Update: We are thrilled to have exceeded our goal and raised $16,960 from 69 donors!
Check out this video announcing the winner of our Giving Tuesday drawing! Hero Dogs Tara did the honors in a special full-circle moment. A big thank you to all those who showed their support with donations, including the generous donor who matched the first $5,000! 
Donate for a chance to name a Hero Dogs puppy!
This Giving Tuesday, we are thrilled to share two incredible opportunities that will make your impact go even further:
- Your gift will be doubled!
An anonymous donor has generously offered to match all Giving Tuesday donations up to $5,000. That means your support will go twice as far in helping Hero Dogs change lives. - Puppy Naming Raffle is back!
By popular demand, our Giving Tuesday puppy naming raffle returns! Donate for the chance to name a Hero Dog puppy (subject to our naming guidelines).
For every $100 you donate by 11:59pm ET on Tuesday, December 2nd, you will receive one raffle ticket. Donate $200, receive two raffle tickets, and increase your chances to win the naming rights for a puppy!
On Wednesday, December 3rd, one of the dogs in Advanced Training will help us draw a winner. We will contact that winner by the end of the day Wednesday.
A few things to note:
- There’s no need to submit a name with your donation.
- The winner’s choice must follow Hero Dogs’ naming rules; we name dogs after veterans, first responders, or patriotic symbols. You can choose whether you want to name a girl puppy or a boy puppy.
- You get one chance to win for each $100 that you donate. There is no limit to the number of entries.
- The dog’s official sponsor will be “Giving Tuesday 2025 Donors” and not the individual winner.
We would be so grateful if you would consider supporting Hero Dogs this Tuesday, December 2nd!
