How to Donate Furs

Donating fur items is an efficient way to clean out your closet, relieve your wardrobe of bulky, space-consuming garments and to give to animals or people in need. Fur garments that you no longer wear can act as nesting material for deserted or victimized shelter animals to help in their recovery. Similarly, fur coats can dramatically improve the quality of life for those who lack warm garments.

Instructions

    • 1

      Package your furs in a sturdy box or padded envelope to send to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The HSUS will use your furs to help orphaned and abandoned animals. The fur is used as bedding material to help reduce the degree of human contact when rescuing and rehabilitating these creatures.

    • 2

      Address the box to: Fur-Free Century, The HSUS, 2100 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037. Acquire the appropriate postage and mail your package at the post office. You will receive a letter of thanks from the Humane Society upon its arrival.

    • 3

      Package your furs in a box or padded envelope and send them to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA gives these garments to homeless people who can't afford warm clothing. Sometimes the fur clothing is even shipped overseas to people in need of warm coats and jackets.

    • 4

      Address your package to: Attn.: Fur Campaign, PETA, 501 Front Street, Norfolk, VA 23510. Acquire proper postage and put your items in the mail. You will receive a receipt, and your donation is tax-deductible.
