A Joyful Canine Community

Donte's Den provides a home-like setting and quality care for canine companions who are separated from their owners due to illness, injury, abandonment, long-term travel or military deployment.

Find Your Top Dog

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization, Donte's Den comes to the aid of abandoned dogs, providing a cheerful temporary home while working to place them with a loving family.

Unleash Your Talents

If you have love to share, please consider joining our pack of human care givers who will walk and care for the dogs, provide administrative support or join fundraising initiatives.

Join The Pack

Donte's Den is based on community: a community of dogs, a community of volunteers and a community of sponsors who provide donations to keep this haven for dogs operating. Join us today with a personal donation or corporate sponsorship.

Our Story

A loving haven for our furry friends.

Donte’s Den is the realization of a long-time dream of Founder Marsha Panuce and her late husband Don. Named for the couple’s beloved standard Schnauzer, Donte, Donte’s Den has been thoughtfully designed to be a continuation of home for canines who need it.
