“You will find, as you look back on your life, that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others.”
–Henry Drummond
Because dogs play such important roles in our lives, we donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our wines to dog-related charities. Our primary goal is to support canine service organizations and groups dedicated to dog rescue. Our partners include:
Canine Companions for Independence
Canine Companions for Independence is a national non-profit organization that enhances the lives of children and adults with disabilities by providing highly-trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. The organization is based in Santa Rosa, CA, with regional offices throughout the United States. More information is available at www.cci.org
Morris Animal Foundation
Morris Animal Foundation is a non-profit corporation whose purpose is to improve the health and well-being of companion animals and wildlife by funding humane health studies and disseminating information about these studies. More information is available at www.morrisanimalfoundation.org.
The Alie Foundation
Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado the Alie Foundation provides Bloodhounds to law enforcement agencies and educates both parents and children about the dangers of child abduction. Since its founding in 1993, the non-profit organization has placed Bloodhounds in police K-9 Units in forty states. More information about the Alie Foundation is available at www.alie.org.
Colorado Greyhound Adoption
Colorado Greyhound Adoption is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to finding permanent loving homes for and promoting the adoption and welfare of retired racing greyhounds as excellent family pets. www.coloradogreyhoundadoption.org.
Long before Cru Vin Dogs was founded, our partners were active in supporting local charities. In one of our previous lives—with Grand Vin Ltd.—we would select a worthy cause to support each Christmas. One donation in particular sticks out and in many ways, it was part of what inspired Cru Vin Dogs. We’ll let Bill Foss’s son Jeff tell you about it.
