Donations & Business Support

A little heart goes a long way

For the dogs who make us who we are.

The head tilt you know by heart. The paws that follow you from room to room. That unmistakable feeling of being their person.

We’re building Heart of the Breed to put that love into art you’re proud to wear—and a community where every breed belongs. Your support helps us build it with care, one breed at a time.

Voluntary support for our independent, for-profit business. Contributions are not tax-deductible charitable donations.

There’s real work behind every design

Not just a dog on a shirt.
Your kind of dog.

Our ambition is to celebrate 400+ dog breeds with the attention each deserves. Your support helps give that work room to grow.

01 / THE ART

The details that say,
“That’s my dog.”

Researching each breed’s expression, build, coat colors and character. Developing distinctive artwork, revisiting the details and listening to the people who know these dogs best.

02 / THE SHIRT

Something you’ll love
to reach for.

Ordering and reviewing physical samples for fabric, fit, print detail and wash performance. A beautiful screen preview is only the beginning; the shirt has to earn its place in your wardrobe.

03 / THE POSSIBILITIES

More ways to make
it feel like yours.

Building toward more breed designs and thoughtful personalization, while developing the journal, website and community that bring us together. Customization is part of the work ahead.

The Newfoundland, in the moments that matter

Big hearts. A world of expression.

The joyful splash. The quiet lean. The invitation to play. The peace of being close. We’re developing artwork around the little moments that make you smile and say, “That’s my kind of dog.”

To the people helping us build this

You’re part of the heart of it.

We know a dog is never “just a dog.” They’re the hello at the door, the steady presence on a hard day, and the little personality that changes a whole home.

That’s the feeling we want this brand to carry. When you support Heart of the Breed, you help make space for the research, revisions, samples and everyday effort behind it.

Whether you contribute, share a story or simply tell another dog person about us, we appreciate you. You don’t have to give to belong here. You already do.

With heart, Heart of the Breed

A few honest answers

Give with a clear heart.

What will my support help fund?

Contributions support the development and general operating costs of Heart of the Breed, including artwork, physical samples, the website and community. They are not held in a charitable fund or assigned to a specific project, and we don’t promise a particular allocation or release date.

Is this a charitable donation?

No. This is voluntary support for a for-profit business. We are not a charity or a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and contributions are not tax-deductible charitable donations. This page does not raise money for a rescue, shelter, breed club or other nonprofit.

Does a contribution include a shirt or a custom design?

No. A contribution is separate from a product purchase and does not include goods, ownership, investment returns, customization, or feature priority. Apparel will be sold through available product listings as designs are completed and reviewed.

Can I help in another way?

Absolutely. Request your breed, share the journal, join the launch list below, or add your voice to the Heart Pack community. Your enthusiasm and thoughtful feedback help us understand what matters to the people we’re building this for.

A little encouragement can travel a long way. Help another dog person find their place here.
