Rescue Chocolate is “the sweetest way to save a life”! That’s because one-hundred percent of the net profits from the sale of the bars are donated to animal shelters and rescue organizations around the country and for March 2010, United Animal Nations is the chosen beneficiary.
Begun in early 2010, the company’s mission is two-fold: to raise money for animal rescue organizations, and to spread awareness about methods to end the so-called pet overpopulation crisis.
Founder, Sarah Gross invites rescue groups and animal shelters to utilize Rescue Chocolate at adoption events and fundraisers. It makes for an easy way to draw in the public to learn about issues like spay/neuter and foster homes to save animals’ lives.
With this big mission, it’s almost like an afterthought to consider the chocolate itself. But retailers need not worry about the shelf life of this product. It’s addictingly good! Handcrafted in Brooklyn with high quality Kosher and all-vegan ingredients, the chocolate quality is as pure and heavenly as they come. This is a quantum leap above Hershey’s!
The packaging of each flavor of Rescue Chocolate highlights a different aspect of the current pet overpopulation epidemic. For example:
“Pick Me! Pepper” [available now]
64% cocoa content with chipotle peppers and pink peppercorns
explains the advantages of acquiring pets from animal shelters instead of breeders
“Peanut Butter Pit Bull” [available now]
64% cocoa content with peanut butter and vanilla wafer
argues against punitive, breed-specific legislation; counters the negative public image of the pit bull breed
“The Fix” [coming April 2010]

urges pet owners to spay and neuter their dogs and cats
“Foster-rific Peppermint” [coming March 2010]
