SpotOn Gives
Celebrating Innovation in Animal Welfare
Driven by a strong commitment to animal well-being and a passion for making a difference, SpotOn and our founders have contributed over $1.5 million to animal welfare organizations—including $350,000 in grants awarded through the SpotOn Gives program since it launched in 2024.
SpotOn’s mission is rooted in supporting dogs and their people. Preference will be given to organizations that focus on canine welfare. Our goal is to help animals thrive in their communities by supporting the dedicated groups working on the front lines of rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible pet care.
SpotOn Gives
SpotOn Fence’s mission is to create a better life for dogs by letting them run free safely. Thanks to the support of our customers and the growth of our business, we have launched SpotOn Gives, a give-back program dedicated to supporting organizations that enhance the lives of animals in their communities.
To celebrate SpotOn GPS Fence's 5th anniversary, SpotOn Gives awarded $50,000 grants to five non-profit animal welfare organizations in 2024.
Our GPS dog fence product was designed to ensure the well-being of animals by allowing them to roam freely while staying safe. Now, through SpotOn Gives, we are committed to partnering with animal welfare organizations to further enhance the lives of animals.

Announcing the 2025 SpotOn Gives Grant Recipients
Congratulations to the outstanding recipients of the 2025 SpotOn Gives Grant!
This category is intended for well-established organizations that have a significant operational scope, professional staff, and the capacity to manage larger-scale animal welfare operations. These organizations may have dedicated staff, including grant writers, and infrastructure to support a wide range of rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
This category is for smaller, grassroots organizations that may operate with limited staff and resources. These organizations tend to be volunteer-driven or operate with minimal paid staff and may focus on a specific geographic area, or breed.
This category supports organizations that train, care for, and place working and service dogs, including those for individuals with disabilities, as well as K9 units in law enforcement and military.
This category supports New Hampshire-based nonprofits that share our commitment to helping animals and strengthening our local community. As a company that manufactures in NH, we’re proud to give back to organizations making a difference close to home.
