My parents, Russ and Danielle, have always loved animals, and in 2016 they adopted me, Luigi. After adopting me, they wanted to do more to help other animals in need. They also wanted to be creative about it. The question that loomed over them was: how?
At the end of 2017, Russ (a.k.a. Daddy or "treat dispenser"), a full-time graphic designer, drew an illustration of me, and when it was finished he thought, “this would make a cute pin.” From that idea came the idea to create a whole line of collectible animal pins that could be sold. A portion of those proceeds would then be donated to a charity, or charities, that support animals in need. And thus, Paw-pins was formed.
Their plan is to make 1-2 new limited release Paw-pins available each month. For each Paw-pin sold, they will donate $1.00 to a charity that helps animals in need.
Thank you so much for checking out my parents’ project and we all hope you enjoy collecting Paw-pins.

Donations will be made every 4 months. The amount donated will be based on the number of Paw-pins sold during the previous 4 month period. The donations will be going to charities that help animals in need or other animal-related charities. When a donation is made we will announce it and announce the charity we donated to.
