Friends of Houndstooth Studio
At Houndstooth Studio we are proud to work closely with several state and national charity organisations on a pro-bono basis. We feel passionately about the wonderful people who work tirelessly in the not for profit arena, and are always on the lookout for ways in which we can offer our help and support. We have also formed strong promotional partnerships with other animal related businesses and our corporate photography clients. By taking the time to read this page, you are supporting the businesses who support us.
Further, Houndstooth Studio is a member of the RSPCA, Animal Protection Society, Stop Live Exports, Animals Australia, PETA, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), and the World Wildlife Fund.
And it's only fitting we give a big shout out our state and national sponsors. These quality businesses assist us with marketing materials and products, and supply donated or heavily discounted Houndstooth Studio items for the animal charity groups we assist. We are extremely thankful for their support.
