About

Our Mission

Founded as an information clearinghouse, DogDaddy’s mission is all about your dog’s health, well being, and happiness. Our goal is to have fun with our dogs and our families. Anyone who has a dog knows that they are the most direct way to our hearts, rewarding us with a fuller, healthier, and richer life than we could imagine.

DogDaddy Fests are bringing that “sense of community” back to the region by promoting community participation and helping local food pantries and also bringing that same passion and “sense of community” to the world with our International Rescue Crawl livestream events and international dogfood drive featured on Dogdaddytv.org and Vivalivetv.com (channel 17) the premier international livestream channel.

Our Committment

DogDaddy.org, Inc. organization is a 501(c)3 national non-profit and was founded in 2008 as an information clearinghouse for the dog-loving community. This organization was founded in honor of my kids/pups, Hershey, Sage, Siggy and Jake.

In 2010 we initiated the first Dogdaddy Festival adoption which was created as a fundraising and adoption platform for rescues and shelters in need. In 2011 we received our National 501(c)3 status from the IRS.

We have created the DogDaddy Festival (regional events) and Rescue Crawl (international livestream events) which host high profile dog adoption events regionally, nationally and internationally and help to support numerous local national and international canine rescues and shelters. Our DogDaddy Festival combines everything from entertainment, food and shopping, to educational booths, renowned guest lecturers and adoption proceedings.

About the Founder: Dave Decker

My first dog/son was a magnificent 120 lb. giant chocolate lab named Hershey. He helped me through a terrible series of events spanning over several years of my life. While walking Hershey, some folks would stop me and say at first they mistook him for a small brown bear. He would walk around town with a lumbering gentle nature and the kids loved him, without hesitation. Hershey exuded kindness and unconditional love. He patiently taught me about dogs and nature as dogs do, when we pay attention to them. I believe that Dogs are our teachers and guides that show us how to have fun and play, as well as teaching us kindness, empathy and unconditional love.

To my boys Hershey and Sage. I have done all of this in your honor, for you saved my life.

I will love and miss you both forever,
Your Dad.

Dogdaddy believes dogs are our guides and teachers, leading us towards treating others as they should be treated, with respect, kindness, honesty, empathy and unconditional love.
