Tito’s Handmade Vodka has partnered with Voorhees Animal Orphanage to raise $90,000 through a matching campaign that began on February 14 and will continue until the end of the month. The initiative aims to support the shelter's efforts in providing care for stray animals until they find permanent homes.

The vodka brand, known as "Vodka for Dog People," has committed to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $45,000. This contribution will help cover costs for essential items such as prescription foods, vaccines, microchips, dog beds, preventatives, and tests necessary for adoption readiness. Additionally, funds will be allocated towards purchasing kennel cleaning supplies to ensure a safe environment for the animals.

Voorhees Animal Orphanage has been operational since 1988 and has rescued over 42,000 animals. In 2024 alone, more than 2,300 animals were taken in by the shelter. Currently housing 171 animals, including a one-year-old dog named Holly Berry who is now ready for adoption after recovering under their care.

Victoria Lewis from Tito’s Handmade Vodka expressed enthusiasm about supporting Voorhees Animal Orphanage: “We are thrilled to continue our longstanding support of Voorhees Animal Orphanage and work with them again to help raise money for animals looking for their forever homes.” Jen Bailey from Voorhees Animal Orphanage highlighted the importance of this collaboration: “Voorhees Animal Orphanage is grateful to be working with Tito’s again as their contribution will help save more of the animals that walk through our doors.”
