Nationwide Hunt Launches to Rescue Long-Term Shelter Dog Duane "Dog" Chapman Leads 30-Day Scavenger Hunt Across 15,000 Shelters
A nation wide scavenger hunt with Dog the Bounty Hunter to find the longest resident dog in a shelter to get it adopted and bring awareness to the animal crisis.
Safety Harbor, FL, March 30, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Nationwide Hunt Kicks Off
Starting April 1, a groundbreaking nationwide scavenger hunt will launch, led by legendary bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman. The event spans more than 15,000 animal shelters and rescue organizations across the United States, with the singular goal of locating one dog who has spent an incredible 15 years inside a shelter kennel.
A Puzzle Hunt for Change
This 30-day national puzzle hunt, designed by escape-room experts, will unfold through daily clues released throughout April. Participants are challenged to collaborate with Dog the Bounty Hunter to track down the location of America’s longest-held shelter dog. The hunt culminates on National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, powered by a growing Patreon movement that is raising millions to support animal shelters.
A Movement for Shelter Pets
This initiative is more than a puzzle—it is a national movement intended to build momentum, raise awareness, and inspire action leading to National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day on April 30, 2026. The day is dedicated to giving overlooked animals the second chance they deserve.
Spotlight on Long-Term Shelter Residents
Across the U.S., tens of thousands of dogs wait in shelters for homes. Some are adopted in weeks, others wait months, but heartbreakingly, some wait years. Somewhere in America, a dog has spent 15 years behind kennel bars. Beginning April 1, the public is invited to join Dog the Bounty Hunter and the Jordan’s Way community in solving a nationwide puzzle to reveal this dog’s identity and location, shining a spotlight on long-term shelter residents ahead of National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day.
Daily Clues and Immersive Experiences
Each day during the scavenger hunt, new clues will be released, crafted by professional escape-room designers renowned for immersive puzzle experiences. The hunt will continue until the mystery dog is found, with the ultimate goal of transforming awareness into real adoptions across the country.
