Feeding Shelter Animals

In April 2015 we were looking for partners to contribute to for the first time since our inception. The program was simple, for every product we sold we would contribute a portion of the sale to a cause that helped animals. We weren't sure what or how, but we knew we wanted to do something, and so did our customers.

So we set out to connect with local charities and foundations in south Florida to find a partner. After speaking with several non-profit organizations one common factor was clear, they all needed quality food.

The Paw Squad

The birth of the Paw Squad came from a problem both ourselves and our customers felt. What's the impact of the portion of sales?

Was it a lot, did it even make a dent? We were donating thousands of pounds of food, sponsoring multiple adoption events, funding expensive training for guide dogs, and advocating for animal welfare. But what really was the impact? We knew what we were fiscally contributing, but what we didn't know what the real impact was. And that didn't feel right.

Thus the birth of the Paw Squad. A dedicated program with granular and dynamic goals that are precise and traceable.

Why crowdfunding?

In 2015 we were making large bulk donations that were static in nature. Today, we are going a step further with a better understanding of what our partners need and when they need it and distributing dynamic contributions based on what is needed.

Crowdfunding allows us to increase the size and length of the impact we make by creating a community with our customers, subscribers, and social followers. As an individual donor, your contribution is great but never really allows any momentum to build up allowing volunteers to get ahead.
