3 Ways To Help Animals (Even If You Can't Have A Pet)

When you buy any item from Jordan Karchers pooch-inspired coffee company, Grounds & Hounds, including its cheeky blends like Paper & Slippers and Morning Walk, part of the proceeds go to a shelter near you. In 2015, Grounds & Hounds donations helped partners provide blankets, food and services for an estimated 2,000 rescue pups. In 2004, Ann Sacks founded Fetch Eyewear, a Warby Parkeresque company that sells stylish frames at affordable prices. Three years later, she launched the Pixie Projecta nonprofit that offers free and low-cost veterinary care and rescues pets from overloaded shelters across the countryand 100 percent of Fetchs profits now benefit the charity. To date, the two organizations have facilitated more than 5,000 pet adoptions and about 1,000 surgeries, procedures and visits. Fur for the Animals, run by the animal advocacy group Born Free USA, is a campaign (open through December 31) that collects unwanted furs and donates them to wildlife rehabilitation centers. The fleeces are used by orphaned and injured creatures that need to feel cozy and comforted. More than 1,000 pounds of pelts have already made their way to sanctuaries throughout the U.S. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
