What's the Trail Buddy CUSTOM??? Many of you know how big of a role our pups play in our lives. If you've been to the factory, you've probably seen some of our four-legged buddies around the Shop.
For a few periods this year, you can choose to ADD YOUR PUP to this board. You'll send in a photo, and Rayco Design will create a custom Illustration of your dog (or dogs) added beautifully to this board 🙌 🐶
A donation will be made to 2 great charities that support animal rescue - Moab's Underdog Animal Rescue & Rehab and Jackson Hole's Dog Is My Copilot.
