Three Dog Bakery ‘DOGust’ fundraiser supports nonprofit animal rescues

Three Dog Bakery publicized results of its 2022 DOGust fundraiser in support of animal rescue organizations, including $19,883 donated to 33 nonprofit animal rescues throughout the US. This total surpasses last year’s for the same fundraiser by nearly 25%.¹

DOGust, on August 1st each year, is nationally recognized as the unofficial birthday celebration for all shelter dogs with unknown birthdays. This past August, Three Dog Bakery locations nationwide encouraged dog owners to support rescues and shelters in the communities its bakeries serve by buying themed DOGust bandanas. What’s more, Three Dog Bakery locations offered large dog-friendly bone-shaped cakes to its local rescue shelters for dogs to celebrate their birthdays.

The Three Dog Bakery donations recipients included the Bella Vista Animal Shelter in Bentonville, Arkansas; Big Dogs Huge Paws in Denver, Colorado; and the Indianapolis Humane Society in Indianapolis, Indiana. Each shelter was gifted over $1,000 in contributions. Customers of Three Dog Bakery in Noblesville, Indiana, donated more than $2,000 to support rescue dogs at the Humane Society of Hamilton County in Fishers, Indiana.

“We deeply appreciate the generosity of our Three Dog Bakery customer families who helped us raise funds to support shelter and rescue dogs during our DOGust campaign,” expressed Ally Homa, bakery marketing director, in a company release.¹

“We’re pleased to have been able to make DOGust a birthday celebration for all dogs who found their forever homes and those awaiting adoption at rescues and shelters across the United States,” she concluded.
