Vegan Sommelier supports a green and cruelty-free world by giving a significant portion of our profits to organizations and causes we think make a real difference. We do our homework to help ensure we donate to groups that are effective.

Our donations go to several large, well-known groups that have proven track records. But we also donate to smaller groups that are less well known. These small groups quietly, but diligently make a meaningful contribution, often spending 100% of donations directly on their causes.

Have a look at the list of groups we have supported over the years below. The list will grow as we do. If you'd like use to consider other groups, please send us their names and why we should include them.

Surrounded by the Catskill Mountains in the town made famous for peace and music, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary provides shelter to cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, sheep, and goats who have been rescued from cases of abuse, neglect and abandonment.

We are a place where visitors can come face to face with these animals who most only know as dinner and learn about the devastating effects of modern-day agribusiness on the animals, the environment and human health. 

At the heart of our mission is the hands-on work of rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for farmed animal refugees — as well as educating the public about the horrific treatment of animals who are raised for food.

The objective of the INKY RR Inc. is to provide charitable and educational services in the form of quality shelter and care of unwanted, neglected and/or abused Rottweilers until proper, permanent homes can be found within the states of Indiana and Kentucky, and give advice to potential and current Rottweiler owners through the Internet, email, mail, and point of contact booths, about breed characteristics, proper care, health issues, training and behavior issues. 

INKY RR, Inc. is not operated for profit and no part of any proceeds from dues or donations to the corporation goes to benefit of any director, volunteer or individual.

INKY Rottweiler Rescue was formed in October of 2001, and is a 501(c)3 Non-profit organization.

For more than three decades, the Animal Legal Defense Fund has been fighting to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. Founded in 1979 by attorneys active in shaping the emerging field of animal law, ALDF has blazed the trail for stronger enforcement of anti-cruelty laws and more humane treatment of animals in every corner of American life.

Today, ALDF’s groundbreaking efforts to push the U.S. legal system to end the suffering of abused animals are supported by thousands of dedicated attorneys and more than 100,000 members.

   Every day, ALDF works to protect animals by:  

• Filing groundbreaking lawsuits to stop animal abuse and expand the boundaries of animal law.
• Providing free legal assistance to prosecutors handling cruelty cases.
• Working to strengthen state anti-cruelty statutes.
• Encouraging the federal government to enforce existing animal protection laws.
• Nurturing the future of animal law through Student Animal Legal Defense Fund chapters and our Animal Law Program.
• Providing public education through seminars, workshops and other outreach efforts.
