Strengthening a Community That Cares for Dogs
At Golden Dog, our mission goes beyond adventures and enrichment programs.
We believe that supporting dogs also means supporting the organizations that rescue, protect, and care for them every day.
Through our Charitable Partner’s Program (CPP), Golden Dog works with New Hampshire–based pet nonprofits to raise awareness, generate funding, and strengthen the network of support for dogs and the people who care for them.

A Community That Gives Back
Since launching our Charitable Partner’s Program in 2019, the Golden Dog community—together with our members, partners, sponsors, and event participants—has donated more than $59,000 to local pet nonprofits.
This total does not include the many donated goods, services, and volunteer hours contributed by our community.
Every adventure, event, and gathering becomes an opportunity to make a difference for dogs in need.
Together, we are helping ensure that more dogs receive the care, shelter, and second chances they deserve.

Supporting the Broader Animal Welfare Community
In addition to our own events, Golden Dog and our members regularly support other fundraising initiatives across the region.
These efforts include:
- Participating in the NHSPCA Shelter Slumber Pawty, spending 24 hours in a kennel to raise awareness and funds
- Jumping into the Atlantic during the NHSPCA Doggie Paddle Plunge to support animal welfare programs

These collaborations strengthen the entire network of organizations working to protect and support animals.
Our Goal for 2026
With the continued support of our members, partners, sponsors, and community, Golden Dog has set an ambitious goal for the coming year.
In 2026, we aim to exceed $15,000 in donations through our Charitable Partner’s Program.
Every event attended, every ticket purchased, and every donation made helps expand the reach of organizations working to care for animals in need.
Community Events That Make an Impact
Many of our community-favorite events also serve as fundraising opportunities for our charitable partners.
The Power of Community
Golden Dog’s impact is possible because of the people who make up this community.
Our members, partners, and supporters believe that when we come together, we can create meaningful change—not only for the dogs we adventure with, but also for those still waiting for their chance.
Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community for dogs across New Hampshire.
Be Part of the Impact
Whether you attend an adventure, participate in a fundraising event, or support one of our charitable initiatives, you are helping improve the lives of dogs in our region.
Every step we take together helps another dog thrive.
