About Our Campaign
We value the importance of community and believe every pet should have access to a better life through holistic health and wellness. In a joint effort to expand Gaia Provides holistic pet line and bring holistic wellness to the most at risk animals in need, for this campaign, we have partnered with 3 amazing rescue organizations as our way to give back to the rescue community.
Supporting Gaia Provides is supporting a rescue animal in need. Part of every contribution, donation, and purchase will go directly to our rescue partners to support them as they continue to save hundreds of more shelter pets who often are in need of serious medical help due to abusive or neglectful situations. You can support this campaign in a variety of ways, but when you buy a Rescue Pack in particular then the select rescue will receive 1 bag of hemp chews for their rescue animals as well partial proceeds. Can't choose just 1 rescue, then select the Rescue Tri-Fecta to donate a bag to each rescue.
To-date we’ve sold and donated 3000+ bags of our Pet Chews since our product launched in 2019 - improving the quality of life for hundreds of dogs, cats, and even horses, helping to relieve discomfort, provide joint health support, and even calming the most stressed pet.
A healthy community requires a solid support system and ask you to consider supporting our amazing rescues through this campaign, because it really does take a village. Thank you for sharing and supporting our campaign, 'Pet Chews for a Cause.'

Meet The Rescues!
Along with monetary goals, another major component of our campaign is to raise community awareness about shelter pets in need. By educating people and making them aware of the situation we hope to curate a sense of responsibility for these amazing animals in a way that actively reduces overcrowding in shelters through educating and training individuals about responsible animal ownership, what that looks like, and the role we play in reducing the number of animals at shelters. To do this we have partnered with 3 amazing rescue organizations. Below you can learn more about each of them, and the incredible work they are doing for rescue pets across the US.
Each Rescue will receive monetary proceeds from every dollar you spend, meaning that money goes directly to our rescue partners whether you purchase a rescue perk or not. Purchasing a Rescue Perk benefits the rescue EVEN MORE! The selected rescue will receive 1 bag of chews for every Rescue Perk purchased! Can't pick just one rescue to give to? Don't worry we have the Rescue Trifecta Perk that will ensure all 3 rescues each receive a bag of chews for your contribution.

Bree Kishman has been rescuing pets since childhood, so it’s no wonder she would eventually grow up and become the founder of an animal rescue one day. Hope of Deliverance is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue, dedicated to being the voice for the voiceless. Their mission is to to save as many dogs as possible by partnering with rural animal shelters,
specifically those with low or no veterinary care available at the shelter. Their focus is on the overpopulated shelters in New York, Southern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Hope of Deliverance provides preventative care to shelters, such as funding for vaccinations, microchips, and spay and neuter procedures directly at the shelter before adoption, as well as this care for the dogs they pull from the shelter who go into their foster homes.

growing up with a military family, Bonnie Jill’s connection to our veterans and her passion to rescue animals led her to found Hounds & Heroes in 2010.

“They're all worth saving...They'll always have a home with us and we promise to never give up on any of our rescues.” Julie Anaya is proof there is hope for the future. At the mere age of 21, while attending school to become a surgical tech, Julie found her calling to help the
most at risk, because sometimes you just need to lend a hand, or in this case a bone.
Lend A Bone is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit rescue focused on helping reduce the amount of dogs euthanized in shelters every year by rescuing dogs that are at high risk with behavioral or medical issues.

The Benefits For Pets
What Can CBD Do For Pets?
Just as we promote a healthy life for ourselves, our pets too need the same! Like us at times, our pets can experience the gambit of issues ranging from discomfort, joint stiffness and mobility issues to behavioural issues associated with anxiousness and feelings of stress in overwhelming situations.
Gaia Provides Holistic CBD products can help maintain optimal health of your pet by improving your pets level of comfort. They can also help maintain healthy bone and joint function, provide support for a healthy inflammatory response, and even promote a calming effect that may help curb your pet's destructive behaviour.
Many shelter animals have come from physically or emotionally abusive situations, been abandoned and may experience behavioural issues because of this. One of our missions at Gaia Provides is to provide these much useful holistic CBD products to shelter animals who need them the most. Pet Chews For A Cause campaign was created to do this exact thing, supporting 3 dedicated rescues in their journey to provide the best life possible to those most in need!

What is CBD?
CBD is short for cannabidiol — a naturally-occurring cannabinoid found in both marijuana and hemp. It is one of over 100 such compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not cause mind-altering effects and will not make your pet stoned. Moreover, new research indicates CBD may help with many common conditions in dogs.
THC is considered toxic to pets, and you should never give your pet THC, as it can create an unpleasant experience and may require an emergency visit to the vet.
How Does CBD Work?
CBD works in all mammals by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex system of chemicals and corresponding receptors found in all mammals. This vast signaling network is responsible for some of the most vital functions of the body including temperature, appetite, memory, inflammation, pain, mood, reproduction, immunity, and more.
The ECS consists of two primary cannabinoid receptors known as CB1 and CB2 receptors, found throughout the brain and body. CBD interacts with these receptors both directly and indirectly to maintain homeostasis within the body.
How CBD Works
Thanks to these @gaiaprovides products the family dogs were much calmer than in previous years. 4 dogs varying in age from adolescent to senior, 30 -60+ lbs and varying existing anxiety levels. The product dosages allowed us to scale up if needed. So glad we had these on the 4th. ~ Melissa M.
Love their products, not as much as my 16 year old mini dachshund. He loves the treats and he is sleeping better at night, more energy during the day and a steady appetite. Mahalo for creating a wonderful product and business ethic! ~ Kyle C.
Excellent customer service plus the only CBD treats I’ve found that my dogs will eat! Love their products... they really calm my four dogs down during thunder storms. ~Kathy J.
