Leader Dogs for the Blind

Founded by three Detroit-area Lions club members in 1939, Leader Dogs for the Blind empowers people who are blind, visually impaired or Deaf-Blind with skills for a lifetime of independent travel, opening doors that may seem to have closed with the loss of sight.

Leader Dog programs are crafted to address individual situations and adapt to our clients’ changing needs at any point in their lives. From youth camp to orientation and mobility cane training through guide dog training and GPS technology integration, Leader Dog’s programs give clients the confidence and skills they need to live independent lives.

To further support their initiatives, our Resolve patterned collars and leashes help create awareness of Leader Dogs life changing work. A percentage of proceeds goes back to support their work.

Morris Animal Foundation

The mission of Morris Animal Foundation is to bridge science and resources to advance the health of animals.

Morris Animal Foundation improves and protects the health of animals through scientific innovation, education and inspiration. Founded by a veterinarian in 1948, they continue to be a science-driven organization, funding critical health studies for the benefit of all animals. 20,000+ species benefit from their research. 

Diseases often aren’t species specific. When they help one animal, the new knowledge gained can have a ripple effect to help related species or entire ecosystems.

To support their mission, our Outreach patterned collars and leashes were designed to bring awareness to their organization. A percentage of each sale helps fund their research initiatives. 

Pets in the Classroom

Pets in the Classroom is a grant program that provides funding toward a small animal and pet supplies to pre-kindergarten through 9th grade teachers in both private and public schools. While classroom pets are a valuable teaching tool, they understand that many teachers have very limited resources for the support of classroom animals.  Through the program, teachers can get an initial grant to help with the cost of purchasing a small animal pet and its supplies, and then a sustaining grant each school year after to help with the continued cost of feeding and caring for the pet.
