Hello, friends!
Can you believe we're already almost halfway through the year? With summer just days away, we at Team MUTTS are spending more of our spare time enjoying the great outdoors and reflecting on the beauty of the world around us.
This one, beautiful planet of ours (and the animals and people who inhabit it) are in need of protecting. Which is why we are proud members of 1% for the Planet, a global network of businesses, individuals, and nonprofits tackling our planet's most pressing environmental issues.
As members, we commit at least 1% of annual revenues to partner charities working to ensure our planet and future generations thrive — in addition to the shelter and rescue organizations we already support. We’re proud of our contributions (and strive to continually do more) but we know these accomplishments wouldn’t be possible without your support. Read on to learn more about the incredible organizations we help to support through 1% for the Planet.
Delivering on the vision of founder Dr. Jane Goodall, JGI is the leading science-driven organization advancing understanding and protection of chimpanzees, global wildlife, and their habitats, creating a better world for people, other animals, and the planet we share.
Project V.E.T.S. collects veterinary equipment, technology, and supplies, and distributes those items to 100+ animal welfare partners in 38 countries around the world. This program serves animals ranging from dogs and cats to elephants and pangolins, and prevents up to six tons of usable, lifesaving items from ending up in landfills each year.
Mercy for Animals is a leading international nonprofit working to end industrial animal agriculture by constructing a just and sustainable food system. Active in Brazil, Canada, India, Mexico, and the United States, the organization has conducted more than 80 investigations of factory farms and slaughterhouses, moved more than 300 food companies to adopt animal welfare policies, and helped pass historic legislation to ban cages for farmed animals.
Greater Good Charities is an international nonprofit that works to Amplify the Good around the world, helping people, pets, and the planet by mobilizing in response to need.
In addition to supporting Greater Good Charities through 1% for the Planet, we recently teamed up with them to send much-needed pet bowls to Ukrainian refugees and their furry family members. We enabled a pop-up on our website checkout page that will ask you to donate a stainless steel bowl, and we'll cover the rest of the cost to get them into the hands (and paws) of those who need them most. There are just a few more days to support this initiative before the next shipment makes its way overseas — head to the Shop and add a bowl (or a few) at checkout!
Thank you for your continued support of our team and the causes that are important to us. We couldn't do this without you!
Hugs and wags,
Team MUTTS
