Hot Pink  Half-ToeSox

ToeSox, we are passionate about keeping your feet healthy. Nothing makes us giddier than to see toes that spread wide; it's liberating for them. Whether you wear ToeSox for yoga, Pilates, dance, martial arts, or just because, we are proud that no matter when and where, our toe socks are making your feet happy and healthy.

We're also passionate about giving back. We want to help make a difference, and we know we can. So we teamed up with ToeSox model Kathryn Budig to develop our first Sox for a Cause.

Summer 2010 launches Kathryn Budig's Hot Pink Half-ToeSox - with proceeds helping animals in need.

Kathryn Budig & Poses for Paws


 Kathryn and  Ashi

A lover and teacher of yoga by day, a wizard in the kitchen by dinner time and a professional dog snuggler at night. Kathryn's love of animals lead her to co-found Poses for Paws, an organization dedicated to raising money for animal shelters through yoga. Poses for Paws and ToeSox will donate a portion of product sales of the Kathryn Budig Hot Pink Half-ToeSox to several shelters and organizations throughout the year.

 

The first organization to benefit is Sammy's Place; APe Action's Senior Dog Sanctuary. Please visit this page regularly, so you can stay connected to the organizations and animals being helped by Poses for Paws and ToeSox. Learn more about Kathryn.

Sammy's Place


Sammy

A Senior Dog Sanctuary - It's a place where hard to place dogs can come and stay and older dogs can live out their last days.

Sammy's Place started when Jill Gasparac adopted her first senior dog from a shelter - a black lab they estimated was about 9 or 10 years old. This lab, Sam, was the most regal dog - solid, sound and balanced. Dogs like Sam would normally be passed over at the shelter - just another big, black lab - and sadly there are many. So Jill opened Sammy's Place (in honor of her furry pal who passed in 2009) and now there's a place for loving seniors to spend their last days, weeks, years. All they need are donations to fund Sammy's Place. There is an overabundance of Seniors dumped in the shelter every day that could benefit from opening Sammy’s Place.

An Interview with Kathryn Budig

TS: When do you get your first dog? What kind was it? Dog’s name?
KB: My first dog was a yellow lab named Jay Jay. I picked her out when I was 12. She was "the dog with the red collar". She was the cutest tennis ball-obsessed dog ever.
     
TS: Describe Ashi
KB: Ashi is a mix of pug and beagle (puggle) and she is a sassy four year old. She is a 'needy-independent'-just like her mama.  Honestly, she has more personality in her paw than five people put together. She's the love of my life. Ashi is short for 'Ashtanga', like the yoga.

TS: What yoga pose does Ashi do best?
KB: Savasana. Total pro.
     
TS: Favorite Kathryn/Ashi activity?
KB: We both love to eat. She's my sous chef in the kitchen. . .anything that falls off the cutting board goes right down the gullet.  We also walk through the canals everyday.  She checks her email (AKA sniffing all the bushes to see who's been around).

TS: Do you dress Ashi up in clothes?

KB: She absolutely despises clothes, but I had to put her in a hoodie after she had an operation once. She looked like an angry house elf.

TS: Best piece of advice you have ever been given?
KB: Choose only love

TS: If you could share one thing with people that would encourage them to help animals what would it be?
KB: Be passionate. Be aware. Be active. If you don't have money to spare, give your time and love. . .it all counts.

TS: How much have you raised for animal shelters through Poses for Paws so far?

KB: You know, not positive about this one. . .$10,000? (ToeSox comment - "Let's double that this year!")
