Dear Pawfectly Delicious Community,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.  The Thanksgiving holiday provides each of us with the perfect opportunity to reflect on all that we have been given and to appreciate all who help support us throughout the year.  I know I speak for everyone at Pawfectly Delicious Dog Treats, that our hearts are full of thanks and gratitude.

At Pawfectly Delicious, we are continually inspired by the incredible network of support that surrounds us, each of you plays a vital role in helping us fulfill our mission of creating meaningful work, delicious treats, and joyful community connections. 

This year has been one of growth, impact, and beautiful collaboration. We are especially thankful for the following partnerships that have helped us shine even brighter: 

❤️To the talented Team at Istrico Productions — Thank you for capturing our story with such heart. Your generous gift of a storytelling video and stunning portraits of our team members has brought our mission to life in a powerful new way. 

❤️To our Retail Partners — Your shelves have become bridges between our bakers and dog lovers everywhere. We are so grateful for your belief in our mission and our team. 

❤️To our Community Partners — We are deeply grateful for the meaningful partnerships and collaborations we’ve built together over the years. At Pawfectly Delicious, one of our guiding values is the belief in the power of paying it forward. When someone is uplifted, they gain the strength to uplift others—and that’s how goodness grows.  We are proud of the community we have cultivated and the relationships we have forged with other mission driven organizations both locally and nationally. 

 ❤️To St. Luke’s Episcopal Church — Thank you for providing us with a space where transformation happens. Your generosity gives us room to grow, learn, and thrive. 

❤️To our Wellness Champions — Coach Cierra at Lorton CrossFit, music therapist Katie Kretzer, and yoga coach Ms. Lindsey Grooms, for your care and commitment to our team’s well-being are deeply appreciated. 

❤️To our Customers — Thank you for choosing our treats and sharing them with the dogs you love. Every purchase supports a purpose. 

❤️To our Donors — The recurring and one-time contributions you make are acts of kindness that ripple through every corner of our organization. You make our work possible. 

❤️And finally, to our incredible staff, team members, and volunteers — You are the heart of Pawfectly Delicious. Your dedication, creativity, and joy infuse everything we do. We simply couldn’t do it without you. 

As we head directly from Thanksgiving into the throws of the holiday season, we carry your support with us to persevere during this joyous but also stressful time. Thank you for believing in us, standing beside us, and helping us build a more inclusive, compassionate world—one treat at a time.   

With heartfelt gratitude and thanks,
Anne
