Social business for animals in need

Here are some social business examples whose social objectives are focused on supporting animals in need.

The Gabriel Foundation, which looks after rescued birds, has a number of ways for generating income, which include:

Sponsor a bird, which allows the public the opportunity to finance cost of looking after their 450+ birds in their aviary. This is of course reliant on donations, but it is done in a commercial way that supplements other revenue streams.

They also sell bird toys and accessories, including supplies, cages and food.

The Humane Society of Boulder Valley sells family portraits with their pets. They also have holiday camps and birthday parties for children. All of these can provide ways of generating income that is not reliant on donations and grants to survive.

The Kentucky Humane Society also has Summer Camps for Kids, which is very popular in the US, but also sell gifts and gift certificates for pets.
