2) HORSE PLUS HUMANE SOCIETY
Horse Plus Humane Society helps horses throughout the country at every life stage through the rescue, sheltering, and protection from abuse, neglect, and slaughter. Horse Plus Humane Society provides shelter, medical care, and more at their 50+ acre facility nestled in the bucolic Tennessee countryside.
This noteworthy organization has rescued, sheltered, aided in adoptions, and protected over 8,500 horses since their founding in 2003. Follow Horse Plus Humane Society on instagram (@horsehumane) or visit their website.

3) RESCUE DOGS ROCK NYC
Rescue Dogs Rock NYC focuses on saving the most difficult, urgent, expensive, and critically injured dogs due to cruelty, abuse and/or neglect. Due to the extent and nature of their injuries, these dogs would not otherwise receive the help and care they need. Often, this is due to the prohibitive costs and long-term commitment required to provide those services. Most animal shelters simply don't have the resources.
That's when Rescue Dogs Rock NYC jumps into action. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is a non-profit animal rescue organization. They exist and rely solely upon donations and fundraising initiatives to achieve their mission. Follow them on instagram (@rescuedogsrocknyc) or visit their website.

4) THE OWNER
The owner of this extensive collection was a former opera singer who performed in renowned locations such as the New York Metropolitan Opera House. She resides in a bucolic, rural town in Fairfield County, Connecticut and wishes to remain anonymous. She was recently diagnosed with end-stage pancreatic cancer. As an animal lover and active donor to a variety of animal care and rescue organizations, she is liquidating her lifetime collection of designer goods and jewelry with the intention of donating all her proceeds to two of her favorite charities.
