Kennel to Couch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that partners with shelters across the country to sponsor the most at-risk pit bull in each one. We put a single dog's face and story front and center, share it everywhere, and when that dog gets adopted, the family receives our Pibble Package of dog-care essentials at no cost.
Join the Pibble Press, our email community, and you're automatically entered to win a $500 PetSmart gift card. That's new beds, toys, treats, and everything on your dog's wish list.
You'll also get to meet the dogs we're sponsoring right now, hear about their adoptions, and see how you can help the next one find a home.
