Pipes, Permits & Pupcakes

Help Bring! Barkery Build the Kitchen Behind the Treats

Hi friends —

Bring! started the same way a lot of good things do: with a cart, a big heart, and a deep love for dogs and the people who adore them. What began as a small idea has grown into something truly special — a community of dog lovers, rescue supporters, and regulars who believe that dogs deserve joy, celebration, and really good treats.

Over the years, you’ve helped Bring! grow far beyond what I ever imagined. Together, we’ve baked thousands of treats, celebrated countless pups, and donated tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of goodies to shelters and rescues. This business has always been about more than treats — it’s about connection, kindness, and showing up for dogs when it matters.

And now, we’ve taken a huge step forward.

✨ We’ve signed the lease for our very first brick-and-mortar space — and we’re open! ✨

Our shop is up and running, welcoming pups and their people almost daily. As with any small business, some of the most important improvements happen after the doors open — and that’s where this campaign comes in.

We’re raising funds to complete essential plumbing, permits, and required kitchen infrastructure, along with a few critical upgrades to the cart that started it all. These improvements allow us to operate more efficiently, expand safely, and continue growing in a way that’s sustainable and compliant.

This campaign isn’t about starting something new — it’s about strengthening what already exists and improving it thoughtfully, step by step.

🐾 Before & After: Your Impact with Pipes, Permits & Pupcakes

BEFORE (Where we are now)

Bring! Barkery is open and welcoming pups and their people almost daily — and we’re doing a lot with a little.

Right now:

• Our shop is open and cart is functional, but limited by existing plumbing and infrastructure

• Some baking processes are slower or require workarounds

• Permits and system upgrades are in beginning stages

• Growth is careful and incremental to ensure safety and compliance

• The cart that started it all needs a few key upgrades to keep running smoothly, mainly our hood needs some work, and our oven needs a new motor (ouch)

We’re proud of what we’ve built — and we know it can be better.

AFTER (What your support makes possible)

With your support, Pipes, Permits & Pupcakes will help us complete the essential improvements that allow Bring! to thrive long-term.

Your backing will help us:

• 🚿 Complete required plumbing upgrades for a fully functional kitchen

• 📋 Secure permits that allow expanded, compliant food production

• 🍪 Increase baking efficiency and consistency

• 👩‍🍳 Reduce strain on our small team with safer, smarter workflows

• 🐕 Keep the original cart operating smoothly with needed improvements

• 💛 Continue and grow our support for shelters, rescues, and community partners

The Bigger Picture

These upgrades don’t just improve our space — they improve everything we do.

They mean:

• More treats baked with care

• More dogs celebrated

• More jobs supported

• More resources shared with shelters and rescues

• A stronger, more sustainable Bring! for years to come

This is what it looks like to build thoughtfully, responsibly, and with heart.

If Bring! has ever made your dog’s tail wag, if you believe in supporting small, local businesses built on heart, or if you simply love seeing good things grow — we’d be honored to have you be part of this next chapter.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for believing in us. And thank you for helping us keep building — one pipe, permit, and pupcake at a time.

With so much gratitude,
Kristen & the Bring! crew 🐾💛
