EVERY PURCHASE HELPS FEED PUPS IN NO-KILL SHELTERS

❤️ The Heart Behind Paws & Purpose

❤️ The Heart Behind Paws & Purpose

Julie Prellwitz · October 17, 2025

At Paws & Purpose, we believe love is best shown through action — and sometimes, through what we wear.

What started as one pup’s unconditional love quickly became a movement. Inspired by Clyde — our loyal, goofy best friend — we set out to create apparel that celebrates the bond between people and their dogs while giving back to pups still waiting for their forever homes.

Each shirt and hoodie is designed with purpose. Every purchase helps provide meals for dogs in no-kill shelters across the country.

When you wear Paws & Purpose, you’re not just expressing love for your own dog — you’re sharing it forward. Shop the Collection →

💛 Wear the Love. Share the Purpose.
