It’s Give to the Max Day in Minnesota – the biggest nonprofit giving day of the year. If you’d like to make a meaningful contribution while supporting the Ruff Start Rescue mission, consider doing your holiday shopping at the Ruff Start Store. Every purchase helps us rescue, heal, and rehome animals in need.
Here are some gift ideas for the animal lovers in your life:
1. Shirts & Sweatshirts
Cozy styles in fun colors with sayings like “Easily distracted by cats” and “Tell your dog I said hey.”
2. Baby & Youth Apparel
Nothing’s cuter than a onesie that says “Born to rescue.”
3. Accessories
Mugs, calendars, and trucker hats – perfect stocking stuffers!
4. Pet Accessories
Toys and treats for the furry friends on your list.
5. Gift Cards
We don’t recommend giving pets as presents, but a gift card is a thoughtful option for someone considering adoption or shopping for Ruff Start swag and pet gear.
5. Animal Care Fund Donation
Give the gift of health. Your donation supports veterinary care for animals in need, and is sure to bring on the purrs. Any amount makes a difference.
Your generosity ensures we can continue our critical work to rescue stray, neglected,
abandoned, and surrendered animals in need, getting them healthy, and placing them in loving homes.
