Gifts That Give Back: 4 Perfect Presents for Pets
They're our loyal companions 365 days a year, so why bypass them when the holidays roll around? We've rounded up a quartet of gifts perfect for our favorite four-legged friends... and the sweetest part is, they all give something back to the animal kingdom.
BarkBox
Keep Fido happy all year long with this monthly subscription package, sending out a handpicked selection of high quality dog products --from toys and innovative gadgets to gourmet treats, bones, hygiene products and essentials -- once a month for as little as $17 per box. 10% from each one goes directly to rescue groups.
SocialPakt
With adorable categories like "woof," "meow," "chirp," "nibble" and "scratch," this apparel company donates $6 from every $20 t-shirt to the charity that corresponds with each design. Featured on E! News Daily, these shirts are sure to go fast, and they're cute as a button to boot. (And while they may be for humans, Sparky might look super cute in a small...)
Animal Rescue Site Shop
Anything you purchase from the Animal Rescue Site, a partner of PetFinder.com, provides at least 14 bowls of food to animals in need. Our favorite item: this sweet snowflake collar for $19. More of a sentimentalist? No problem; you can also make a direct donation to the site in honor of your own furry friend.
