About Us

Born from a son's love of dogs and a mom's dream of creating meaningful opportunities for young adults with special abilities; this project is built on love, lots of laughter, and homemade goodness. We create healthy, all-natural treats and gifts for dogs. Each batch is baked and packed with extra love and plenty of joy. And every purchase made provides independence and purpose for someone with special needs.

Our Beliefs and Mission:

We believe dogs make life better.

We believe laughter belongs in every kitchen.

We believe meaningful work should be built around people’s strengths.

We believe every dog deserves healthy treats.

We believe kindness is never wasted.

We believe joy is contagious.

And we believe the best ideas sometimes begin with one young man, two silver Labs, and a dream.

Our mission is simple…to spread joy, celebrate life with Down Syndrome, and make tails wag along the way.

Thank you for stopping by.
We’re so glad you’re here!
