Some companies, like Toms, donate shoes, while companies like Out of Print donate books to needy people around the world. But these 16 companies are special: they donate money, food, and their own products to shelters, rescues, and other dog-helping non-profits in the country.<\/p>\n

Amazon, Ikea, Vans, and Nestle Purina are just a few of dozens of companies who donate time, money, and products to help pets in need. Together, these companies make a difference in the lives of shelter pets by giving food and holding adoption events. Some are also known for their dog-friendly offices, like Ben & Jerry’s and Clif Bar.<\/p>\n
