Welcome to GiveADog.org

Want to give someone the gift of a dog this holiday season, without the responsibility of feeding, walking, and cleaning up after the dog? Did you know that shelters fill up in January with puppies and kittens that have been abandoned by people who can't handle the responsibility of caring for them?

We have the answer. With GiveADog you can give someone you love the joy of following one of our rescued dogs on his or her journey from being alone in a shelter or foster home to the Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary facility to his or her forever home.

The person who receives your gift gets a thank you card and when they choose their dog, a beautiful certificate announcing that they have saved that dog.

They also get an account at GiveADog where they can go to follow the progress of their dog. Once or twice a week they will get email updates about their dog as he or she embarks on the journey to a forever home. Their personal page has the current status of their dog, pictures of their dog, notes about their dog and a place to communicate with us about their dog. They can even see videos of their dog.

You can see a sample of the control panel here.

They will follow their dog's progress through the journey to Pets Alive, intake and examination, settling in, being matched with another dog, playing and being walked, breed determination, writing narrative about the dog, staff and volunteer care of the dog and how they feel about him or her, different families looking at the dog and finally adoption.

Throughout the process your gift recipient will know that because of your gift, they saved this dog from euthanization and made a difference in getting this dog to his or her forever home.

YOUR gift will genuinely save the life of a dog. You will personally be responsible for making that possible. What better thing can you do with your money at the holidays? Save a life.

It's a terrific, one of a kind gift for the holidays. And it's only $39.95 per recipient. And $37.95 is tax deductible (check with your tax advisor for details).

WE'RE SORRY - GIVEADOG IS SHUT DOWN UNTIL THE NEW HOLIDAY SEASON! BE SURE TO CHECK BACK IN NOVEMBER TO GIVEADOG FOR THE HOLIDAYS ONCE AGAIN!
