Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: A Florida nonprofit celebrates 5 years of providing sanctuary to foxes rescued from fur farms while offering unique animal-assisted therapy programs for trauma survivors.
📈 One key stat: Pawsitive Beginnings has provided permanent sanctuary to eight foxes rescued from the fur trade over its first 5 years of operation.
💬 One key quote: “We collaborate with organizations in regions where fur farming is prevalent and offer placement assistance for foxes in need,” said Nicole Navarro, founder of Pawsitive Beginnings.
1️⃣ The big picture: A nonprofit organization in Florida called Pawsitive Beginnings marked its 5th anniversary of rescuing and caring for foxes that can’t be released into the wild. These foxes come from fur farms and lack the necessary survival skills to live independently. Beyond providing sanctuary, the organization runs an innovative therapy program where counselors use the foxes’ inspiring stories to help trauma survivors. The nonprofit works with veterinarians to provide comprehensive care and aims to upgrade their facilities while expanding their therapy services.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This initiative creates a win-win situation by saving foxes from the fur trade while helping trauma survivors heal through animal-assisted therapy. The foxes receive lifelong care and medical attention in a safe environment rather than being used for their fur. The program demonstrates how rescued animals can have a meaningful second purpose by helping humans overcome trauma. Through their therapy program, these foxes transform from victims of the fur industry into agents of emotional healing.
3️⃣ What’s next: Pawsitive Beginnings aims to raise funds to upgrade their fox enclosures with more durable black rubber-coated wire that better withstands Florida’s salty air and provides more comfort for the animals. They plan to expand their animal-assisted therapy program to help more trauma survivors in the Florida Keys region. The organization continues collaborating with other rescue groups to place more foxes in need of sanctuary.
