According to The Economist, worldwide spending on pets is more than $300 BILLION!
Dog populations in shelters have surged by almost 1 million since 2021, and more than 359,000 dogs were euthanized in 2023, marking a five-year peak. Unfortunately, many dogs who were gladly adopted during the pandemic have been returned by owners who were impacted by inflation and could no longer afford food or often expensive medical care for their new pets. This is especially sad for a dog to be returned, possibly killed for no reason but cost.
To address this urgent need, award-winning filmmaker Victoria Larimore created DOGS! Waiting to Be Loved, and she’s put together an incredible team of the best folks in film, music, and the nonprofit (charity) world to bring it to life! You can help save these precious pups by investing in our film, as we pledge 15% of the film’s profits to charities that help dogs, including No-Kill shelters and groups involved in the rescue and adoption of dogs. We will also donate to groups that help the people dogs serve: veterans, first responders, the disabled, and the elderly.
Box Office Revenues ONLY, 2022 (in US Dollars) (NOT including VOD, DVD, TV, soundtrack or any other ancillary markets)
Countries that spend the most on their dogs (Britain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, S. Korea, Singapore, China and India) are also big movie goers!
Targeting social media, PR and distribution, we will maximize reach to these dog-lovers.

Our offering gives you a stake in the film alongside us, as our Equity Partners! The Equity Partner pool waterfall is as follows:
Once senior debt (if any), marketing and distribution costs are settled, revenue distribution begins. First:
The budget will be comprised of equity sponsorship, product integration or other "free money" opportunities. We will also take advantage of the State Film Tax Incentive, which may be used to close any budget gap or if not needed for that, will become revenue back to the film, flowing back to our Equity Partners, pro-rata.
Although no investment can be guaranteed, we believe this approach to a film with such worldwide appeal will be successful.
