our standards

We started this mission as a labor of love, and it remains as such. We refuse to compromise the well being of dogs for a few bucks. We reject companies that don't look out for dogs' best interest, and are not shy about saying no to companies that have requested to be on our series, but have proven to be less than dog friendly. This includes sites promoting the sale of puppies, companies with links to pro-greyhound racing info and others. Over the years, our founder has consistently fostered positive change on behalf of animals, through technology, literary works, social projects and more. Read highlights of our founder's projects. We welcome the following types of companies: Stores and other businesses that allow dogs on the premises Parks that allow dogs Housing and apartment complexes that allow dogs Employers that allow dogs to come to work Businesses that offer products to improve dogs' lives and our lives wih them - holistic food, healthy treats, beds, etc. Companies that support animal shelters or other rescue efforts People who provide services to enhance the well being of dogs and / or their human caretakers. Restaurants, cafes, etc. that allow dogs Any other business that can demonstrate that they are honestly dog friendly We growl at (will not accept) the following types of companies: Pet stores / stores that sell dogs Backyard breeders or any other company that treats dogs like commodities Companies that sell obviously unhealthy or unsafe products Any other business that is not honestly dog friendly The only associated charge is a small subscription fee that secures your spots in the network, and entitles you to continued promo. The monthly fee (or reduced yearly fee) also allows you the option to send your company news for posting on the sites and blogs, allowing you more visibility. There is no setup fee, convenience fee, or any other fee. Your subscription will renew at the end of your cycle, assuming we all get along of course. You can unsubscribe at any time with no penalty.
