Gifts for the Fairer Sex – Buying for an Animal Lover

By: Sarah

Picture this: Its Christmas morning. You, your girl, her dog, her cat, and perhaps her potbellied pig are all gathered around the Christmas tree eagerly awaiting the wrapping paper to come flying off of the package your beloved holds in her hands. Fido has his ears perked because he knows this one is for him! As your girl slides her finger under the side flap of the wrapping and pulls the tension mounts. The paper is coming off faster now,.Fido is whining,what could it be?!? A dog snuggie, WOW! You shouldn’t have! Really.

Now imagine the same scenario but instead of a package a small envelope with a bow on it is being opened. As your girl pulls the enclosed card out and reads it a smile spreads across her face. She reads out loud about the donation that has been made in her name (or perhaps her pets or a past pets name) to Dogs for the Deaf, a rescue organization that trains shelter dogs and places them with the deaf and disabled. Or maybe there is a small package to unwrap, and inside it contains a small stuffed animal representation of the wildlife that your donation in her name is helping to conserve. Or she may have even opened a gift bag containing a “Paws & Hearts” pleated hobo bag purchased from The Animal Rescue Site. The purchase of the bag funded 28 bowls of food for hungry animals at shelters.

Just by searching “gifts for animal lovers” on the web you can find a plethora of great items that not only make a heartfelt gift but benefit our friends in the animal world that quite often need our help because of our neglect. So before you consider buying that snuggie for dogs check out some of these sites and purchase a gift that will make your girl feel good, will make you feel good, and will make a difference for an animal in need:
