Supporting Local Dog Rescues: How Each Purchase Makes a Difference

Introduction
At Grace the Face Designs, our mission is more than just selling stylish apparel and unique accessories – it’s about making a real, positive impact on the world. One of the causes closest to our hearts is supporting local dog rescues, and every purchase you make helps us contribute to this cause. As a family-run business, we’ve seen firsthand how life-changing it can be to rescue a dog, and we want to help make that experience a reality for as many dogs as possible. Here’s how your purchase goes beyond our products and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of dogs in need.

Our Family’s Dog Rescue Story: Why Supporting Rescues is Personal to Us
At Grace the Face Designs, the mission to support dog rescues is deeply personal. We’re a family of four, and our journey with rescue dogs began many years ago with our first two rescue dogs, Zoe and Rayna.  Currently, we have two rescue dogs, Maggie (Goldendoodle) and Gracie (Catahoula mix).  While all dogs are simply awesome, Gracie makes us laugh more than others.  She was overlooked by many, but when we brought her into our lives, she changed everything for us. Gracie’s story is a reminder of the importance of adopting and rescuing dogs who need a second chance.

We’ve had four rescue dogs over the years, and each of them has brought immeasurable joy and love into our home. As educators and animal lovers, we believe that every dog deserves a loving home, and we’re committed to supporting rescues that give these dogs a fresh start. Supporting local rescues through our business is our way of paying it forward, sharing the love we’ve received from our rescue dogs, and encouraging others to consider adopting instead of buying.

The Impact of Each Purchase: How Donations Help Local Rescues
Every time you make a purchase from Grace the Face Designs, you're not just buying an item – you’re contributing to a greater cause. We are proud to donate a portion of every sale to local dog rescues. These donations help fund critical services like medical care, food, shelter, and adoption fees, all of which are vital for giving rescued dogs the care they need.

Your support helps to ensure that more dogs can find their forever homes, receive medical attention, and experience the love and care they deserve. Whether it's a hoodie, mug, or phone case, your purchase makes a direct impact. We believe that small actions can create big change, and every item purchased is a step toward helping more dogs in need.

Meet Gracie: Our Inspiration and the Face Behind the Mission
Gracie, our rescue dog, is the heart and soul of Grace the Face Designs. She’s the reason behind our business name and the driving force behind our mission to support dog rescues. Gracie’s story is one of perseverance and love, and she inspires us every day to do more.

Before we found Gracie, she had been overlooked by many families, but when we took her in, we knew she was the perfect fit for our family. Gracie’s journey with us has taught us so much about resilience, unconditional love, and the power of second chances. That’s why a portion of every sale is dedicated to supporting local rescues, so more dogs like Gracie can experience a fresh start.

Future Goals: How We Plan to Expand Our Contributions
While we’re proud of the contributions we’ve made so far, we’re committed to doing even more in the future. Our long-term goal is to increase our donations, support more rescues, and help more dogs find loving homes. We plan to feature a new rescue organization each year, posting updates about the impact of our donations and how you’re helping make a difference.

In addition to donations, we’re looking into opportunities to partner with dog rescue organizations, host fundraising events, and raise awareness about the importance of adopting rescue dogs. By working together with our customers and local rescues, we aim to create a larger community of supporters for this cause.
