About Us

At Shades, it’s all about the pups! We’ve got dogs, we love dogs, and we’re pretty sure our dogs love us back—mostly for the treats! When you stroll into our store, you’ll be greeted by one of our furry team members, who may attempt to model the latest shades. Our love for dogs is embedded in everything we do, from creating a dog-friendly space to supporting local animal shelters (because every pup deserves a shot at a cozy home). You’ll even find our love for canines reflected in our apparel, like our signature Shades Lola T-shirt. Remember, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re our four-legged coworkers, and they definitely run the show!
