One simple mission has always guided DogTrekker’s work: Leave no dog behind, whether you’re on vacation or at a shelter. Since day one, we’ve dedicated our revenue and resources to California animal welfare organizations—including nearly 375 groups featured through DogTrekker channels. We thank our destination partners for their generous support of this work. We also thank you, loyal readers, for opening your hearts and pocketbooks to help save, heal and find forever homes for dogs (and cats) in need.
As part of DogTrekker’s Tourism Gives Back program, all revenue from our travel and tourism partners over the past 10 years has gone to operations, staff salaries and rescue/adoption promotion and funding. Our Co-founders have never taken salary nor distribution. As a result, hundreds of thousands of readers have been connected to animal welfare organizations throughout California from DogTrekker rescue content!
Here are our some of our key tourism partners who have made this effort possible; please plan upcoming trips to these destinations as a way of thanking them for their support:
