Barely in time for the holiday season, our Champion of My Heart store is now open. Suffice it to say the process turned into WAY more work than I ever imagined. It felt like this ... you too can launch an online store in just 1, 873,345 easy steps. I still need to do some things like personalizing all the notifications shoppers receive and other behind-the-scenes stuff that shouldn't affect your shopping experience, but it's up and running. Please let me know if you find any glitches. Here's a recap of what's in the new Champion of My Heart store, featuring 15 designs and more than 140 products (if you count all the clothes color options).

Shoppers in the USA only. For now, the store is only available to people in the United States. I began to set up options for Canada, the UK, and Europe, but then a mentor advised me NOT to do that because, for some reason, it attracts relentless scammers.
I may still be able to figure that out and expand later. Our print-on-demand provider runs facilities in those places as well. If you really, really want something, I could probably order it myself and then figure out shipping.
Clothes and Gifts for Dog Lovers
With this third attempt at an online store inspired by all things Champion of My Heart, I remain hopeful that the million and one decisions I made result in something useful and fun for all of you.
In addition to updates of our OG Designs (with our URL removed), I hired a designer pal to create a bunch of new designs, including many that focus on promoting pet fostering. The new Champion of My Heart store allows you to browse in two ways:
- Shop by collection: All products with a particular design in one place. The store's homepage features links to collections.
- Shop by category: All clothes for women, all clothes for men, all the mugs, all the home decor items, etc. The store's navigation at the top of all pages features links to product pages by category.
Types of Products
The Champion of My Heart store features these types of products:
- T-shirts with short sleeves (in several colors)
- T-shirts with long sleeves (in several colors)
- Sweatshirts
- Lightweight hoodies (smaller color selection, but still fun)
- Heavier hoodies (smaller color selection, but still fun)
- Home decor items
- Mugs
- Stainless steel bottles (keep things hot or cold)
- Journals
- Sheets of stickers (great for stocking stuffers or small gift exchanges)
- Candles (for pet loss gifts or otherwise)
I really want to do baseball hats and some other things, perhaps with embroidery, but it's even more complicated to get design files to meet embroidery specs, so that's going to take more time. I also wanted to do nightgowns, but the t-shirt dress I hoped to use became unavailable.
Please let me know if there is a type of product you want with a specific design that I don't yet offer. I'm happy to look into adding it.
