Fox Fam, did you know that we donate 15% of all our profits to charities that focus on ending animal abuse? That means every time you buy Arctic Fox Hair Color you are helping animals all over the world! We love to volunteer with local organizations, but mainly focus on three charities in particular: Second Chance Animal Services, the Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare. We’ve featured these charities on our IG stories before - maybe you’ve seen some of the pics from our annual volunteer trip to Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation! Today is National Love Your Pet Day, so we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to let our Fox Fam know more about the charities you're helping us support. If you’ve ever wanted to know more, read on!
Second Chance is a no-kill, non-profit, award-winning shelter - but they’re much more than just a shelter! Based out of Massachusetts, Second Chance provides a wide variety of services to their local area: full-service vet care, community outreach, educational programs, training classes, and even pet food pantries! They have subsidized pricing options for their veterinary services to make sure everyone in their community is able to provide the best care possible for their pets, including spay/neuter services, vaccinations, and microchips. Their excellent work is evident in the many awards they’ve received, such as awards from Greatnonprofits.org, Adopt-A-Pet.com, and Guidestar.org. Combining aspects of a rescue, shelter, and veterinarian, Second Chance really does it all!
The Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation is a non-profit animal rescue that focuses primarily on abused animals and dogs caught in the Asian meat trade. Based out of the Los Angeles area, founder Marc Ching has been a champion for abused dogs both in LA and throughout China, where dogs are often purposely tortured before being butchered for their meat. He has personally made many trips to China to rescue dogs, bringing them to a safe haven to be treated, rehabilitated, and re-homed. In addition to this crucial work, AHWF operates Reportanimalabuse.org where concerned citizens can report cases of suspected animal abuse. They are also spearheading a canine microchip initiative in China after learning that 80% of dogs caught in the meat trade are stolen pets. We’re proud to support an organization doing such important work!
The International Fund for Animal Welfare is a global animal safety & conservation organization. IFAW has a very broad scope, with offices in 15 countries around the world working toward the betterment of all animals for 50 years! They operate a wide variety of programs, but maintain a special focus on influencing policy-making worldwide for the ethical improvement of the treatment of animals. Most of their operations have a concentration on animal rescue, education, political advocacy, wildlife crime prevention, and wildlife and marine conservation. Their employees and volunteers range from rescue workers, conservation specialists, and policy experts, to veterinarians, scientists, and educators. One of their most recent projects was a bill banning the ivory trade in the UK - we’re so excited that the measure passed in December, an amazing victory for the safety of elephants worldwide!
With your help, we’re getting a little bit closer to ending animal cruelty every day! We couldn’t do this without the love and support of all our Fox Fam, so on behalf of each of these organizations: Thank You!! If you share our dream of a world without animal cruelty, we hope you’ll help out your local charities and organizations. It can be as easy as donating blankets and as fun as walking dogs or playing with kittens! We’d love to learn about how you’re helping animals in your community, so let us know in the comments!
