GIVING BACK

At My Barking Life, it's not just about cute art and coffee-fueled dog doodles — it’s about making a difference for animals who need a little extra love. That’s why I jumped at the chance to join the Board of Directors at a newly formed 501(c)(3): Toby's Pack: K9 Rehab & Rehoming Center. Our mission is to rehabilitate at-risk dogs with moderate behavior issues and give them a second chance at life in a forever home.

We're not just another rescue group or shelter for unwanted pets. We want to work with owners to proactively help dogs with debilitating anxiety, chronic leash reactivity, and even a history of fear biting before they become another sad statistic.

Our goal will always be to save one dog — the dog in front of us. Despite human interaction history, breed, or past transgressions, that one dog deserves a chance to be his or her best self.

If you’ve enjoyed my free doodles or just want to do something good, I invite you to make a donation, apply to be a foster, volunteer, or just share the posts of our work. We can be heroes — just for one dog.
