VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE ORGANIZATION TO HELP THEM 
WIN A $2,500 WAGGLE GRANT!

$5,000 to give away. 3 Waggle grants to be won.

Every year, countless dogs wait longer than they should for a home — not because they need less love, but because they're harder to place: senior dogs, black dogs, pit mixes, large breeds, and dogs with special needs. This August — known as DOGust — we teamed up with Miranda Lambert's MuttNation and their Love Harder initiative to invite our animal welfare partners to nominate themselves for the chance to win a grant supporting these dogs.

Vote for which organization you want to win from the list of applicants below to help boost their chances!

Voting closes September 10 at 11:59 pm PST. Winners will be announced by September 14.
