TITO’S HANDMADE VODKA TEAMS UP WITH VOORHEES ANIMAL ORPHANAGE TO RAISE $90,000
A matching campaign kicking off February 14 will raise funds for the shelter helping animals to find their forever homes
Voorhees Township, NJ (February 14, 2025) – Tito’s Handmade Vodka – also known as the Vodka for Dog People, is teaming up with Voorhees Animal Orphanage, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing shelter, food, and medical care to stray animals until they find their homes. Tito’s will be matching donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $45,000, from Valentine’s Day through February 28th helping to support kennel supplies and other essentials for the animals in the shelter’s care.
Since opening its doors in 1988, Voorhees Animal Orphanage has rescued over 42,000 animals, including more than 2,300 in 2024 alone. The matching campaign will help raise money for general care items including special prescription foods, vaccines, microchips, dog beds, preventatives, and tests required for each animal to be ready for adoption. In addition, money will be used towards kennel cleaning supplies that fight against viruses and bacteria to keep the animals safe and healthy.
(Pictured is Holly Berry who has been in the care of Voorhees Animal Orphanage since December 2024 and is ready for her forever home.)
Voorhees Animal Orphanage currently has 171 animals in their care, including one-year-old dog Holly Berry, and is expected to see an increase throughout the year. Holly Berry, who arrived at the shelter emaciated and skeletal with a broken spirit, has gained not only an astounding 40 pounds under the shelter’s care but also regained her trust in humans. The money raised through Tito’s matching campaign will help support Voorhees Animal Orphanage as they work to save the lives of other animals like Holly Berry and prepare them for adoption.
“We are thrilled to continue our longstanding support of Voorhees Animal Orphanage and work with them again to help raise money for animals looking for their forever homes,” said Victoria Lewis, Field Sales Manager at Tito’s Handmade Vodka. “Through our Vodka for Dog People program we are committed to empowering animal-focused nonprofits that are creating lasting, positive change in our communities.”
“Voorhees Animal Orphanage is grateful to be working with Tito’s again as their contribution will help save more of the animals that walk through our doors. The money raised will not only go towards kennel supplies, but will also help cover the cost of spay/neuter for our shelter pets,” said Jen Bailey, Marketing Director at Voorhees Animal Orphanage.
