Teen’s Bow Ties For Shelter Dogs Help Boost Adoption Rates

Boy, have we got some wholesome goodness to share with you today! For years bow ties have been a part of Darius Brown's signature look, and now, they've become a mission for the 14-year-old, who is using his sewing skills to help dogs at crowded animal shelters get noticed. The rate of dog adoptions at shelters have since tripled after the pups are given one of Brown's colorful creations! TRIPLED?!?! That is absolutely pawesome!

Brown estimates that he has made over a thousand doggy bow ties. He is one impressive young man. He took up sewing at just nine years old after learning from his sister who had previously learned from their late grandmother. It's a family affair! We wish Darius the best of luck in his pursuits and look forward to seeing him help even more doggos find the warm homes they deserve! Way to go, Darius!
