There's nothing quite like the bond between human & pet. As someone born with paw prints on my heart, I get it! In April 2014, I became involved with animal rescue as a volunteer transport driver, and became more aware of the challenges shelters and rescues face every day. And I mean EVERY DAY! Rescue does not take a day off, does not close for holidays, does not take a vacation - it's 24/7 nonstop. Abuse, neglect, homelessness happens all day every day. The time, energy, and passion these volunteers expend to save lives (whether it's one life or 100) never ceases to amaze me. And yes, I said volunteer. Most of the people involved in rescue do not get paid. In fact, most have jobs and do this on the side! Most shelters and rescues operate on a shoestring budget (usually in debt), relying on donations from compassionate, kindhearted folks. Their level of dedication and commitment to this life-saving effort is undeniable. As the saying goes, it takes a village, and truly it does. No one does this alone. It is a coordinated effort of rescues, shelters, volunteers, fosters, transporters, donors, adopters, networkers and educators. To see it in action is to witness a miracle of the heart.

All of the people and pets I've met in the rescue community, as well as my own motley crew, are the inspiration for my creations. My mission with this project is to offer creative, quality, value products that:
• express the love and dedication we feel for our pets
• raise awareness of rescue organizations and their efforts
• help rescues and shelters raise funds for their work

I know it’s all about the animals! I also know it takes money to save lives. That’s why I want to partner with shelters, rescues and YOU to Paw It Forward. Every sale generates funds for animal rescue. THANK YOU for making a difference! This makes my heart wag! Did you know a dog wags it’s heart with it’s tail? Yup, scientifically proven… er, something involving treats… Woof!
