Every donation can help two kinds of lives

Dogust, a mashup of "Dog" and "August," is the universal birthday for all shelter and rescue dogs, a day created to give them a moment all their own. All month long we are cheering on the shelters and humane societies that care for animals across our communities. When you give blood this August, you help patients counting on a lifesaving transfusion, and you can send your Good Giving reward to a local shelter. One donation, twice the good.
