GIVE BACK & PAY IT FORWARD
Supporting your local shelter or rescue doesn’t always mean adopting — though that’s wonderful when it’s the right fit. You can support animals in need by donating to important causes with products you purchase, or apps you use every day.
TAG!
you're it!
At My Barking Life, we believe every dog deserves the chance to succeed — no matter their family’s financial situation.
That’s why we’re proud to sponsor at least four annual Training Assistance Grants (TAGs) to cover the cost of the Foundations First course at Ashton & Co. K9 Academy.
These grants are designed to give dogs and their humans a strong start, building essential skills, confidence, and communication that last a lifetime. By removing the financial barrier to quality training, we hope to keep more dogs in loving homes, strengthen the bond between pets and their people, and set both up for long-term success.

& hounds coffee co.
Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. blends a love of exceptional coffee with a passion for helping rescue animals. A portion of every purchase is donated to animal rescue organizations working to provide food, medical care, and safe shelter for dogs in need. It’s a simple way to make your daily coffee routine part of something bigger — helping give more dogs the second chances they deserve.
gunner goes
This adorable series of books was launched in 2022 when Karl Riemensperger, a U.S. Marine veteran, decided to write a children’s book inspired by his family's experience with Gunner, a black Labrador Retriever mix they were fostering.
What started as one book turned into a series, now consisting of seven titles — with more to come — all centered around the lovable and mischievous black Labrador Retriever.
A portion of the proceeds from each book sale supports animal rescue efforts, like those of the Florida All-Retriever Rescue (FARR).
WOOFTRAX
Using the WoofTrax app lets you earn money for your favorite rescue group or shelter — just for walking your dog! And it's easy! Download the app to your phone, select your charity of choice, launch the app, and start walking! Each time you head out — regardless of how long the walk is — you earn money for your group. The more you walk, the more you can help dogs who truly need it. That’s the power of dog-powered fundraising!
TREAT APP
The TREAT app is a free mobile game where users choose a real shelter dog to play with virtually, earning in-game rewards that are converted into real-life food and supplies for shelter animals via Chewy.
By playing the game, users can "bond" with their chosen dog, earn items to send to the shelter, and receive notifications when their dog is adopted, contributing to the well-being and rescue of shelter animals.
The app is free to play and can help free up shelter funds so they can be used for things like medical care and toys.
DOGS AND CATS AND COFFEE, OH MY!
THE BARK BOUTIQUE
Every design in The Bark Boutique was created to celebrate the dogs and cats who make our lives brighter — and to help the ones still waiting for their second chance. 100% of net profits from every purchase goes towards paying the adoption fees of shelter dogs, making it a little easier for them to land a new forever home. Wear what you love, and help an animal along the way.
