Puppies with a Purpose

In Summer of 2015, CVL made the commitment to donate $100 per puppy’s purchase price to different ministries and organizations that we support around the world. Our family has a direct relationship with each organization so you may trust that each group has been thoroughly vetted and is accountable. We will be sharing in this way instead of donating individual dogs in the future. It allows our CVL families to be part of the process. When you prepare to take your puppy home, we send a note to you letting you know about the ministry your puppy purchase is able to bless. What an honor for us!

Deeper Insights into the Ministries that CVL blesses:

Romania is near and dear to our hearts. The people are so resilient as they work to rebuild their country post-Communism. We will be supporting The Bethel House, an orphanage in Giorgiu, Romania. The children that live their are truly a family and are so thankful for the smallest gestures. It is a true gift to be able to bless them. We will also be funding a college scholarship through The Evergreen Foundation for a student to attend college in Bucharest! Our hearts were also moved by the many pastors serving the people of Romania and we will be helping Missio Link, International as they provide salaries for these pastors. We truly love Romania and hope that our families will learn more about this country and the ministries that we support in Romania. If your family would like to support one of our Romanian ministries we will match your gift dollar for dollar! Ask us how you can make a difference, too! www.MissioInternational.org.
