Send A Care Package 🎁Updated 5 hours ago

Send A Care Package is a giveback initiative made possible through iHeartDogs' partnerships with rescue and shelter organizations across the country. This program was created with a simple mission: to give shelter dogs a boost of morale and a little extra love and care while they wait to be adopted.

Why It Matters

Life in a shelter can be stressful and lonely, especially for dogs who have been waiting a long time to be noticed. On top of that, many shelters operate on tight budgets, and it's often hard to stretch limited resources beyond the basics. Care packages help on both fronts — covering small comforts that shelters may not otherwise be able to provide, while also giving dogs a boost of morale and a moment of joy that can help them feel cared for. That extra warmth can also help a dog feel more relaxed and appealing to potential adopters. Each care package typically includes a meal, a bag of treats, a blanket, and a toy — small comforts that can make a big difference for a dog waiting to be adopted. Some campaigns have also included extras like professional photos to help dogs get noticed by potential adopters or partial coverage of adoption fees, though these vary by campaign.

How You Help

There are several impactful ways you can support the Send A Care Package mission:

• Shop Care Package Products: Select products in our store are specially marked to support this program. 
• Make a One-Time Gift: You can also make a one-time donation to help send a care package to a shelter dog 

Care package recipients rotate across the various rescue and shelter partners we work with on a given campaign, so the specific organization benefiting may vary. Every contribution, big or small, helps a shelter dog feel a little more comfortable and a little closer to home.
