Law Enforcement Department, which is located in New York City. The ASPCA even has a poison control hotline for animals.

One of the reasons that the ASPCA is so popular is that they prevent animal cruelty primarily to animals that function as pets. Many dog and cat lovers appreciate this, as pets can become part of your family and you want to protect them.

When trying to decide on what image to use for your ASPCA checks, you don't have to worry about either being a cat or dog person. There are checks available with both animals on them. You can also find different breeds of dogs available as images. One of the cutest checks has a picture of three little puppies posing together in a stack of hay.

The fun thing about ASPCA checks is that they also come with matching accessories. While you enjoy your personal bank checks, you can also enjoy matching address labels and even a coordinating canvas checkbook cover.

While the personal checks feature images of dogs or cats, you may find checkbook covers that have little paw prints walking steadfastly over the cover. You can find the color orange featured on the checkbook covers since orange is the ASPCA's official color.

Aside from single checks, you can also order duplicate checks. If you're the type of person that forgets to record your transactions then duplicate checks can be good because they keep a copy of the checks that have been written right there in the checkbook.

Aside from the checks being stylish than plain white checks, you can also order them feeling good about yourself since you know that the proceeds will benefit animals.

Personal bank checks with stylish images can be expensive when you order them from your local bank. However, by ordering checks online you can save around 50% of the total cost. You can also expect to have them delivered in about 5 days, which can even be faster than your bank can get them to you.
