The website I found that accepts donations from the public was specifically set up for the lives of cats and dogs in central Pennsylvania. Centre Country PAWS was committed to finding homes for cats and dogs for almost 40 years. The website persuades the public through several logical appeals to make the donation more necessary and reasonable.

First and foremost, the website states its identity as a non-euthanasia, member-supported, volunteer enabled organization. It creates a sense of trust for its further persuasion. Then, the website mentioned that the donation is to make a difference in lived and could be easily achieved by individuals. This logical transition successfully includes the audience as a part of the discussion and movement the organization is trying to emphasize.

Secondly, the website includes detailed information about the upcoming events. It uses another way to express the idea of the institution was to involve the community in the program to help animals surround us. With the least amount of emphasizing on money donation, it successfully attracts the audience attention by the interesting activities.

Last but not the least, I find it interesting on its donation page. The website mention that the donation is tax deductible. From what I know, most of the donations made are tax deductible. However, it still feels more logically acceptable to donate when the organization tells you no extra money will be charged for your donation. Then, the page continues to ask is this a one-time donation or a recurring monthly Donation. Personally, I saw this as a fallacy here from an economic perspective. Go to any skin care website, they would all include the recurring monthly option in a tiny box under your order. It just appears to be friendly when it is not that emphasized. At the last part of the donation page, it asked if the donation is in honor or in memory of a person or pet. I found this most appealing to the audience when they could have the option to put in donations for their special ones.

Overall, it was an appealing persuasion for the audience to donate and participate in this organization. They successfully build their argument for involvement through providing a trustworthy background, non-profitable characteristics, interesting activities, and clearly stated donation page.
