We're big balls of fluff when it comes to giving to good causes, so if your shelter or rescue organization is planning a fund-raising event, such as an auction or tricky tray, and you think a Pesky Pup Gourmet Gift Basket would be an appropriate donation, please contact us. We can't promise to honor every single request (we have to be able to put food in our own bowls, after all!) but we will consider each one and donate when we can.

In addition to basket donations, we also use a portion our profits to help support local shelters, rescue organizations, and national animal advocacy groups in their lifesaving work.

Some of the organizations to which we have donated in the past include:

	11th Hour Rescue
	New York State 4-H "Fun With Your Dog" Camp
	Mason County (WV) Animal Welfare League, Inc.
	Noah's Ark Animal Welfare Association
	St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center
	Labmed
	The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
	The Humane Society of the United States

Over the final three months of 2005 we donated 5% of the purchase price of every basket we sold to the ASPCA Disaster Relief Fund to aid in their ongoing effort to help the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. So if you bought a dog or cat gift basket from us in the final quarter of 2005 give yourself a big pat on the back!
