The Big Apple Pet Supply Give Back Program allows the customer to donate 5% of their order directly to non-profit 501(c)(3) no-kill animal shelters, rescue organizations, humane animal education programs and wildlife rehabilitation centers.

Steven Spitz, CEO of Big Apple Pet Supply says “During hard financial times non-profit animal organizations find themselves without funding. It is important more than ever to integrate business initiatives while at the same time doing good in the community.”

Tina Spitz, COO of Big Apple Pet Supply says “With our new Give Back Program, everyone feels good knowing that 5% of a customers purchase will support and sustain a philanthropic spirit in the animal community.”
