Our two-legged friends
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to a small army of people and organizations, each of whom has given us their time, energy and talent - pro bono - to bring Pets for Patriots to life. Give them a 21-paw salute!
- Dechert LLP
The folks at the New York office of this international law firm have and continue to guide us through all the legal aspects of making Pets for Patriots a reality. Our doggedly smart team gives us not just what’s in their heads, but their hearts – since each is an animal lover with special affection for our mission. Don’t tell, but we’re still trying to figure out if their bark is worse than their bite.

Karsh\Hagan
All paws are on deck at this innovative, Denver-based integrated marketing, advertising and branding agency, which is helping us stand head and tails above the crowd. Our pet loving team is responsible for crafting and executing key pieces of our marketing strategy, from shelter and veterinarian outreach to on-site adoption events. If you’re in the neighborhood, give these folks a Rocky Mountain ‘hi!’

Fox + Gazelle
Hats off to our friends at this boutique communications partnership located in New York City. Working at the speed of light, they created our identity, messaging and other branded assets to help us step out in style. We still haven’t figured out which one is the fox and which the gazelle; we’re too busy trying to convince them to rename their company Dog + Cat.

Palindrome Productions
When we were ready for our Hollywood moment, we were thrilled that this young, talented, New York-based video production team took the call. Before we could say, "Lights! Camera! Action!" they put together an amazing video for our application to the Pepsi Refresh Everything grant competition. We give Palindrome two thumbs up and a big "WOW!"
- Gravitate Design Studio
Kobe, a feisty Chihuahua, is the official office mascot for this Vancouver, Washington-based web design firm… need we say more? Faster than you can say, ‘Pets for Patriots,’ they signed on to handle the turnkey design and development of our website, blog and online store, all of which they completed in the wag of a tail. From their perch in the majestic Pacific Northwest, the folks at Gravitate – led by Kobe, all ten pounds of him – are helping us put our best paw forward.

Steven P. Schertz LLC
It was pure catnip when Steven Schertz, partner at B2BCFO®, signed on to be our part-time Chief Financial Officer. He brings over 30 years of experience with crazy sounding things like SOX and GAAP, so we knew we found a pro who would help us keep track of our finances right down to the penny. He's all over our spreadsheets like a dog on a bone, and we're thrilled he's running with our pack.
- Joanna Paul Design
This talented designer has left her paw prints on our work, having provided the early inspiration for our logo in addition to being part of our creative review team.
- Cesca Company LLC
Frances Gagliardi, the bi-coastal owner of this Santa Monica-based brand identity firm, can run with the big dogs and works with some of the most recognizable brands on the planet. When she’s not strutting her inner New Yorker or channeling her newfound California cool, Frances lends her considerable smarts and design savvy to our creative review team.
