Our Story
Our family has always had a passion for animals: Dogs, cats, horses, parakeets, even hamsters and fish. Oddly enough, we always seemed to stumble upon these animals when we needed each other the most. Our pets have deeply touched and enhanced our lives.
So it’s not surprising that AnnieWear was inspired by a rescue puppy: a shy and sweet little stray from the rural countryside of West Virginia. My husband Bill and I fell in love with Annie as soon as we saw her.
Annie is our second rescue from Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue. She came to us so small and so scared, but with lots of love and attention, Annie has blossomed into a wonderfully happy and entertaining sweetheart. She brings a smile to everyone who meets her, especially our nephew Roland, who is also a major reason for the launch of AnnieWear. He was born around the time we adopted Annie and I had more fun shopping for gifts for him.
We created AnnieWear to offer the best selection of animal-themed baby and toddler clothing and gifts. We cater to people looking for a unique gift for a special occasion, something that will make their gift stand out and their gift recipient appreciative.
Our mission, and what makes AnnieWear so special, is that portions of all AnnieWear sales are donated to animal rescue programs around the country. Our goal is to create a way to give back to animals that so desperately need help. At AnnieWear, the more we sell, the more we can give.
We’re devoted to helping animals in need by offering high-quality, fun, and precious items that make great and special gifts for that exceptional baby or toddler in your life. We’ve limited our selection to the products we love the most—and hope you will, too! So when you watch your loved ones open that unique present you found at AnnieWear, you’ll also know you contributed to a great cause.
We thank you, as do all of the animals we help!
Laurene (Annie’s mom and Roland’s aunt) &
Pam (Sasha the cat’s mom, Peterson’s and Christian’s aunt)
Laurene and Pam are cousins who have teamed up with AnnieWear. Both are passionate animal lovers and avid shoppers with completely different styles and tastes. (We won’t divulge who picked which products.) Laurene loves all animals, but adopts dogs. Pam loves all animals, but adopts cats. Neither of us are moms to humans, but we dearly love our nephews, thank our siblings for having these great kids, and try to positively influence their lives!
And we thank you for that.
