“Every pound saves a hound.” The tagline of Ground and Hounds Coffee Co. is fitting, given that the company was founded in 2012 as a vehicle to help give sheltered and homeless pets a second chance while serving up some delicious coffee.
Not only is their coffee 100% Fair Trade and Organic certified, Ground and Hounds also directly donates 20% of all proceeds to your closest rescue partner. In the DC metro area, Lucky Dogs Animal Rescue is the beneficiary of your coffee purchases. Lucky Dog is staffed entirely by volunteers who dedicate themselves to saving homeless pets and educating dog owners, in addition to coordinating foster home opportunities for pups who are between homes.
District Dogs is happy to sell several Ground and Hounds blends in our shop. I can vouch for the Paper & Slippers medium roast, but we have several others that we think you’ll enjoy. If you want to ensure the best-tasting brew, Ground and Hounds has a helpful how-to on their website. Hope we see you soon!
