My $200 donation to a local animal shelter last year still makes me wonder

I gave the money to the Happy Paws shelter in my town, thinking it would help a lot. But then I saw a post online about how much of their cash goes to admin costs (like, over 40 percent). It saved me from feeling good about it, but also burned me because now I overthink every charity gift. How do you pick where to give money without getting stuck on the details?

Wait, over forty percent goes to admin costs?

My aunt once gave to a group that turned out to be a front for a timeshare scheme.
