About Us

We’re Passionate About Dogs

At Real Barks, we believe dogs don’t just make our lives better, they make them whole. That’s why we pour our hearts into every leash, toy, clothing, and accessory we offer.

Why Dogs Deserve the Best

Our bond with dogs is universal: there are an estimated 900 million pet dogs worldwide, a testament to how deeply they enrich our lives. And in the U.S., 66% of households own a pet, with dogs being the most popular choice as companions.

Yet the reality is that far too many dogs still wait for love. In the United States, approximately 6-8 million cats and dogs enter shelters, but only about 4 million are adopted.

Even in 2024, roughly 2 million dogs were adopted, while 334,000 were euthanized, and 524,000 were transferred to other organizations. Around the world, millions of dogs continue to wait, hoping for a second chance.

 

Who We Are (Hint: We’re Just Starting, But We Dream Big)

Launched recently, Real Barks is fueled by a simple belief: our business should spread more than style, it should echo compassion. We're new, but every great story starts with the first heartfelt step.

 

Giving Back, One Tail Wag at a Time

As we grow, one of our goals is to support local dog shelters and rescue groups. Because love isn’t just about cuddles, it’s about uplifting those who need it most.

 

What Makes Us Different

  • Purposeful Curations: Each accessory is chosen with both quality and comfort in mind, for you and your dog
  • Community-Driven: Support us and you help us move closer to making a positive difference for shelter dogs
  • Built on Love, Not Just Commerce: Profit is the means, not the end; paw-sitive impact is our goal

 

Looking Ahead

We envision a world where cuddles outnumber kennels, where every fetch leads to a loving home. One day, we hope you’ll see our name and know not just great accessories, but that loving paws helped shape our story.

A note from the founder

"I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember. One of my most meaningful experiences was adopting my own dog, who showed me the pure joy of giving a pup a second chance. However, it also opened my eyes to the fact that many dogs are still waiting for homes.

That’s why I started Real Barks: to bring you stylish, practical dog accessories, while working toward supporting shelter dogs in need."
