THE PROJECT PupDog

Every dog has a story worth telling. 🐾❤️

"For decades I've helped brands find their voice, tell their story, and inspire people to act. Today, I'm committed to giving those same skills back to nonprofits — helping them raise awareness, build support, secure funding, and create the kind of impact that changes lives, one story at a time."

Founded by Gregory Holmes, PUPDOG is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping more dogs find safe, loving, forever homes. We exist because too many incredible dogs are overlooked, abandoned, surrendered, or simply waiting for someone to see their value.

Dogs have an extraordinary ability to change lives. They teach us patience, loyalty, resilience, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Many have overcome circumstances that would break most of us, yet they continue to trust, love, and wag their tails.

Our mission is simple: help dogs and the organizations that care for them.

By combining decades of branding, marketing, storytelling, content creation, and creative strategy experience, PUPDOG helps shelters, rescue groups, foster networks, and adoption organizations tell their stories more effectively, reach more people, and ultimately save more lives.

From senior dogs and overlooked shelter residents to handicapped and special-needs pups, we work to shine a light on animals that deserve a second chance. Through compelling content, creative campaigns, community partnerships, and advocacy, we help connect dogs with the families who need them just as much as the dogs need them.

PUPDOG is proudly supported by founder & creative professional Gregory Holmes and his creative agency collaborative; COCOABAR http://cocoabar.com/

Built on a simple belief that authentic stories move people, and meaningful brands move them to act. COCOABAR puts decades of creative thinking, brand strategy and storytelling to work for something that matters. Through donated creative resources, strategic expertise, grant and proposal development, and hands-on volunteer support, COCOABAR helps fuel PUPDOG’s mission: "helping dog-focused organizations tell stronger stories, reach more people, secure more resources and ultimately, help more dogs."

🐾EVERY dog matters.

🐾EVERY dog has a story.

🐾EVERY dog needs a voice.

🐾EVERY dog needs a voice.

Our vision is a world where no adoptable dog is overlooked, where shelters 

and rescues have the resources, they need to succeed, and where the bond between people and dogs continues to enrich lives for generations to come.

Whether you're a shelter, rescue organization, foster family, volunteer, donor, or simply someone who loves dogs, you're part of the solution.

Together, we can help more dogs find the homes, families, and futures they deserve.

Because EVERY dog deserves a place to call home.
