Initiative enables Dogecoin donations through MoonPay Commerce to support dogs in need
MIAMI, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — House of Doge Inc., along with merger partner Brag House Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: TBH), MoonPay, and the Dogecoin Foundation, today announced they are launching a fundraiser with the AKC® Humane Fund to support its programs dedicated to protecting and improving the lives of dogs across the United States.
To kick off the campaign, House of Doge, MoonPay, and the Dogecoin Foundation have collectively contributed 1 million $DOGE, demonstrating a shared commitment to advancing canine welfare through community-driven innovation.
“This campaign brings Dogecoin’s purpose to life,” said Marco Margiotta, CEO of House of Doge. “By enabling Dogecoin-powered donations for a cause that directly supports dogs, we’re creating a meaningful connection between our community and making a real-world impact.”
To support the initiative, MoonPay is also enabling Dogecoin as a payment option powered by MoonPay Commerce. Supporters can donate directly in Dogecoin or other supported crypto assets. Donations can be made at https://akchumanefund.org/giving/.
“Dogs have always brought out the best in us. Now, with a little help from the Doge community, they are bringing out the best in crypto too. We are proud to partner with the AKC and the Dogecoin Foundation to turn $DOGE into real world impact, powered by MoonPay Commerce,” said Keith A. Grossman, President of MoonPay.
The AKC Humane Fund is a charitable affiliate of the American Kennel Club and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to protecting and improving the lives of dogs across the country. It provides organizational grants to support essential programs, including domestic violence shelter assistance for pet owners and their dogs, as well as rescue efforts for vulnerable dogs. The Fund also provides grants to organizations that help owners access critical veterinary care for their pets, particularly those facing financial hardship or crisis situations. Through its work, the AKC Humane Fund advances responsible dog ownership and strengthens the bond between dogs and the people who love them.
Guided by its core ethos of Do Only Good Everyday, Dogecoin has long been associated with charitable giving and community impact. This campaign reflects that spirit by channeling support directly toward organizations making a tangible difference in the lives of dogs.
“Dogecoin has always been about community and doing good,” said Tim Stebbing, Director of the Dogecoin Foundation. “Supporting dogs through the AKC Humane Fund is a natural extension of that ethos, and we’re excited to see the community rally behind this initiative.”
“At the AKC Humane Fund, we believe every dog deserves care, safety, and a chance to thrive with their owners,” said Brandi Munden, President of the AKC Humane Fund. “This relationship introduces new, innovative ways for people to support that mission and expand our impact. We’re proud to work alongside organizations committed to making a meaningful difference for various causes across the country.”
