#Donate2Hounds
Christmas In July is Back!
Time to #unleash the giving!
How Does #Donate2Hounds Work?
This program allows a rescue groupâs supporters, followers, and volunteers the opportunity to give back in a big way. The best part? When an individual purchases for a group through the #ChristmasInJuly program, 2 Hounds matches the donation PLUS one!
Hereâs how it works:
-
Your supporters can choose from Harness and training leash sets, nylon collars and leashes, or nylon collars only.
-
For every 3 items your supporters donate, we donate an additional 4âfor a total of 7!
-
For every 6 items your supporters donate, we donate an additional 7âfor a total of 13!
While Supplies Last!
Bonus Goodies
Weâre also including extra collars, leashes, and harnesses with orders through this program!
PLUS, every supporter/donor who orders through this program will receive a $15 gift certificate to use on a future 2 Hounds Design order.
For the Month of July
We MATCH your Donation plus an extra (*collar, collar/leash, or harness)!
$15 Gift Certificate for YOU (use on your next purchase or donate to your group to get MORE gear)!

Looking for ways to help Saving Grace from afar?? We use these awesome no-pull harnesses for our dogs which are great for leash training and discouraging pulling behaviors. #donate2hounds will match your donation (+1) when you donate them to Saving Grace!
These no-pull harnesses are crucial for our sleepover weekends and our hiking program and we wouldn't be able to send our pups out without them!

Thank you 2 Hounds Design!
I bought these for the ARK for Hartâs Youth Ambassador Program to walk our local shelter dogs at events.
For $125, they will send SEVEN harnesses AND leashes to your local shelter/rescue.
Sending dogs to their new homes in harnesses that are made to help them go on comfortable walks can significantly impact their success in keeping that forever home. #Donate2Hounds

We here at UU LOVE 2 Hounds Design Freedom No-Pull Harnesses. They opened up their #1stannualchristmasinjuly sale which allowed us to get 19 harnesses/leashes for the price of 7! We could NOT do dog rescue without these fabulous harnesses and are SO grateful that they are SO generous to rescues like us. #donate2hounds

Even if you can't donate this year, consider sharing with your favorite groups and friends!
FAQ from Donors
When you purchase through our #Donate2Hounds/#ChristmasInJuly program, we ship direct to the group and add all of the bonus "goodies" in the same box.  Once you purchase, your job is over!
In order to streamline the process and ensure the donations make it safely to the correct department/location, all #ChristmasInJuly orders are always sent direct to the group!
Reach out to them through social media, website, or phone, if possible. Some groups even have their addresses listed on their websites. Also, you are welcome to email us at woof@2houndsdesign.com. We may already have the group's information on file.
There are lots of ways you can help even if you can't donate this year (or even if you have already donated this year!)
-
Share on Social Media - a few tips, include images or video, that grabs attention! Â
-
Tell your group about it and encourage them to reach out to other adopters (or volunteer to help them reach out to other adopters).  Share the example posts and example emails!
-
Tell your friends and family!  If you are like me and hard to shop for, ask for a donation to your favorite group! Â
-
Volunteer at the shelter!  Time is valuable, getting dogs out of kennels and on walks will help them with the stress of waiting for their forever family.  Evaluating how the dogs behave and react to the world around them helps groups know what help a dog may need to become more adoptable!
Basically,
-
You buy stuff to donate to your favorite adoption group
-
We match your purchase +1 (you buy 3, we match it plus one, so we send 7, etc)

The most common sizes for humane societies and shelters are medium and large. Some groups, however, may have a specific size need. You can always reach out to the group directly.
After you finalize the donation order, we'll email you the store credit code.  This is a manual process, so if you don't receive your gift card within 1-2 business days, please reach out to Customer Service through our Contact Page!
