When you purchase items from the iHeartDogs store, you’re not just buying products; you’re contributing to a larger mission of helping animals in need. A portion of the profits from each sale goes to Greater Good Charities, an organization dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of animals through its GOODS Program. This initiative channels funds into providing essential supplies such as healthy meals and other necessities to shelters and rescues across the country. The impact of these donations is profound, giving countless dogs a better quality of life and a second chance at happiness.

The Role of the GOODS Program
The GOODS Program, run by Greater Good Charities, is a crucial lifeline for animal shelters and rescue organizations. By donating food, toys, and other supplies, the program helps these organizations reduce their operating costs and redirect their resources toward other critical needs, such as medical care. For many shelters, these donations mean the difference between being able to care for more animals or having to turn them away. The program’s support enables these organizations to provide a higher standard of care and improve the overall well-being of the animals they house.

A Lifeline for Pet Project for Pets
Pet Project for Pets in Wilton Manors, FL, exemplifies how these donations make a difference on the ground. This organization is dedicated to collecting and distributing dog food and other supplies to animal organizations in need. A significant portion of their food donations comes from the GOODS Program, allowing them to extend their support to a broader network of homeless pets. One notable beneficiary of this generosity was Augie, a dog whose life was transformed by the donations from the GOODS Program.
Augie’s story is a testament to the positive impact of these donations. When a rescue group found themselves unable to accommodate Augie due to a lack of space, a volunteer from Pet Project agreed to foster him temporarily. During this period, Augie benefited from the ample supply of food and toys provided by the GOODS Program. These resources not only improved his physical well-being but also made his time in foster care more comfortable and enriching.
A Better Life for Augie
Augie’s journey didn’t end with his time in foster care. His foster mom quickly fell in love with him, leading to what is affectionately termed a “foster fail.” In reality, adopting a foster dog is a success story, providing the dog with a permanent, loving home. Despite being around 7 or 8 years old, Augie exhibits the energy and affection of a much younger dog. His new family ensures he enjoys a great life filled with love and attention. Volunteers at Pet Project continue to spoil Augie whenever he visits, demonstrating the ongoing impact of their work.
The support from the GOODS Program has allowed Pet Project for Pets to offer more than just food and toys. It has helped them to provide comprehensive care and support to more animals in need. By alleviating the financial burden associated with supplying essential items, the program enables shelters and rescues to concentrate on other critical aspects of animal care, such as medical treatments and behavioral training.
