Dog Star on the Move!
After 10 years, Dog Star has outgrown its current rented facilities — and we’re purchasing a new home! This move will allow us to help even more of our sweet, four-legged friends and secure the future of Dog Star’s lifesaving work.
Stich Charitable Foundation Match
We are thrilled to share some incredible news: thanks to your generosity, we met our first $150,000 match from the Stich Charitable Foundation.
Stich has been so inspired by our accomplishments that they’ve offered us another $150,000 match. That means every dollar you give now will be doubled — helping us reach our new goal even faster.
Your support ensures our mission to save as many dogs as possible continues to thrive. Whether large or small, every gift brings us closer to opening the doors of our new facility.
Please join us in making our new building a reality — and let’s meet this second match together!
