Explanation:

To determine the primary audience, we analyze each option:

• The second option about keeping strays off streets and preventing illness is more about the shelter's function, not the audience's care for animals.
• The third option about donating time is not related to showing the audience cares about animals.
• The fourth option, stating that donating makes readers a “hero in an animal’s life”, appeals to those who care about animals as it connects their donation to positively impacting animals' lives.
