This Woman Turned Her Love For Rescue Dogs And Chocolate Into A Life-Saving Business

When Sarah Gross Feoli took her rescue pit bull for a walk in the park one day, she had no idea it would lead to a revolutionary business idea. But that’s exactly what happened, and now she’s changing the lives of homeless pets one chocolate bar at a time.

Meet Rescue Chocolate – the world’s first vegan chocolate company that donates all its profits to help save animals. Yes, you read that right: delicious chocolate that actually helps rescue dogs find forever homes!

“I never planned to become a chocolatier,” Sarah tells us with a laugh. “I just knew I loved two things: rescue dogs and really good chocolate. One day, those two passions just clicked together.”

Running her business from Brooklyn, New York, Sarah creates mouth-watering vegan chocolates with clever names that raise awareness about animal welfare issues. Take “Fakin’ Bacon” for instance – a delicious soy-bacon flavored treat that reminds us plant-based can be just as tasty!

But what makes this story even sweeter is how quickly it took off. With zero business experience and armed with just passion and determination, Sarah’s venture became profitable in just two months. Talk about proof that doing good can be good for business!

Each chocolate bar comes wrapped in eye-catching metallic foil with a white paper sleeve, featuring an adorable pit bull mascot (designed by Sarah’s husband). But these aren’t just pretty packages – they’re conversation starters about important issues like spaying/neutering and breed-specific legislation.

The best part? Local rescue groups can sell these chocolates using a “Girl Scout Cookie” model to raise funds for their cause. It’s like having a bake sale, except all the hard work is already done for you!

“Some days are challenging,” Sarah admits. “Managing inventory of perishable goods isn’t easy, and shipping chocolate in summer is… interesting, to say the least! But then I think about the monthly donations going to help animals in need, and it all feels worth it.”

Starting with no business background, Sarah proved that sometimes the best qualification is simply caring enough to make a difference. Her company now brings in $12,000 monthly, operating with just one employee – herself!

So next time you’re craving something sweet, remember there’s a chocolate out there that not only satisfies your taste buds but also helps save furry lives. Now that’s what we call a guilt-free treat!
