Our Story

About Us

My love for dogs began before I even understood the world around me. One of my earliest memories is standing at the top of a staircase as a three-year-old, looking down to see Shep gazing back up at me. I didn't know it then, but that moment would shape the rest of my life.

From there, every chapter of my story has had a dog in it.

There was Scamp, my wired-hair Scottish Terrier, who taught me what unconditional loyalty feels like and sparked my instinct to protect and care for animals. Then came Thumper, Scout, Jake, Mindy, and Zoe, each with their own personality, quirks, and small everyday moments that leave a permanent mark.

Years later, my first "born" arrived. Popcorn, an energetic and wildly determined Jack Russell Terrier, brought a level of spirit, bravery, and joy that only a Jack Russell can get away with. After that came my most recent loves, Molly, Sophie, and Lily, whose losses still sit heavily on me but whose impact continues to guide how I see dogs, life, and this brand.

Every dog I've loved, and continue to love, has shaped who I am. They've made me better, softer, more patient, more protective, and more grateful.

iwannadogtee.com exists because of them.
It is more than a shop. It is a tribute to every pawprint that has walked through my life and every dog lover who feels the same way.

If you are here, you probably understand that kind of love too.

Welcome to the family.
