Coffee With a Cause: Mission Driven Pet Brands

Our mornings wouldn't be complete around here without a cup of coffee. Just the smell of coffee beans grinding perks up our noses and instantly lifts our mood. But if you think the perfect breakfast pairing is a sweet donut (we hear you), in this rare case you would be wrong! Instead of coffee + donuts, how about coffee + puppies? You heard us! We are obsessed with these awesome companies that are not only making delicious, life giving, coffee - but they are helping fund dogs in need.

Check out our favourite coffee companies with charitable goals:

1. Rescue Coffee Co.

Sip A Cup. Save A Pup. It's that simple. Their blends are fair-trade organically grown coffee, roasted right in the Maritimes. With every bag you purchase 10% of proceeds go to partnering animal shelters.

2. Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co.

With the motto, "every pound, saves a hound" it's hard not to get behind the wonderful people at Grounds & Hounds. Their organic, specialty coffees support no kill rescue organizations providing safe-havens for pups between homes. Grounds & Hounds donates 20% of proceeds to their rescue partners.

3. Curly Tail Coffee

Curly Tail Coffee is one that is near and dear to our hearts. $1 from every bag of their coffee sold goes to help pug and pig rescues. We'll take a curly tail and cup of coffee any day!

4. I Heart Dogs - Coffee For a Cause

Every bag of I Heart Dogs coffee feeds 25 shelter dogs - need we say more! With every sip you will be feeding a dog in need.
