The Halloweeniest Gift Catalog in the World

To get into the Halloween spirit, we asked some canine friends to dress up as their favorite Heifer gift.*

These festive pups prove there's no holiday you can't Heiferize. 

Sasha loves sheep, because they often give birth to twins or triplets, allowing Heifer participant families to Pass on the Gift more quickly. Give a sheep for Sasha!

Pepper loves rabbits as a gift for farmers, because they are easy to maintain, thriving on grass, field crop byproduct and refuse from garden plants and kitchen waste. Be Pepper's pal with a gift of rabbits!

Bandit wishes he could give a pig to every farmer who wanted one. Most pigs live 10-15 years, and the average sow can provide 16 or more piglets a year, making them a viable and long-term path to self-reliance for Heifer recipient families. Make Bandit's wish come true – give a pig!

Dakota thinks honeybees are the best. Many farmers harvest honey during their non-growing season to earn extra income, with hives producing 60 pounds or more of honey each year. Get down with Dakota and give a honeybee hive!

Tucker thinks heifers are worth howling about. A truly life-changing gift, heifers grow up to provide nutritious milk, and their manure is used as fertilizer for crops and to fuel biogas units. Heifers for Halloween! Give a heifer now.

Not to be outdone by a bunch of dogs, Murphy chose one of Heifer’s most popular animals for his Halloween costume. An average goat produces more than 10 times its body weight each year in milk – almost 1 ton of milk per year! Let Murphy know you like his style – give a goat today!
