“Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.” – Karen Davidson

In Q3 of 2025, 10% of all purchases will be donated to Charley’s K9 Rescue.

Charley’s K-9 Rescue is a bully breed-specific organization dedicated to saving dogs from overcrowded shelters and euthanasia. Our priority is placing community-safe bully breeds into loving, forever homes. We conduct thorough evaluations to ensure every dog we adopt out is one we’d trust in our own homes—around our own families, children, and dogs. We never expect an adopter to take on more than we would ourselves. We proudly advocate for bully breeds, who are too often misunderstood. We know them to be loyal, affectionate, and some of the best companions anyone could ask for. As shelters overflow with these breeds, we believe that balancing public safety with second chances is not just responsible—it’s essential.

In the first half of 2025, 10% of all purchases were donated to Perfectly Imperfect Pups Rescue.

Pips rescue takes in special needs and medical cases in and around North Carolina.

In the first half of 2025, we sold 53 collars and leashes, raising $239.14 for Pips Rescue. Given that we are a brand new small business, we feel very proud of our first donation – and hope we can contribute even more going forward!

Why We Donate 10% to Rescues and Shelters in NC

At Cora’s Canine Collective, we believe every dog deserves a chance at love, safety, and a happy life. That’s why 10% of every purchase you make goes directly to rescues and shelters in North Carolina. This commitment is more than just a business decision; it’s a heartfelt mission inspired by the countless dogs in need across our state.

The Reality for Dogs in North Carolina

North Carolina consistently ranks among the highest states in the U.S. for animal euthanasia rates. Despite the tireless efforts of shelters and rescues, overcrowding remains a dire issue.

   •   Euthanasia Crisis: Thousands of adoptable dogs and cats lose their lives each year due to a lack of space, resources, and adoptive families.

   •   Overcrowded Shelters: Many shelters operate at or over capacity, making it difficult to provide adequate care for the animals they house.

   •   Underfunded Rescues: Local rescues work around the clock to save as many animals as possible, but they rely heavily on donations to cover medical expenses, food, and transportation costs.

How Your Purchase Makes a Difference

When you choose Cora’s Canine Collective, you’re not just buying handcrafted accessories for your dog – you’re helping save lives. That 10% we donate helps:

   •   Provide Medical Care: Treating injured or sick animals so they can recover and find forever homes.

   •   Sponsor Spay and Neuter Programs: Preventing unwanted litters and reducing shelter overcrowding.

   •   Support Foster Programs: Giving animals a safe place to stay while they await adoption.

   •   Expand Shelter Resources: Funding food, bedding, and supplies for shelters and rescues across North Carolina.

Why We Focus on North Carolina

North Carolina has one of the largest populations of dogs entering shelters each year, and the need for support is urgent. By keeping our donations local, we can make a direct and meaningful impact in our communities. We partner with shelters and rescues that share our vision of a future where every dog has a loving home.
