our "pet" projects

Giving Back to the Community

We designed and set up two online stores that feature our designs as well as our nature photography. We donate all proceeds to Frederick County Animal Control, Frederick, Maryland, the county's only shelter.

The online stores offer a wide selection of customizable merchandise for dog lovers and cat lovers as well as products for other pet lovers (iguana, hamsters and birds). These items make great gifts and feature digital color photos of local shelter animals!
