Fueled by coffee. Inspired by animals. Driven by purpose.
we're on a mission
My Barking Life is where art, advocacy, and altruism come together in service of animals and the people who love them. Every piece of art, every resource, and every act of giving is rooted in one simple belief: when we lead with creativity and compassion, we can make life better for animals in meaningful, everyday ways.
ARTWORK
Whether it's a coffee-themed doodle, a stunning wall portrait that'll look perfect when framed and hanging on the wall in any room in your home, or a cozy hoodie to wear with your favorite pair of jeans, nothing will delight you like custom art from My Barking Life.
ADVOCACY
Being an advocate for your dog means more than just meeting their basic needs — it means stepping up for the safety and well-being of every dog in the community. You play a vital role in creating safer, calmer public spaces for everyone.
ALTRUISM
Altruism isn’t an afterthought at My Barking Life — it’s what fills our cup. We give back to and support organizations that protect, care for, and advocate for vulnerable animals. Together, we can create real, tangible change for pets who need it most.
THE SPAWTLIGHT
This is where we shine a light on some pretty awesome Ohio pups that have been hanging out in a rescue or shelter for far too long. If you're looking for a new family member, check 'em out.
Enid, Cookie Monster, and Layla have all been in the care of the Tuscarawas County Humane Society, located in New Philadelphia, OH, for more than 30 days. I'm sure they would love nothing more than to land in a warm bed in a forever home this year. Interested? Contact information is below:
