Be our MVP (most valuable pet-lover) this month!

You’ve heard of March Madness, where college basketball teams compete, but have you heard of March MATCHness?! (Probably not, because we just invented it.) This March, we’re asking supporters like you to team up with colleagues and enlist the help of your employer’s matching gifts program! Let’s double donations for a great cause!

Raise $5,000 as a team and win a Yappy Hour for your workplace!

Plus, any employer who partners with Pets In Need and reaches a combined total donation of $5,000 or more (including employee contributions and employer-matched gifts) will receive a Yappy Hour for their workplace!

A Yappy Hour is a one-hour event where Pets In Need brings adoptable animals to your workplace or another dog-friendly location. These events offer a chance for team bonding, stress relief, and engagement with our mission. Participants will learn more about Pets In Need’s work—and might even meet their future pet!

Help pets meet their match, too!

March Matchness isn’t just about maximizing donations—it’s also about helping pets find loving homes. Whether you're looking for a loyal dog, a playful kitten, or a gentle rabbit, our team is here to help you meet your perfect match. By adopting, you’re giving a pet a second chance and making space for us to rescue even more animals in need.

How does it work?

If your employer offers a matching gift program, they will match donations you make to eligible nonprofits like Pets In Need. While each company has its own process, the general steps include:

  1. You donate to Pets In Need.

  2. You submit a matching gift request through your employer’s designated process.

  3. Your employer matches your gift, amplifying your contribution to help homeless animals.

Bonus: If your company reaches $5,000 in gifts, you’ll win a Yappy Hour!

Spread the Love: Share this campaign with your colleagues and community to help us connect more pets with loving homes.
