CANINE CASTAWAYS, INC.
Changing the World One Dog at a Time Since 2003!
The Giving Challenge is an exciting 24-hour giving event beginning at noon on September 20th. People who support Canine Castaways can go online and make a secure donation, helping us receive special matching dollars and grant incentives.
Last year , The Patterson Foundation matched all new donors up to $250. It was our first year participating so ALL of our donors were considered new. We raised a phenomenal total of $34,874. This year, The Patterson Foundation is matching donations from both new donors and returning donors. So, each and every person's donation can make a substantial impact and help save the life of a homeless dog.
​
