Giving Back — Every Purchase Makes a Difference
A little more care, one order at a time.
At Paw & Pine, we believe that caring for dogs goes beyond the products we choose for our own pets.
That's why we are committed to donating 5% of eligible product purchases — $1 for every $20 spent — to support dog rescue shelters in the Dominican Republic.
Our goal is to help organizations that care for dogs in need and work toward giving them a better future.
How Our Giving Program Works
For every purchase, Paw & Pine calculates a donation equal to 5% of the product subtotal after discounts, excluding shipping and taxes.
Donation = Eligible product subtotal × 0.05
For example:
- A $20 product subtotal generates a $1 donation.
- A $50 product subtotal generates a $2.50 donation.
- A $100 product subtotal generates a $5 donation.
The contribution is proportional to the purchase amount. There is no $20 minimum purchase requirement.
Donations are funded by Paw & Pine, not added as an extra charge to your order.
Canceled orders and refunds are accounted for when calculating the final contribution.
Where the Donations Go
Our giving program is dedicated to supporting dog rescue shelters and animal welfare initiatives in the Dominican Republic.
We are identifying and verifying organizations that care for rescued dogs. We will identify participating organizations publicly only after their involvement has been confirmed.
We do not claim any shelter partnership before receiving the organization's approval.
When We Donate
We plan to distribute accumulated donations quarterly, based on completed purchases during each calendar quarter.
Our proposed reporting periods are:
- January–March
- April–June
- July–September
- October–December
Our target is to complete each quarterly donation within 30 days after the quarter ends. If recipient verification or transfer arrangements delay a contribution, we will disclose the delay and carry the amount forward until it can be transferred responsibly.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We believe that giving should be measurable and accountable.
For each completed donation, we will publish a dated record showing:
- The recipient organization.
- The donation amount in U.S. dollars.
- The donation date.
- A receipt or proof of transfer, with sensitive information removed when necessary.
As our program progresses, we will share these records here so customers can follow our contributions.
We will not publish donation totals or claim completed contributions until they can be documented.
