Now, with the Doug the Pug Foundation, Mosier and Chianelli, who are based in Nashville, Tennessee, aim to continue the charitable work they've done in the past in partnership with organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Seacrest Studios.
The foundation will be used to "help sustain joys of childhood and alleviate financial burdens outside of treatment." Additionally, the foundation aims to help children and their families pay for therapy dogs for those in need.
"From the very first time we set foot into the children's hospital with Doug, I knew this was what his calling was," Mosier says in the foundation's launch video. "He went up to the kid in the room who needed it the most and made them smile. And they're experiences I'll keep for the rest of my life."

While COVID-19 restrictions have limited Doug's interactions with fans, Mosier, who formerly worked as a publicist in the music industry, says she sees huge potential for benefit events, such as live concerts in Nashville, dinners, dog parades, and of course, in-hospital visits.
Along with the new website, now accepting donations, and a merch store that gives 100 percent of proceeds to the nonprofit, Doug is also launching a new Instagram page where you can follow along with the foundation's good work.
As Mosier said in the launch video, "It's been a crazy year, and this is a wonderful way to end the year."
