An important part of Dog is Good’s mission is to be a force for good. This is why we created the Dog is Good for Good Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non profit that helps dogs, helping people.
Dog is Good for Good knows the power of the human- dog bond. For both, this partnership improves the health and well-being of the human as well as the dog. As we emerge from a year of incredible human challenges due to a global pandemic that has contributed to job loss, food insecurity, and isolation. Ever-changing work environments, and a dependency on the continuity of technology to support remote learning, work, and sustain friendships, dogs might be more essential than ever before as they have been a source of companionship, joy, and calm.
We have worked with numerous animal shelters, therapy organizations, and other pet-related non-profits, in pursuit of this ideal. Each year, Dog is Good reaches out to dozens of organizations and is also aligned with a couple of larger partner organizations. We invite you to join our community and learn more about our initiatives.

Featured Partner: Help Us Make A Difference with the Waggle Foundation
Waggle is the only pet-dedicated crowdfunding platform that partners directly with leading veterinary providers, nonprofits and pet guardians to reduce economic euthanasia in pets, thereby giving options to pet guardians and second chances to the pets they love. The critical partnership between Waggle and veterinary partners ensures that funds flow directly to the pet’s medical care. 500,000 pets are put down annually because their guardians can’t afford veterinary care. Waggle saves the lives of pets in need of costly medical treatments by creatively raising and responsibly distributing resources directly to vetted health care providers.
