How to Donate

Every Purchase Makes a Difference

At Barknod, we believe in the power of giving back. For every purchase you make, a portion goes to support local animal shelters and rescue organizations. By shopping with us, you're helping to provide food, shelter, and medical care for animals in need.

Making an Impact

We are committed to making a tangible impact on the lives of animals. Our donations help ensure that homeless pets receive the care they need and that more animals find loving homes. We regularly update our community on the difference your purchases are making, so you can see the positive impact you're helping to create.

1 Order = 1 Meal

Inspired by the impact of giving, we have committed to providing one meal to a shelter animal for every product sold. This initiative helps ensure that homeless pets receive the nutrition they need to thrive while waiting for their forever homes. Through partnerships with local shelters, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of animals in need.

Why We Give

The reality of animal homelessness and neglect is staggering:

Over 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters every year. This includes approximately 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats.
Approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year. Despite the best efforts of shelters and rescue organizations, the sheer number of homeless pets often overwhelms available resources.
An estimated 70 million stray animals live in the United States. Many of these animals suffer from malnutrition, disease, and lack of basic care.

These figures highlight a critical need for sustained support and intervention. Our mission at Paws & Whiskers is to be part of the solution by ensuring that no animal in a shelter goes hungry.

The Impact of Our Giving

By providing meals to shelter animals, we aim to:

Fight Malnutrition: Proper nutrition is essential for the health and well-being of animals, helping them to recover from trauma, resist disease, and thrive while awaiting adoption.
Enhance Adoption Rates: Healthy, well-nourished animals are more likely to be adopted. Providing consistent meals helps improve their physical condition and overall demeanor, making them more appealing to potential adopters.
Support Shelter Operations: Our meal donations alleviate some of the financial burden on shelters, allowing them to allocate resources to other critical areas such as medical care, spaying and neutering, and behavioral training.

How We Give

We partner with several reputable animal welfare organizations to distribute the meals and support provided through your purchases. These collaborations ensure that our contributions are used effectively to benefit animals in shelters and rescues.

In our community, we support shelters that provide temporary homes and medical care for abandoned and stray animals. Our donations help feed these animals and support their journey to finding loving families.

Rescue Organizations
