Giving Back
Passion for animals
Animals have always been my greatest passion. Ever since I was little, I’ve been fascinated by all kinds of creatures, from extinct species like my favorite dinosaur, the Utahraptor, to endangered animals today, like the Gharial. One very special animal in my life is my dog, Zara. We rescued her from our local animal shelter, and she’s played a huge role in shaping my love and understanding of animals.
Because of Zara, I’ve decided to donate a portion of my proceeds to support shelter pets, helping them find loving forever homes just like she did. My mission is to help as many animals in need as possible. In the future, I hope to expand this work to protect other species too, especially endangered animals around the world.
Every year, an estimated 2,000,000 homeless pets are euthanized.
Our goal: help bring awareness to support no-kill animal shelters so that more dogs like our dog Zara can be saved.
In 2020, we donated $20,000 to Pets in need like Zara.
We were humbled to be recognized by as “CNN Heroes” for giving back and raisng awareness for the no-kill movement. This could not have been possible without the amazing support from our customers. Many of you also share the same passion as my brother and I. Thank you for supporting responsible business owners that care not only about profits but also important social causes like this one.
We've committed to helping homeless animals, extending beyond Ornament Anchor’s monetary efforts. As Student Ambassadors for NSALA, we created a hands-on program that students participated in to raise awareness for shelter pets in need called “The Shelter Heroes Project”.
The Shelter Heroes Project a NSALA Student Ambassador Program
In 2022, as a student Ambassadors for North Shore Animal League America, we created the Shelter Heroes Project; a FREE school wide initiative to help bring awareness to pets in need and promote a positive school climate.
Our program started with a virtual assembly where kids follow us along on an adventure with Rocky, a pup in need who was rescued North Shore Animal League America; the largest no-kill animal shelter in the world. Kids learn what goes in to the rescue efforts and why it is important to rescue animals from no-kill shelters.
Then, each classroom worked together and participated in STEAM and SEL activities, while also making and collecting items for shelters in their local area.
