Our School Giving Initiative brings students, teachers, and communities together through a shared mission: helping homeless dogs receive the care, comfort, and second chances they deserve.
This program turns simple acts of giving into meaningful, real-world impact—while teaching students the value of kindness, teamwork, and community involvement.
By participating, your classroom becomes part of the rescue journey. Every item donated helps provide safety, enrichment, and care to dogs while they wait for their forever homes.



Every effort made through the School Giving Initiative directly supports the care of rescue dogs at Hotel for Homeless Dogs.
This program gives students the opportunity to be part of something meaningful, working together toward a shared goal that helps animals in need. Through classroom participation, school wide involvement, and friendly competition, students experience firsthand how collective effort can create real impact.
For students, this is more than a classroom activity. It is a chance to engage in something compassionate, purposeful, and community driven, learning that even small contributions can come together to make a meaningful difference.
For teachers and schools, the initiative offers a simple and engaging way to introduce service, teamwork, and social responsibility into the classroom while connecting students to a cause they can truly care about.

Getting involved is simple. Our School Giving Initiative is designed to make participation easy for schools while creating a meaningful experience for students from start to finish
Schools and classrooms sign up to participate and introduce the initiative to students. This sets the foundation for a shared goal that brings everyone together around a meaningful cause.
Students work together through classroom participation, fundraising efforts, and friendly competition to support the initiative. Schools can keep it simple or expand participation across multiple classrooms.

Turn giving into an exciting classroom experience.

Winning classrooms may receive a special reward like a Puppy Pizza Party, making the experience both meaningful and memorable for students.
