Our Story
FurRescue Fashions was born out of a desire to help change the negative stereotypes that surround bully breeds, particularly pit bull-type dogs. Our shop dog, Cielo, is believed to be a survivor of an illegal backyard breeder situation where she was not only neglected but abused. A shy, scared and anxious girl, she opened our eyes to the cruelty and discrimination these dogs face every single day.
Everybody loves a pittie in PAWjamas, so we created a brand that would allow us to give back to dogs in need while showing the true and gentle nature of these majestic boys and girls through cute clothing items and accessories.
Our Mission
Rooted in giving back to our communities, we are committed to helping dogs in need while educating the public on the wonders of adoption and rescue. We focus on and deeply love helping pit bull-type dogs, and we work to advocate for those who need it most.
30% of our monthly profits are donated to a different rescue organization each month.

Our Team
We are a family of at least six, with additional fosters often rolling through! We are dog lovers and deeply desire to give back to our community of rescues and animal shelters.
We believe in the miracle of adoption and see it as the only option when deciding to own a dog. We promote adoption every chance we get, and our goal is to be a voice for the abandoned, like our sweet Cielo, Lily and Evie were once before.
We love all dogs, but pit bull-type dogs hold a very special place in our hearts because we’ve seen first-hand how they’re often labeled as dangerous and forbidden in hundreds of cities worldwide. They are the most common victims of animal cruelty, abuse and discrimination, and part of our mission is to help change this.

Justin
A New Jersey native, Justin has resided in the Washington, D.C. area for over 20 years. He is a hardworking professional specializing in sales and possesses a deep passion for outdoor activities and family - which always include his pups! Having had big dogs for most of his life, he has a special place in his heart for all the furry giants. He confesses he only learned about the miracle of dog rescue in his adult years, but now, too, believes it is the only choice. With Caro, Justin opens his heart to dogs needing temporary homes and works diligently to find them perfect forever families.

Cielo
Cielo is the Spanish word for “sky” or “heaven.” She was named this because, for Caro, she represented a little piece of heaven right here on earth
Cielo had a rough life and, in 2015, at roughly the age of 3, was rescued by the Humane Rescue Alliance. Her adoption took place during a trying time for her mommy, Caro; they helped each other heal and rescued each other
Today, Cielo’s life is filled with love, belly rubs… and maybe one too many treats. A princess, or ‘Diva’ as called by her humans, she loves to dress up and refuses to step out in the rain without her stylish poncho! She’s stubborn and opinionated but is the most patient and loving with her foster siblings. Cheese is her favorite snack, and she loves to hike with the family!

Dyno
Dyno is an active 15-year-old Springer Spaniel who has lived with Justin since he was a puppy. Once their family evolved to include Caro and Cielo, he became the spoiled baby, the boss and the one who calls the shots! He loves his mommy, Caro, and is the best snuggle buddy. He has a huge smile (his lips literally coil up when he's happy) and loves to be pet more than anything in the world. He demands pets! He loves hiking, swimming and could play fetch all day long! Dyno might be the sweetest dog you'll ever meet and loves complete and uninterrupted attention from humans! Thankfully, his Diva sister, Cielo, lets him get away with anything he wants!
It was through Cielo that Caro became a passionate advocate for misunderstood breeds, and it’s how she met her husband, Justin, while they volunteered together at a local shelter.

Lily
Lily was a total #FosterFail! She's the SWEETEST and most humbled dog you'll ever meet. She loves to be loved and is the most patient girl. She's terrified of storms and lightning but loves to go on walks and hikes! When she first arrived in our home, she was unable to go on long walks because of the neglect she’d endured and her ACL issues. Now, she's the fastest of the bunch and could play all day!

Evie
Evie is our pack's newest member and a #FosterFail. She loves to play dress up, is an aggressive kisser, hugger and is the best love bug ever! She's happiest when the whole pack is together and loves being outdoors on a hiking adventure or snuggling up on the couch for belly rubs and naps!
Our Fosters
Our FurRescue Fashions team could not be complete without our fosters! Not only do they help model for our little company and passion project, but they teach us so much about second chances and remind us daily to appreciate the little things. Most of our fosters are pulled from euthanasia lists and it's the most gratifying feeling knowing we did our part to save a life.
People argue that there are just too many to try and save them all, but for that one life you saved... it's everything. Although we miss them so much when they leave, they are family and will remain so, always, in our heart
