The ASPCA is known for fighting animal homelessness and cruelty. This holiday season, you can help too, with holiday shopping and contests!

If you’re like me, your holiday shopping is probably in full swing right now! Luckily, the ASPCA is making holiday gift-buying easy this year, collaborating with several vendors for some amazing gifts that give back to their cause. I don’t know a single jewelry wearer who doesn’t love Alex and Ani and the purchase of their Prints of Love Charm Bracelets will give 20% of proceeds back to the ASPCA (and make an awesome gift in the process!).

The ASPCA has also added some celebrity flair this holiday season with a fun photo contest called Home For The Holidays. Instagram Pup Royal Marnie the Dog is celebrating rescued pets and asking those who have rescued pets to share pictures of them as they celebrate the holiday season. A grand prize winner will be chosen and that winner’s favorite shelter will receive $500! So go out and share those shots!
