Furry Friends Rescue Has Been Named the February 2011 Beneficiary for Rescue Chocolate
New York, NY, February 02, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Furry Friends Rescue in Freemont, California has been named the February 2011 beneficiary for Rescue Chocolate, the vegan chocolate company which donates 100% of its profits to animal rescue organizations. A different non-profit group is picked each month to receive the company’s largesse.
Furry Friends Rescue (FFR) has saved more than 11,000 animals since its founding in November 1998. It has also assisted more than 6,000 pet owners to find new homes for their pets, and it works with more than 21 animal shelters in the Bay Area.
In addition, FFR’s Purple Heart Miracle Club is dedicated to helping sick, abused, or injured animals who wouldn’t stand a chance at most shelters because of the prohibitive costs for their veterinary care.
Plans are in the works to build a multi-acre animal sanctuary so that FFR can expand its services even further. And volunteers are always welcomed to help with adoption events, counseling, and foster homes for dogs and cats.
“They’re providing so many vital services at FFR that I’m really gratified to be able to contribute in my own way,” said Rescue Chocolate founder Sarah Gross. “I’m based in New York, and so it would be a little hard for me to volunteer my time. But I encourage others to do so.”
Previous monthly beneficiaries of Rescue Chocolate have included United Animal Nations, the No-Kill Advocacy Center, Farm Sanctuary, and In Defense of Animals.
The company offers a product line of kosher and vegan chocolate bars and truffles. Products are handcrafted at a small factory in Brooklyn and packaged in eco-friendly materials. Each flavor is named after an issue important in the animal rescue world. For example, there are bars called Peanut Butter Pit Bull, Pick Me! Pepper, Foster-iffic Peppermint, The Fix, and Mission Feral Fig.
Rescue Chocolate was founded in January 2010. Products are sold in retail outlets around the country as well as online (www.RescueChocolate.com).
