DogTrekker was introduced earlier this year to Muttville, San Francisco’s senior and special needs rescue organization. The four-year-young organization, founded by Sherri Franklin, has the mission of changing the way the world thinks about and treats older dogs, and to create better lives for them thorough rescue, foster, adoption and hospice. DogTrekker attended this year's annual fundraiser, Moolah for Mutts: Night of 1,000 Mutts, which took on special significance as Muttville celebrated senior dog rescue #1,000!

Every year, the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society (BEBHS) holds a fundraising event for dogs and their uprights called Bay to Barkers. This year’s 14th Annual Bay to Barkers was held on July 31st, and added over $20,000 in donations to continue to assist in rebuilding the BEBHS offices and shelter that were destroyed by a devastating fire in the spring of 2010. DogTrekker attended this year's Bay to Barkers that was held at the north parking lot of Golden Gate Fields in Albany.

On Saturday, July 23rd, The Marin Humane Society held their 2nd Annual 'Paw Prints' fundraising event at McInnis Park in San Rafael. DogTrekker's Research Lab, Kayla, was on hand for the event along with many other dog-passionate providers of services, nutritional products, art and more. Over 110 registrants participated, raising more than $35,000, twice as much as the inaugural year.
