I'm starting this fundraiser to help launch Ruff Dog Coffee, a business I’ve built around a mission that means everything to me: supporting retired military and police K9s who’ve served our country and now need help coming home, healing, and finding peace.

Most people don’t realize that when these working dogs retire, many are left overseas or struggle with medical issues, trauma, or simply don’t have anywhere to go. I want Ruff Dog Coffee to help change that.

A portion of every sale will go to organizations that bring these K9s back to the U.S., cover their medical care, help them recover from service-related injuries, and find them loving homes. Just as important, I want this brand to raise awareness — to help people understand what these dogs go through, and how much they’ve sacrificed.

This fundraiser will help me get the business off the ground — sourcing great coffee, packaging it right, and telling the stories these dogs deserve to have told.
