You know you’ll be shopping anyway
Odds are you’re going to do some type of holiday shopping this year, so you might as well help out homeless animals while you’re doing it.
The charity Bring Pets Home has partnered with more than 140 retailers – yes, more than 140! – to help you maximize your holiday cheer. How? Go to www.bringpetshome.org when you do your online shopping this holiday season. Find the retailer you want. When you click on that store through Bring Pets Home, a part of your sale will be given back to the organization, which benefits shelter pets nationwide. (The percent varies by retailer. For example, Walmart gives back 4 percent. iTunes gives 5 percent. Some places even give up to 10 percent.)
So, this Christmas considering combining three fantastic things: shopping, the holidays and helping animals.
