Pawfectly Delicious Dog Treats

TREATS THAT TRANSFORM LIVES

Founded in October 2017, Pawfectly Delicious Dog Treats is a non-profit organization in Alexandria, Virginia. Our organization employs adults with disabilities and takes pride in providing meaningful work while celebrating each person’s unique gifts, talents, and abilities.

We are a team-focused business that brings together employees and volunteers to support daily operations of producing all-natural ginger dog treats. Being a part of the Pawfectly Delicious team empowers employees to be successful in their work and in turn, promotes a greater sense of purpose and confidence both on the job and within their community.

Bryan Tuccillo, and his mother Anne, founded Pawfectly Delicious Dog Treats. Bryan has Mitochondrial Disease, a degenerative neurological condition. The two of them began to bake dog treats out of their home soon after Bryan aged out of special education services within his school district and struggled to find meaningful employment. The two teamed up to create a non-profit concept of providing employment opportunities to young adults while contributing back to the community.

When the team began baking treats out of a local church kitchen, four disabled young adults volunteered their time to bake, package and sell the most delicious all-natural ginger dog treats. After lots of hard work, generous support from the community and a steady revenue stream, Pawfectly Delicious now provides paid employment to twelve adults with disabilities within the Alexandria community. Additionally, Pawfectly Delicious prioritizes its employees' overall health and wellbeing and supports them through its Employee Wellness Initiative. Through this initiative, employees receive adapted instruction and coaching in fitness, chair yoga, music therapy, nutrition counseling and job skills training they otherwise might not have access to. 

To be able to provide more opportunities to this underestimated population we need your support. Come grow with us and show your support with a meaningful contribution on this day of giving.

Thank you!
