Rescue Spotlight

We’re just launching this program and looking for our first featured rescue. Once or twice a year, Canine Brain Games features a local rescue or nonprofit for a full month and donates 10% of that month’s sales to its work. Adopters get a head start at home, too.

Two ways we support rescues

Adoption day is just the beginning. The first weeks at home bring new routines and a lot of learning for dogs and their guardians. We want to support the organizations who make those matches, and the families who take dogs home.

Rescue Spotlight Month

One month. One rescue. 10% of sales donated.

We feature your organization across our website, social media, and email for the month, and we donate 10% of that month’s sales to your work.

  • A featured month with a donation from CBG
  • Optional: earmark funds for a medical fund, education, or adoption support
  • A donation total shared with you after the month ends
  • Ready-to-post captions, images, and a co-branded graphic

Support for Adopters

Enrichment for the first weeks at home.

Newly adopted dogs and their guardians get step-by-step science-based enrichment through the Barkive, our online library built for more engagement, interaction, and adventure at home.

  • Your organization earns $5 for every newly adopted dog whose family signs up for the Barkive.
  • Their family gets $5 off the Barkive for the first 3 months.

How the spotlight works

  1. Get in touch

    Tell us about your rescue or nonprofit and the work you’d like the spotlight to support.

  2. Share the spotlight

    During your month, share the feature with your community on social media and email. We send everything you need.

  3. Receive your donation

    After the month ends, we share the donation total with you and send the donation.

We spotlight one rescue at a time, so spots are limited and we can’t guarantee a particular month. During your month, we ask that you clearly note to your community that CBG is donating to your organization.

Frequently asked questions

Is this program new?

Yes. We’re just launching the Rescue Spotlight and looking for our first featured rescue. If you reach out now, we’ll talk through what a spotlight month could look like for your organization.

Who can be spotlighted?

Local rescues and nonprofits that support dogs. We feature one organization at a time, once or twice a year, so spots are limited.

What does my organization do during the spotlight month?

Share the spotlight with your community through your social channels and email, and clearly note that Canine Brain Games is donating to your organization during the month. We provide ready-to-post captions, images, newsletter copy, and a co-branded graphic.

How is the donation calculated?

We donate 10% of Canine Brain Games’ sales for your spotlight month. Sales are counted after discounts, and exclude taxes, shipping costs, and Barkive signups. After the month ends, we share the donation total with you.

Can you promise a certain donation amount or number of sales?

No. The donation depends on how the month goes, so we can’t promise a specific amount, and we can’t promise the spotlight will lead to sales for either of us.

Can we choose what the donation supports?

Yes, if you’d like. You can earmark funds for a specific program, such as a medical fund, education, or adoption support.

What is the Barkive?

The Barkive is our online enrichment library, with step-by-step, science-based activities and guidance to bring more engagement, interaction, and adventure into everyday life with a dog.

How does the adopter offer work?

For every newly adopted dog whose family signs up for the Barkive, your organization earns $5, and the family gets $5 off the Barkive for their first 3 months.

Does the Barkive offer only happen during the spotlight month?

No. The two parts are separate. The Spotlight Month is a once-or-twice-a-year feature, and Support for Adopters is how your guardians can get started with the Barkive.

Who do I contact with other questions?
