It was a crisp November morning when a thought struck me. Every year, I celebrate Thanksgiving surrounded by my dogs, basking in the warmth of family love and delicious food. But then it dawned on me – what about the countless shelter dogs who have never experienced this joy? This realization led to a mission: to give these dogs their very first Thanksgiving.

Crafting the Perfect Barksgiving

Barksgiving meals

My team and I embarked on a heartfelt project, creating special Barksgiving dinners. These weren’t just any meals; they were crafted with hours of love and care at my stores, The Dog Bakery. We meticulously prepared each dish, ensuring they were healthy and safe for our canine friends, devoid of salt and sugar. The challenge? Getting these excited rescue dogs to sit still as we set up their first-ever Thanksgiving feast.

At Marley’s Mutts, I met Titan and Hooch, two dogs with harrowing pasts of abuse and neglect. This Thanksgiving was going to be a milestone for them. Hooch, who doesn’t have a tongue, needed special care. We prepared his meal to be more like a mush, ensuring he could enjoy it just as much as any other dog.

A Feast of Forgiveness and Love

As I watched Titan, his face marked with scars, I saw beyond his past. Here was a dog capable of immense forgiveness and love, experiencing his first Thanksgiving, filled with hope for a brighter future. Hooch, despite his challenges, was the life of the party, proving that joy knows no bounds.

Just like any family gathering, our Barksgiving had its share of chaos. Shelby, with her playful rudeness, and Shadow, who couldn’t resist jumping on the table for extra treats, brought laughter and light-heartedness to the feast. It was a scene of pure happiness, a testament to the resilience and love these dogs embody.
