The holiday season is upon us! The holidays are a time for celebrating, family gatherings, and gift-giving. They are also a time to show your compassion for animals. 

Always celebrate and shop humanely and with compassion for animals in mind. Make choices in gift-giving and in celebrating that are GOOD for animals and the environment. Choose only cruelty-free products or products that are not made from animals and animal parts. Buy vegan products and food that does not cause suffering and death to animals--needlessly. And don't forget your fur family by honoring them this season with gifts that show them you care.

Support retailers and designers that are fur-free. Animal fur is becoming a cliche of the past. Buy only cosmetic and beauty products that DO NOT test on animals, be sure to check the label. VIsit LeapingBunny.com or checkout our lists below. 

Never support stores that sell animals. If you plan to add to your fur family, always support a local rescue organization, city or county shelter, and ADOPT - you will save a life and give an animal a second chance. 

These everyday choices and decisions will have a huge impact on animals and will underscore your kindness and compassion this holiday. Here are many more ideas for helping animals this holiday season!

And happy holidays!
