New buy one, donate one program from FreeHand helps homeless pets

FreeHand today announced a new line of high quality dog food that helps shelters and rescue groups save at-risk dogs in the community. FreeHand Meals are nutritious, balanced, super premium meals for your dog, and every time you purchase a bag of FreeHand to feed your dog, the company will donate the exact same amount of food to a shelter or rescue to feed a dog in need – pound-for-pound, scoop-for-scoop, meal-for-meal – every day, with no maximum. All FreeHand foods are premium natural foods free of corn, wheat, gluten and soy.
In addition to the introduction of the new caused-based dog foods, FreeHand has developed the FreeHand Corps (FHC), an incredible network of animal enthusiasts active in the community on behalf of local rescue organizations. Recently launched through Facebook, FHC has over 47,300 FreeHand Corps members who are able to directly interact with the partners and people that are committed to saving dogs.
