About Us

Hi there, my name is Rook, the owner of The Maine Pooch. I am a black lab mix that was rescued from the streets of Mississippi in 2018. My favorite things to do are going on walks, swimming at the beach, going on car rides, hanging out with my friends, running free with zoomies in the woods, and snuggling with my mom getting belly rubs.

My mom always used to buy me cute collars and accessories, so I was always stylish when I went out on the town. Well, one day, we came up with the idea that my mom could make my cute accessories and give back to those who need it as well. That is when I came up with the idea to start The Maine Pooch! My mom thought I should call it The Spoiled Pooch, but I told her everyone already knows I am, so we needed a unique name everyone would find catchy.

The Maine Pooch is dedicated to selling high-quality products that last even through the toughest of play. I play pretty hard, so my mom put me to work with the products. I ran, swam in salt and fresh water, got everything muddy and snowy, and played as hard as I could with my furry friends. Each time I would come home, my mom inspected each item very closely to look for wear and tear. Each wet and dirty bandana would go into the wash and tested on each water setting, then put back on me to play again. I always have to be on a leash at our apartment, so we have been able to test the collar's durability and strength when I pull with all my might. After my mom tried out all my products, we found friends who also tried them out and gave us feedback. That is when we decided we were ready to go and launched our website!

We have come a long way from where we started. I am very grateful that we have been able to run this business with all the love and support from everyone!
