Our story began when our founder, Jordan Karcher, unexpectedly stumbled upon a dog adoption on the side of Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, CA. He was in no way planning, or prepared to adopt a rescue animal when he left the house that morning, but when a malnourished, brown and white, Dalmatian crawled into his lap, it was clear that he would be welcoming a new member to his family.
Similar stories occur thousands of times each week, yet there is still a drastic shortfall of suitable homes and safe haven shelters for abandoned dogs. We strongly believe that every dog, young and old, deserves a second chance at a better life with a loving family.
The first step to creating a second chance for millions of abandoned dogs is to enhance the ability of privately funded rescue organizations to cope with the financial burden presented by each new rescue. Rather than relying on donations or fundraisers, we set out to create a constant stream of funding, generated through the sale of our craft roasted organic coffees.
