Why I am a Corporate Partner: Rhonda Klug

1. We have three dogs, including two rescues, in our household who are there for me no matter what. I was drawn to DBL because they care about the life of the rescue dogs and the people they serve.
2. I have a passion for philanthropy, both personally and professionally, and a love for dogs! In 2019, my employer, Harry & David, helped support the placement of an Autism Assistance Dog in the home of a child with autism in Southern Oregon, and I knew a corporate partnership with them could make a significant impact.
3. I’m really impressed with the DBL team—the time and attention they give to each assistance dog and their effort to place them in the perfect home.
4. I love that DBL not only saves shelter dogs; they also save people’s outlook on life too!
5. Fundraising is an important part of DBL’s efforts as recipients do not have to pay for their dogs. Because of this, I enjoy getting behind these campaigns that forever better the lives of both the dogs and the owners!
