Kieran and Katie are deeply committed to giving back to the community. They discuss their dedication to supporting dog rescues and no-kill shelters, explaining how their monthly donations help save dogs’ lives and promote animal welfare.

Whether you're a dog lover, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone passionate about animal rescue, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. In this episode, we delve into: The origin story of Boobs and Barks The gap in the market for practical outdoor dog clothing The brand’s commitment to supporting dog rescues and no-kill shelters How Boobs and Barks is helping to convert kill shelters to no-kill shelters Ways listeners can contribute to the cause About Boobs and Barks: One morning Katie woke up and said "Why don't we just make our business a combination of two things that people love the most? — Dogs and boobs." She then jokingly said "We can call it boobs and barks," and the name stuck! Since we both grew up with dogs and love them dearly, we quickly came to realize that there was a lack of options for practical matching dog and human apparel, especially when it comes to outdoor activities and actually making you look good! As our company began to come to life, we continued to search our hearts, and made 3 nonnegotiable commitments: 1) We will give back to dog rescues and save dogs' lives. 2) We will give back to breast reconstruction surgery and empower women. 3) We will make everything in the USA and support the country that gave us this opportunity. ------------------------------------------------- Follow Boobs and Barks: Boobs and Barks Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow On Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow On Facebook Follow On Pinterest Follow On TikTok ------------------------------------------------- Shop Our Store!
