“Down syndrome: It doesn’t mean I’m down. It means I help people who are feeling down. My smiles are contagious. My laugh is medicine for the heart. My hugs are heavenly. My heart itself is pure gold.”
We started this business for 2 reasons:
- To provide the highest quality treats, toys, and products for pet parents.
- To give our son, Alex (aka Al Pals), opportunities.
For any parent with a child that has special needs, that journey into adulthood can be scary. There are not a lot of great opportunities for job/careers post high school. We decided to take matters into our own hands. We decided to create opportunities where there weren't any.
