When Julia Pennington and Allison Lange formed the benefit corporation, Animal Spirits, they also created the Animal Spirits Foundation as a separate non-profit entity. A percentage of the funds raised through the sale of Animal Spirits’ products is donated to the Animal Spirits Foundation to help support rescue groups, sanctuaries and individuals needing help with their animal companion through financial grants. Through these grants our goal is for the Animal Spirits Foundation to help these animal caretakers be able to focus on what’s most important, caring for the animals in their lives.
ASF donates to local animal rescues’ to support their rescue efforts and free spay/neuter programs. The ASF also provides grants for emergency vet care for rescue groups and individual animal care-takers. Pet Food Assistance Program: When the COVID 19 crisis hit, ASF established a Pet Food Assistance program to give support to pet owners during these uncertain times. With so many people out of work during shutdowns, Julia and Alli wanted to alleviate a little stress for those who have pets to feed during this time and who do not have another means of support. With this program, we purchase the food already being fed so not to upset the animals' systems and buy from local "Mom and Pop" pet supply stores to support the community as much as possible. So far we've purchased 6,000+ meals for animals in need through this program.
We consider the animal rescue community to be a part of the Hera family, and we are extremely honored to be supporting a number of wonderful organizations that work tirelessly ever day to help animals. When you purchase a bottle of Hera The Dog Vodka, a cocktail kit, or order a Hera cocktail at one of the restaurants or bars that carry her, you are helping these rescues save lives.
