Our Fundraising Goal

We are working to raise $50,000 to support the expansion and sustainability of Herzog’s Heroes, and we need your help to make it happen! Here's where your support will make an impact:

  • Operational Growth: Our monthly overhead covers the basic needs of our organization, allowing us to continue our work. With increased funding, we’ll be able to extend our efforts and reach more people and dogs in need.

  • HCBA Breeder Certification Program: This certification is vital in promoting accountability and transparency among breeders. By supporting this program, you're helping to establish higher standards for responsible breeding, ultimately preventing dogs from ending up in shelters.

  • Online Breeder Directory: We’re developing an innovative breeder directory to set new standards for responsible breeding. This platform will help showcase ethical breeders, giving potential dog owners confidence in their choice and raising awareness of conscientious breeding practices.

  • Event Costs and Program Expansion: Funds raised will also help us cover the costs of events and allow us to continue expanding our programs, reaching more dogs, breeders, and owners.

Your contribution not only helps us cover essential operational costs but also supports impactful programs that are changing the landscape of dog breeding for the better. Join us in reaching our goal of $50,000 and become a part of this transformative movement!
