In early 2022 the tragedy began. As the pandemic was ending and the crisis was largely over for humans, it was just beginning for dogs.

You see, 23 million households, or 1 in 5 across America, adopted a dog during the pandemic, mostly to serve as a source of joy, happiness and unconditional love during dark times.

The shelters were empty!

But, as the pandemic ended and people went back to work, dogs were surrendered by the hundreds of thousands to shelters across the USA, creating a BIG problem.

​How big? In 2022, a record 6.5 MILLION animals entered rescue shelters. Only a little less than half, or 3.2 million, were adopted.

Sadly, you can guess what happened to the rest. The end of the pandemic was a death sentence for many dogs.

That’s when We Love Doggos and the We Love Doggos Charity were born.

We KNEW that dog lovers across the country were ready to help save doggos, ALL of the doggos, if we could.

THAT is our mission, to save ALL of the dogs stuck in shelters, roaming the streets or otherwise homeless. That sounds ludicrous, we know, but that is exactly what the 500,000+ members of our community believe, and that is what we are doing.

​Whether it is participating in a life-saving vaccination trip for 250+ homeless dogs living on the streets or sponsoring the transportation cost for a van full of dogs stuck in kill shelters to their new homes, our community is there.

Whether its building a covered area so dogs can find shade in the blistering heat at one of our charity partner sites or paying the adoption fees for hard to place dogs, or a hundred other things, our community is there…hands on, involved every step of the way.

And, while we do have great merchandise for humans and dogs, it is the We Love Doggos Hero Club that is the driving force behind our real-world mission to save dogs. This is where THOUSANDS of members have said “no more” and volunteered to be part of the growing Army of dog lovers committed to ending this tragedy.

We call our community members “heroes”, because in the purest sense of the word, they are. They step up. They answer the call. They help us do whatever is necessary to make the world a better place for dogs.

If we do nothing, many more dogs suffer and die needlessly. That is NOT okay with us. We care WAY too much!

Together we not only can, but we ARE making a difference. Join us and let’s be our dogs’ best friends the same way they have been ours throughout our lives.
