MoonPay, the Dogecoin Foundation, and its corporate arm House of Doge collectively donated 1 million DOGE—roughly $95,000 worth—to the AKC Humane Fund on Monday, enabling ongoing crypto donations to the dog welfare charity through MoonPay's payment infrastructure.

The contribution will fund shelter assistance for pet owners affected by domestic violence, stray dog rescues, and veterinary support for families facing financial hardship across the United States. (Disclosure: MoonPay Ventures is an investor in Dastan, the parent company of an editorially independent Decrypt.)

"This campaign brings Dogecoin's purpose to life," said House of Doge CEO Marco Margiotta, in a statement. "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."

The partnership extends beyond the initial donation, with MoonPay Commerce processing future crypto contributions—in Dogecoin or other assets—to the AKC Humane Fund. MoonPay President Keith Grossman positioned the initiative as a milestone for crypto adoption.



"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," Grossman said in a statement. "We are proud to partner with the AKC and the Dogecoin Foundation to turn DOGE into real-world impact, powered by MoonPay Commerce."

Dogecoin is the original and still most valuable meme coin, recently trading at a price of $0.095 and ranking as the 10th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. While created as a joke, Dogecoin has persisted largely on the back of good vibes, with some community members trumpeting the acronymic ethos, “Do only good every day.”

"Dogecoin has always been about community and doing good," said Dogecoin Foundation Director Tim Stebbing, in a statement. "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."
