Giving Back
Our family is committed to giving back to the community and to those who have touched our lives. This business was started to help us be able to give consumers a great product while using the proceeds to give to individuals that are touched by the lives of pets. Both owners have backgrounds in education and that is one area of focus. There is so much we can do collectively and with the proceeds from our business we will be able to help those in need. Below is a list of organizations, foundations, or charitible events that would benefit from your support or donations. Please view the sites for a greater understanding of the causes and their desires to make a difference.
The Barkley House Barkley House will be a guest house at the University of Missouri Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for animal patients and their families. Entirely funded through private donations, Barkley House will be a place where pets undergoing long-term treatment and their owners can enjoy compassion, care, and camaraderie.

Second Chance with Saving Grace is a Non-profit organization founded by Diane. Diane was diagnosed with a rare blood clotting and bone disease called cryoglobulinemia. Gracie a rescued Italian Greyhound helps Diane as a medical support dog. As a team they work together to make a positive difference in the world by visiting schools, children in hospitals, prisoners, churches and other organizations with their message of HOPE, survival, and over-coming difficult challenges!
Through Project Cuddle, they use an outreach program that connects with at-risk children suffering from abuse, abandonment, illness or those who are hurting in any way. Gracie, Paul and Diane mail and/or hand-deliver “Love Kits” to those in need.
To help support them and their efforts please go to: www.dianedike.org
Pet Quenchers is the official drinking water of Gracie the Service Dog!
We would also like to help create scholarships for service dogs that work with individuals with special needs, students graduating from high school with special needs and/or agriculture majors, plus helping those in the community that need items from backpacks to health care.
