About

Dorothysgift.com has a new category that pairs pet charms/medals with poetry to create one-of-a-kind unique gifts for our pet loving friends.

Joan Howard, a wife and mother of 4 children, spent many years of her adult life trying to find what her special talent was. As she spent her morning quiet time each day seeking a stronger connection with God, she was surprised to find herself writing poetry. Her friends encouraged her to share her gift of poetry and from that, DorothysGift.com was born. Joan has named the site in memory of her mother who loved unconditionally. The website features many different styles of Swarovski crystal necklaces for friends and family along with personal poems of love, appreciation, and scripture.

It seemed to be a natural addition to include pet medals and poems as a way to show the bond with our pets as well.  Website visitors may choose a pet medal/charm and a poem to express personal feelings about their own pet or to be presented to someone who knows the true meaning of a pet’s love.  

A love of animals and her daughter’s involvement with Georgia Canines for Independence, (CGI), led to the idea of donating $1of the sale of each pet medal to the organization. GCI is dedicated to improving the quality of life of people living with physical disabilities and other special needs. GCI provides trained service dogs to increase the independence of people with various medical conditions. Service dogs increase independence, self-esteem and social interactions. In the U.S., about 1200 people apply for a service dog every year, while only about 500 assistance dogs are placed annually.  Most people wait many years to receive a service dog.  There are over 50 children and adults on CGI’s waiting list – all are hoping and dreaming of a chance to receive a lifelong canine companion and partner.  

The website is user friendly and supplies Joan with detail if you want a personal, one of a kind poem that makes a beautiful, unique gift.

All of the charms/medals are $12.95 and includes free shipping to anywhere in the U.S.
