Thanks to its customers, this company has donated thousands of dog meals already...

Meet Pacific Paws, a lifestyle dog gear company based out of Dallas, that donates 10 meals to dog shelters for every item purchased. By combining social consciousness with people's natural love for their pups, Pacific Paws allows consumers to have a direct impact on pups worldwide.

The goal at the company is to never let another dog go hungry by using dog gear as a vehicle for change. Every Pacific Paws item is made using a blend of sustainable fabrics handwoven in Guatem ala and assembled in Texas.

What inspired you to start Pacific Paws this year?

We know so many dog shelters in our local Dallas com m unity who struggle every month to feed and care for their pups, let alone make rent every month.

says Kassidi, co-founder of Pacific Paws.

There are a lot of pet companies focused on making quality goods but no one focused on giving back in a tangible way. We wanted to bridge the gap and not only help dogs worldwide, but make a way for our customers to help while still maintaining the same quality of goods.

It has always been our goal to bring the customer closer to their impact. Their purchase is what allows us to donate meals and help an incredible number of shelters around the nation. We want every customer to feel emotionally connected to their impact. Each customer gets a weekly update on dogs that have been helped through shelters we support which allows them to see their impact.

Pacific Paws used social media platform s such as Instagram and Pinterest to build a dedicated online following. After building their Instagram page to more than 35,000 followers in just three months of being in business — this Texas company started receiving attention from pet boutiques from around the country.

The support that we have received so far is a true testament to the innate need people have for helping animals in need." says Foy. "We just hope to build on this momentum by focusing on our core values and building our community.

Although the young company has placed a large focus on building their current community, Pacific Paws is also interested in expanding their reach. After being in business for only three months, the Dallas company is planning on launching three new products on their site by the end of the year. The products that were m entioned include leashes, collars and dog food and water bowl m ats in addition to their pet apparel.

We're just hoping to help dogs in need one meal at a time.
