10 Companies That Donate to Animal Welfare Groups
Concern for animal welfare and well-being has been in existence since at least 10,000 years ago. Our appreciation and respect for animals has led to their domestication, welfare, and infiltration of wellness programs. Some popular programs that companies donate to are ASPCA, American Humane Society, and countless other animal rescue shelters and welfare organizations throughout the United States, ensuring the safety and well-being of all animals.

There are so many names out there: names that make sense, like Charlie, and then there are names that are completely bizarre, like Caramel Mocha Frappe. However, we usually name our pets according to their appearance and personality. Or then we name our pets according to our interests, like Chewbacca from our beloved Star Wars. There's an endless list of all the names you can give to your adorable pet. But while the list is endless, people, for some reason, choose the most cliché of pet names you can possibly give.
