Supporting Those in Napa Valley Who Do the Heavy Lifting

DogTrekker has long supported nearly 300 Napa Valley dog-friendly hotels, restaurants, wineries, attractions and local services. As part of our mission to provide local and accurate listings, engaging travel content and support for animal welfare organizations, we have also featured a number of Napa Valley adoption, rescue and shelter services, all that need financial assistance.

This year we are pleased to recommend CanDo's Napa Valley Give!Guide 2020 that supports a culture of year-end giving. This guide raises awareness of 57 local non-profits, both animal welfare related and community focused organizations. Over 2.3 million dollars has been raised through the guide in the past seven years by providing easy one-stop giving to these groups.

Read on to take a look at our Napa Valley rescue/adoption partners and to many other groups very worthy of your support. Be sure to make your donations before midnight on December 31, 2020.
