This store started with a joke that only made sense to people who've fostered or volunteered with a shelter dog: the varsity jacket that should exist for a "training team" of one. It grew from there.

Every design comes out of real fostering and volunteer work with NYC shelter dogs, dogs figuring out leashes, new homes, new people, sometimes all three at once. If you've ever introduced a dog by explaining what they're still working on, packed treats like ammunition, or driven across town for a dog you don't even own yet, this is for you.

10% of every sale goes directly to municipal shelters to support the animals currently in their care. The rest goes back into my volunteering and fostering: food and supplies for dogs between shelter and home, transport to vet appointments, and to volunteer events and adoption days where they can actually be seen.

This store isn't affiliated with any shelter, training program, or certification. It's a dog lady making shirts, investing money back into the dogs.

Buy a shirt, help a dog you'll never meet get one step closer to someone who will.
