I always thought "someone should do something" when it comes to dog rescue shelters; we decided that we should be that someone! So we started our own online store selling merch with mainly dog based themes, some of which we have designed ourselves. Our aim is to do really well, and to donate a minimum of 5% of our yearly profits to dog rescue shelters; so when you are drinking from your mug or wearing your Tee, or using one of our other amazing products, you can take comfort in the knowledge that you have played a part in helping animals in need. We are also strongly opposed to the BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) part of the Dangerous Dogs Act in Great Britain, and actively campaign against it.

BSL is a cruel and unnecessary legislation that allows councils or police to seize - take from their loving family homes - any dog they deem LOOKS a particular way, as in looks like they might be a Pit Bull type dog. These dogs have never harmed anyone and are not deemed dangerous, they simply look a certain way. The dogs are taken from their family homes and kept in secret kennels whilst they are assessed, and even if deemed safe, which often takes months, when they are eventually returned to their owners they have to muzzled and kept on a lead at all times when away from their home - even though they have been deemed safe! Some dogs have been taken and kept for two years - as in the case of Lennox (link at the bottom) whilst his family fought and fought for his return, with even the Northern Irish Prime Minister and renowned dog trainer Victoria Stilwell advocating on his behalf; sadly Lennox was killed without his family even being given the chance to see him one last time. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/an-outrage-in-belfast-the_b_1504739
