Every year we compile a list of 12 different companies or products for the first 12 days of December, that also donate to animal charities. We’ve been doing this list for over 5 years now and every year we introduce a variety of new companies that offer so many great products that also help our furry friends. I love researching and finding these companies that also share the same values we have here, at Doggie Dreamz.
Day 1: To kick off our list, we chose Grounds and Hounds. We love this coffee company and they have some kick-ass apparel too. What’s even better than their dog-themed coffee; is that they donate a portion of their profits to animal welfare charities. And now through the end of 2021, 100% of the profits from Rescue Roast will go to The Sato Project and will be used to fund the transfer of homeless pups from Puerto Rico to families looking to give them a happy home.
Day 2: Glad Dog is an online marketplace that recycles unwanted children's stuffed toys and makes them into pet toys. They sanitize them, remove hard eyes and noses and they offer the toys at a discounted price. For some of the toys, they even remove the stuffing if your dog likes to tear it open. They then donate 100% of their profits to fund initiatives to help pet overpopulation, provide food and medical care for dogs.
Day 3: Bird Dog coffee offers a variety of coffee blends all featuring your favorite hunting dog. And they have a Boykin Spaniel Rescue Roast which they donate 10% of the proceeds go to the Boykin Spaniel Rescue. The Boykin Spaniel Rescue raises funds to help every Boykin Spaniel with the medical and emotional assistance they need and help in finding their forever homes.
Day 4: Furever Home Friends makes adorable books about shelter dogs and matching stuffed animals for any child who loves dogs. They also donate 10% of our profits to no-kill animal shelters in Chicago. Currently, their main beneficiary is ALIVE Rescue.
Day 5: Puppies make me happy; The perfect name for a company that is all about clothing the stylish dog mom. And they donate a portion of their sales to a new animal rescue every quarter.
Day 6: Shop Dog Threads; is another clothing company that makes adorable matching outfits for you and your dog! 2% of all sales are donated to non-profit animal rescues to assist in their life-saving efforts. They choose a new rescue organization every quarter and this quarter they are donating to Pet Haven MN.
Day 7: Petit Vour, which is an ethical beauty and fashion company. Through the end of December 2021, they are donating 15% of every curated box to Austin Dog Rescue when you use code DONATE15.
Day 8: Wicks for Wags, makes candles, and donates a portion of the proceeds to animal shelters and rescue groups around the United States to help and protect animals in need.
Day 9: Fit 4 a Pit, designs apparel for dogs with a stocky upper body, which is characteristic of the pitbull breed and harder to find at other retailers. They also donate at least 15% of their profits each month to pit bull-friendly rescues, advocacy groups, and other non-profits. They also donate all of their sample products, overstock, and irregular items.
Day 10: Rescued Dog Wines are a great company that makes award-winning wines that use certified green sustainable grapes. The best part is that 50% of their profits go to animal rescue organizations. As their website says "their business is producing fine wine and their passion is to help animals find forever homes."
Day 11: Heartbarks make beautiful custom cutting boards. And with every purchase, they directly donate funds to a rescue in need. Currently, the animal rescue they are donating to is Lucky Dog in Arlington Virginia. Lucky Dog Rescue routinely rescues dogs who are facing imminent euthanasia due to overcrowded high-kill shelters. They transport these dogs to adoptive and foster homes across the US.
Day 12: Perkie Prints; We adore this company. They have excellent customer service and the quality of their products is top-notch. They take cute photos of your pet and transform them into art! And they donate a portion of every purchase to animal charities. They currently are donating to D.A.S.H, a local no-kill, volunteer-run organization that rescues and rehomes animals in need. Perkie Prints helps sponsor animals rescued by D.A.S.H. to raise awareness, support adoption and spread the word about a pet in need of a home.
We hope you have enjoyed our gift-giving guide, and that your 2021 holiday season is filled with love and belly rubs!!
