“The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way it treats its animals.” – Gandhi

If there is anything in this world that I love more than dogs, it’s coffee! I am a lean, mean, coffee drinking machine. Like for real, I sort of have a problem. So when I stumbled upon a company has combined my two loves in life, I was instantly obsessed!

Grounds and Hounds is an organic coffee company that pairs the love of coffee with the love of saving dogs, a combo that speaks directly to my heart! This idea was started by the unexpected sweet love of a rescued Dalmatian who became the center of her owners universe. He didn’t know the immediate love that an animal can fill your life with, until it happened to him.

Stories like this one happen every single day, however even with so many happily ever afters, there are still countless abandoned dogs without suitable homes.

Grounds and Hounds truly wants every dog to find the family they deserve, and they make it their mission to help this exact cause! Therefore, 20% of all proceeds go to several, big and small, no-kill animal rescues all over the country!

Hence their slogan…

“Wake, Brew, RESCUE, Repeat!”

So why coffee? I went ahead and took this direct quote from the founder himself…

“Coffee is the drink of revolutions. Where coffee has come, change has followed. It has led to kings being overthrown, countries revolting against unjust rule and now it is time for coffee to revolutionize the way we treat our furry friends in need.”

How simply put is that? Helping our innocent creatures doesn’t always need to be so complicated. Think about how much coffee you buy in a week, month, or even a year… Now imagine if every time you bought that caffeinated cup, you contributed money to an animal saving foundation! How much sweeter would that brew taste?

With a variety of over 10 different organic blends of pure bliss, there is no doubt that you won’t find something your taste buds will fall in love with.

My personal favorite is the Alpha Blend!

Say goodbye to Starbucks and visit Grounds & Hounds today and start saving lives while drinking coffee!

“THERE IS ONLY ONE THING MORE ENJOYABLE THAN A FRESH-BREWED CUP OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING, AND THAT IS TO SEE A DOG’S WAGGING TAIL WHEN YOU ROLL OUT OF BED.”

Wiser words have never been spoken.
