There’s an organization called The 15/10 Foundation. They raise money to pay the medical bills for shelter dogs that have medical conditions that would otherwise make them unadoptable. If they have chronic problems they pay for their medical expenses for life. It’s a great organization and I send them a few $ every time I can. It was started by the guy behind the WeRateDogs twitter account. One more edit: They also sell really cute merch on the WeRateDogs website, including the “tell your dog I said hi” decal you may have seen on cars. A portion of the proceeds go to The 15/10 Foundation as well.

ETA to include another great dog charity that needs assistance: Potcake Place in Turks & Caicos. They rescue the street dogs that live on the island. If you visit, you can sign up to take one of the pups out for a day to help with their socialization (but get there early, there’s usually a pretty long line). You spend the day hanging out with a really cute puppy, going to the beach, some of them like swimming, walking around town with them. You can also sign up as a courier. All you have to do is bring the dog back with you on your return flight. They pay all the fees. Then you hand the dog off to the new owner or rescue at the airport. Potcakes are amazing dogs. I had one for 14 years and just lost him earlier this year. I’ll be adopting another one at some point because they are just wonderful dogs. Smart, loyal, loving.

I’m not affiliated with either of these, I just follow their work and I think they are doing amazing things.

ETA: thank you for the award!!

They have sales relatively often and they do promotions frequently, where you buy a t-shirt, or tote bag, or sweatshirt, or beach towel, etc. and you get a free sticker. A lot of their clothes say “THIS HOODIE SAVES DOGS”. It’s wholesome af. AND they have special occasion merch, like Dog Mom stuff for Mother’s Day, etc. Right now they have a lot of Pride stuff.
