Made to make a difference.
The mission of The Salty Dog Candle Company is rooted in more than just creating clean candles inspired by the Tampa Bay area— it’s about giving back to the rescues that make our communities better. Inspired by Tampa Bay and love for animals, our company was built with a purpose: to support local animal rescues and bring more awareness to the incredible work they do every single day.
Local rescues often operate quietly behind the scenes with limited funding, small teams, and overwhelming need, yet they continue to save abandoned, abused, and neglected animals through pure dedication and compassion. These organizations provide medical care, rehabilitation, foster homes, transportation, and second chances to dogs and cats who otherwise may never find safety or love. Despite the impact they make, many local rescues don’t receive the recognition, attention, or financial support they truly deserve.
