Charity

Love of Dog Bakery is committed to helping animals in need. That's why 5% of all online sales are donated to a local or national charity each month, to benefit homeless animals.

The "Charity of the Month" for January is:

Homeward Trails Animal Rescue seeks to find permanent adoptive homes in the Mid-Atlantic Region for dogs and cats from high-kill shelters or whose owners can no longer care for them. In so doing, they seek to reduce the rate of euthanasia of adoptable animals through the rescue and placement of homeless animals; to support proactive spay/neuter practices; to promote positive and ongoing behavioral training; and to educate the public about how to care for their animals in a humane way. Homeward Trails not only facilitates adoptions from local shelters, but also supports a large network of foster care providers who take homeless dogs and cats into their homes, care for them, rehabilitate them when needed, and prepare them for their permanent adoptive homes.

Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization run entirely on donations and volunteer supports. We urge you to visit their website, read about the animals they care for, see the dogs up for adoption who will directly benefit from this donation, and if you are able, we encourage you to make a donation directly to this wonderful organization, to support their rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Any amount, no matter how great or small, can make a great difference.

And don't forget that you can add a $1 donation with your Love of Dog Bakery Order! Look for the "Add a $1 Donation" button at the bottom of our Order Page
