Charity Work

Your purchase helps dogs and dog guardians in one of two ways:

I'm happy to be donating a portion of our Exceptional Dog LLC sales to help families in need care for their pets in Jefferson County, Colorado through the Better Together Program. 

Because every Exceptional Dog deserves a full bowl and a forever home.

Better Together Program: Foothills Animal Shelter works with multiple partner organizations to provide resources to pet owners in my community. This includes providing Better Together clients with pet food, supplies, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services. They also provide short term housing when requested. Read about how I'm involved below.

We're starting this off with donating 5% of our profit to the Better Together Program, hoping to grow that amount as our business grows.

Service Dog Support

Domino Service Dogs: We are excited to work with Domino Service Dog trainers and clients in providing specialized equipment for their individual service dog needs.

We are happy to provide discounted products for clients of DSD as well as donate a portion of the proceeds back to support the organization.

DSD provides a 2-year program for people who are training their own service dog. They are committed to helping their clients find funding, sponsors, or financial assistance to help alleviate financial barriers to participating in Domino Service Dogs’ program.

Domino Service Dogs (DSD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. https://dominoservicedogs.com/

Currently I volunteer at Foothills Animal Shelter.

I spend time with the dogs in our "extended stay" program, and may be handling dogs with behavioral challenges, dogs receiving medical care, dogs on their stray hold, and the dogs under court hold. Some of these dogs are at the shelter for weeks or even months at a time.

I also get to spend time with dogs under temporary care as part of our Better Together Program, which includes temporary housing for pets, including those belonging to victims of domestic violence.

Foothills Animal Shelter is an open admission facility serving Jefferson County in the state of Colorado. We are driven to make lives better for animals and people in our community. We are a Socially Conscious Animal Welfare Organization, creating the best outcomes for all animals that enter our care. We place every healthy and safe animal for adoption. We assess the medical and behavioral needs of homeless animals and ensure these needs are thoughtfully addressed. And, we alleviate suffering through thoughtful euthanasia.
