Vodka With A Cause

After 17+ years in animal rescue, including running A Dog’s Life Rescue in Los Angeles, we have experienced firsthand the struggle of raising funds while also being out in the field rescuing animals most days and nights. There just is not enough time to do both well.  We have witnessed several other rescue organizations we greatly admire struggle as well with this balancing act.  So we stuck our heels in the ground to figure out a more sustainable way to raise funds for animals in need and to help these driven, boots on the ground rescue organizations.  We came up with some crazy ideas!  We don’t need to get into those though because thankfully, Julia’s family owns a well-respected distillery in Nashville, TN called Pennington Distilling Co. and one day, about 5 years ago, when Julia was speaking to her brother about our goal, the idea to marry vodka and animal rescue was born.

Completely energized we got busy right away, and after two years of research and development, design, planning, perfecting our recipe, cutting through red tape, more design, more perfecting, more red tape… our first batch of Hera The Dog Vodka was produced in October 2018. That first batch then arrived in Los Angeles early December, for our official launch.

We know that it might seem a little crazy, two female animal rescuers jumping into the alcohol industry, and that maybe we seem like “the little vodka who could”, but we feel more like “the little vodka that will” because we know that when people join together, a difference can be made.  And this is such an easy way to make that difference!  When you pour Hera we pour help into our communities.  A win-win.

 

Thank you for visiting our site to learn more about Hera The Dog Vodka and our mission.  We hope you will join us on this Hera adventure where social life meets social good. 

 

To all the animal spirits of our past and to those in our future.  Cheers!
