Shop for a good cause! You can help the furry victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan by entering “HELPJAPAN” at checkout on your next order. Funny Fur will donate 10% of proceeds to Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (JEARS), a coalition of three no-kill shelter groups providing aid in Japan’s hardest hit areas.

The goal of JEARS is to rescue, reunite, and rehome animals affected by the devastation. Funds raised will be used directly for veterinary care including vaccines, microchips, antibiotics, and medicine, food, cages, and cost of transporting animals.
You can read some amazing rescue stories, as well as see daily video and picture updates from volunteers on the JEARS Facebook page.
