“On May 5th 2007, my life changed completely.  While volunteering on 6th and Gladys in Los Angeles's Skid Row, I came upon a stray puppy that would forever change the course of my life.  This filthy 12 week old beautiful pit/lab mix was eating a donut on a corner.  No one claimed him.  I took "Jimi" home, and from that point forward, I educated myself about the plight of homeless dogs in Los Angeles. I opened Bark N' Bitches in May of 2006. Never did I imagine what a success I would have in the rescuing and re-homing of these innocent victims.  The store has served as an amazing platform for educating and celebrating the new lives of these pups. I have hit a landmark of changing the lives of 1,000 pups and certainly thousands of family members.

I believe that owning a dog is one of the greatest human experiences. My beautiful Jimi passed away November 13th, 2007.  These dogs are rescued in his honor. My tag line, "Jimi's Angels... changing the lives of humans one dog at a time", is at the core of my beliefs.  I absolutely believe that the healing power of these dogs is so powerful, that it is us humans who receive the real gift.” -Shannon von Roemer, owner, Bark N’ Bitches
