Allow us to introduce Spot’s Circle, the accumulation of our various efforts to give back to the California communities that have welcomed us with open hearts. We believe in supporting our community, and this value has been part of our core since Healthy Spot’s inception in 2008. With your support and the collaboration of wonderful local organizations, we’ve turned this goal into a constant commitment to make a difference in the lives of both pets and people with Spot’s Circle.
Through efforts like our Round-Up program, fundraising events and donation drives, we’ve given thousands to help support pets in need, whether homeless, rehabilitating or a member of a loving family in a less fortunate situation. We’ve also helped people by donating in-kind goods and services to non-profits' fundraising events, and teaming up with organizations like LA LGBT Center, The People Concern and Black Girls CODE. Additionally, our Rescue Spot Program gives a helping hand to pawrents of newly-adopted rescues as a thank you for welcoming them into your home.
How can you help give back through our Spot’s Circle program?
- Round-Up Relief: When making a purchase at your local Spot, you have the option to round up your total to the nearest dollar. The difference will be donated to our Round-Up Partner. While our Round-Up partners change monthly, what they all have in common is that they’re a local organization working to help pets in need, people in need or both! Together, your small change makes a big difference.
- Pet Supply Donations: We’ve teamed up with Operation Blankets of LOVE to collect various pet supplies and essentials for local rescues at select Healthy Spot locations. Learn more about where and what to donate here.
- Rescue Spot Program: We’re constantly working with local rescues to assist rescued dogs and cats in finding their furever homes. To help inspire more adoptions and smooth the transition as a pet family, we’ve created a Rescue Spot Welcome Pack for adopters as their new fur baby settles in. Get yours here.

Muttville: Muttville Senior Dog Rescue is a first-in-the-nation cage-free facility dedicated to giving senior dogs a second chance. With the belief that no dog should have to spend their last days in a shelter, they take in and care for dogs as they help find them the most loving and perfect home.

The Rescue Train: This Los Angeles organization is coming up on 20 years of gaining the rights of animals in need and finding them a family to provide the care they deserve. They also host Race For The Rescues, an annual fundraiser for non-profit animal welfare organizations and mobile adoption events for the Southern California community.
Wags & Walks: For the past 10 years, the Wags & Walks team has worked to revise what people think of dogs when they hear the word “rescue.” Through temperament evaluations and awesome care and training, they help rescued dogs find the right home for their individual needs and character.
We cannot wait to meet all the new fur-iends and families through our Rescue Spot Program, and we’re thrilled to expand our philanthropic work with organizations working to make a difference within our California communities.
