In 2025, one new DOGS RULE.™ grant was awarded, and a second continued from 2024. DOGS RULE.™ grants are $100,000 grants provided over two years to develop and support an innovative initiative that can become a best practice for other shelters and rescues. The 2025 grantees were:
| Organization | City | State | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gateway Pet Guardians: The first half of this grant for 2025 and 2026 will support their Finder-to-Foster Program, which empowers residents who find stray dogs to become temporary fosters – keeping dogs out of the shelter to reduce their stress and anxiety, and increase the shelter’s capacity to serve more animals. The funds will provide supplies, transportation and support to ensure the pets’ wellbeing while awaiting reunion or adoption. | East St. Louis | MO | $50,000 |
| Dallas Pets Alive!: The second half of this grant from 2024 and 2025 will support their Foster+ program, which modernizes the existing fostering program with training scholarships, streamlined access to supplies, transportation assistance for vet visits and grooming coverage, all aimed at reducing barriers and costs for foster parents to make fostering more appealing and accessible. | Dallas | TX | $50,000 |
