One of the best parts of the holiday season is giving. That's what it's all about, right? Giving gifts to those you know and love, but even better is giving back to those in need. This holiday season, we encourage you to consider one of these gifts for the animal-lover in your life, because each gift here directly benefits — in some way — a cause.
