About Us

“A dog is not a thing. A thing is replaceable. A dog is not. A thing is disposable. A dog is not. A thing doesn’t have a heart. A dog’s heart is bigger than any “thing” you can ever own.” ― Elizabeth Parker, Paw Prints in the Sand
Dog lovers deserve a simple, bold way to stand up for animals in need—and real change starts with everyday people wearing their values "on their sleeve." At Talk Dog To Me, we turn apparel into tools for awareness, and action.
Every time someone reads the logo on your shirt/sweater and stops to talk about what it means, you've started a conversation that matters.
And every time you make a purchase, 5% of the profits go to organizations that directly help dogs who are victims of puppy mills in Wisconsin.

Meet Karen
Fed up with the fact that puppy mills still exist in the state of Wisconsin, Karen established Talk Dog To Me in 2022. A professional petsitter and owner of Karen's K9 Pet Care, LLC, she is passionate about animals. Karen loves nothing more than connecting with dog owners and advocates: "Nothing brings me more joy than when people 'Talk dog to me!' "
