Lakewood, OH (May 12th, 2024) - Gina DeSantis Ceramics, a distinguished brand that embodies the essence of timeless artistry and meticulous craftsmanship, has launched a line of ceramics created to help raise money for rescue dogs.
In this new line of ceramics, each dog dish is handcrafted featuring a pet's name, available in three sizes, and two colors from Gina DeSantis's Ceramics studio in Lakewood, Ohio. For each dish sold, 15% of sales are donated to a different dog rescue organization each month and dishes are also available as donations for rescue fundraisers.
This project began as a way to bring awareness to local rescues in Ohio and DeSantis hopes to expand to working with national rescues as well. RESCUEDOhio, a dog rescue and adoption organization, is the chosen collaborator for May 2024.

It speaks to the brand's goal of creating hands-on jobs for the creative workforce and growing organically alongside its team.
