About Us
Welcome! The quick answer to what we're all about is dogs. What makes us a little different is having some fun with color and design in our product line for hounds and humans. There's also a story to be told about our trademarked logo and its connection to The Year of the Dog: the head being the Chinese character for "dog", several brushstrokes added to complete the body. While we are not exclusive to this celebration occurring once every 12 years, it definitely influenced the fruition of the idea back in 2004. Stay tuned for 2018.
In addition to our product line, we're also about giving back and helping dogs and people. With this in mind, 5% of product purchases will go to the Search Dog Foundation founded by Wilma Melville in 1996. The Search Dog Foundation's mission is to strengthen disaster response in America by recruiting rescued dogs and partnering them with firefighters and other first responders to find people buried alive in the wreckage of disasters. The foundation offers the professionally trained canines and an ongoing training program at no cost to fire departments and ensures the lifetime care for every dog in their program: once rescued, these dogs never need to be rescued again. It's really a magnificent cause and story, reaching way beyond the US borders.
We invite you to join us on Facebook and spread the word. Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions, questions or the like. We'd love to hear from you. Watch for the addition of new products and in the meantime, give your dog(s) lots of love, treats and walks. They give so much and ask for so little in return. And if you can . . . Save a Dog. Save a Life. Give a Dog a Job.
Thanks for visiting The Year of the Dog.
