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.
