This season, your generosity can have twice the impact on the dogs in our care. Many workplaces offer matching gift programs — meaning when you donate, your employer may match your contribution dollar-for-dollar! 💛

Getting started is easy:
✨ Ask your HR department if your company participates in donation matching.
✨ Make your gift to Hopeful Tails through our PayPal link: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=BF96WTH35UYHG.
✨ Complete your employer’s matching request to double your support!

Your kindness helps provide medical care, food and a warm, safe place for our pups while they wait for their forever families. And with a match, your impact grows even bigger.

If you’ve already donated this year, your gift might still qualify, so it’s worth checking!

Thank you for helping our rescue dogs feel the love this holiday season. ❤️🐶
