Pennyroyal Studio announces their latest charitable project with animal activist and world famous dog whisperer, Cesar Millan. Pennyroyal’s many charitable collaborations have raised over $220,000 for various charities since 2009.

Proceeds benefit the Cesar Millan Foundation's D.E.A.R. Fund. The D.E.A.R. Fund is names after Milan's dog who passed away in 2012.

Customers are now able to upload an image of their own dog’s paw print or paw and Pennyroyal will create a one of a kind silver pendant from each dog’s unique paw shape.The uni-sex Custom Paw Print Pendant will be available to order through February 28th, with proceeds benefiting The Cesar Millan Foundation's DEAR Fund.

The handcrafted paw print designs are available on both sterling silver chain and black leather cord. An impression of Cesar’s signature is available on the back of every pendant along with his mantra “Exercise, Discipline, Affection” and the dog’s name. Prices range from $180 to $200. These will be available for purchase exclusively through www.pennyroyalstudio.com.
Cesar Millan is among many talented people who have worked with Pennyroyal Studio in releasing handcrafted designs to benefit charities. This latest collaboration enters new and more personal creative territory by giving customers the ability to create a pendant using their own dog’s paw print.

Pennyroyal’s designer, Tim Foster says, "Each dog has a unique paw shape. A pendant made from the exact outline of your dog’s paw is like wearing your best friend’s finger print on a necklace. For people whose dogs have passed away, we can use a generic paw print from their breed and engrave the dog’s name on the back as a wearable memorial. It’s an honor to work with Cesar and the Cesar Millan Foundation to support the DEAR Fund.”

In the past, the D.E.A.R. Fund has donated to organizations such as Veterinarians Without Borders for their efforts in the aftermath of the Chilean earthquake and Downtown Dogs for a hoarding situation, among others.

The latest recipient of the D.E.A.R. Fund is the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas (GALT) for the care and medical treatment of 13 dogs that were rescued from a hoarding situation.

“The expense to car for these greyhounds has been overwhelming to say the least,” said Grant Coordinator Jack Tinsley. “Medical care as well as expenses for daily needs has exceeded in some cases more than $2000 per dog.”

Pennyroyal Studio: Pennyroyal Studio was founded in 2006 by former music industry professional, Tim Foster. While creating a memento for his girlfriend, Foster discovered his love of designing jewelry and conceptualized his first collection of pendants. Despite the growth of the Pennyroyal Studio brand over the past 6 years, each collection continues to feature Foster's signature artisanal flare and handcrafted appeal that launched the successful jewelry brand. Pennyroyal Studio's designs are inspired by music, moments in Foster’s life, and a desire to create designs that have a positive impact on each individual customer and the charities that benefit from them.

Milans DEAR Fund Created in Daddy’s memory, The DEAR Fund (Daddy’s Emergency Animal Rescue Fund) provides assistance for dogs who are victims of abuse or violence, man-made disasters (hoarders and puppy mill rescues), and large-scale natural disasters (hurricanes, fires and other natural catastrophes).
