New WearWoof Boutique Uses Fashion to Find Pets Fur-Ever Homes

The nonprofit, which sells high-end labels at its consignment store, partners with Hello Bully, The Butler County Humane Society and other organizations to help end pet homelessness.

It was because of her deep passion—and deep concern—for homeless animals in the area that Nancy Lee decided to open WearWoof Inc., a non-profit that saves pets—with fashion. “I love animals and just wanted to do something,” said Ben Avon resident Lee, the executive director of WearWoof. “I’m not the person who should be fostering or going to work at the shelter because I get too emotionally involved, but this is definitely something I can do without crying myself to sleep every night.” WearWoof Inc. is a North Hills-based animal welfare organization that is using second-hand fashion to end pet homelessness through its support of the many local shelters and rescues in the region, including Hello Bully, which has a halfway house in Cranberry…
