Growing up in South Central Utah my creative and crafty mother always helped me find ways to use the items found on my ‘adventures’ during our craft nights, where painting and creating were the norm in a family of 7 kids on a policeman’s wages. This translated to my love of upcycling the ‘old’ and ‘discarded’ into something functional and unique as an adult. While grieving the loss of one of my beloved dogs, I came across a key/leash holder online from a large box store that was uniform in the design and over-priced for my ‘fiscally sounded’ mentality. I found discarded wooden pieces that were still functional for other uses and created the wooden key/leash holders I now sell. I live in Roy where I am the human servant to three cats and a standard poodle. I enjoy adventures outdoors where I gather up unique materials to fuel my creativity and reconnect with what pushed me into this area to begin with. Focusing on creating creatures that will stand the test of time and provide hours of fun for little hands to play with or just decorating your shelves and walls.

Having three dogs with food allergies also pushed me into the world of ‘limited ingredient’ treats in order to give my kids treats that didn’t flare up their protein allergies. That’s where Moo’s “Crunchie Munchies” came to be. Made from allergy safe ingredients, these treats are a hit some of the most pickiest of eaters.

Selling in the consignment store CCrafts Crafty Creations on 25th street and Grant Avenue in Ogden and online at https://moos-menagerie.square.site/ there is truly something for ‘everyone in the herd’ to be found!

At Evening Arts, our journey began with a heartfelt mission to make a difference in the lives of rescue dogs. What started as a means to support the needs of foster dogs in our care blossomed into a passion project that fuels our purpose each day. With a deep love for our furry companions (and all dogs), our brand emerged as a tribute to our five rescue dogs who bring joy and meaning to our lives every day. Their well-being and happiness serve as our guiding light and driving force behind everything we do.

As a female veteran of the US Army, I bring dedication, discipline, and a profound sense of service to our work at Evening Arts. Our commitment to providing high-quality, safety focused pet accessories stems from a desire to create a better world for our beloved companions and all furry friends out there. Every purchase you make supports not just our business but also the well-being of rescue dogs who come through our home and the enriching lifestyle they deserve. Join us on this journey of love, compassion, and stylish pet care.

What is different about Evening Arts?

At Evening Arts Pet Accessories, we pride ourselves on our distinctive approach to pet fashion. Setting us apart from the rest, we stray from mass production of multiple sizes in identical styles. Instead, we believe in crafting unique pieces that are as special and individual as the pets they adorn. With only one, two, or three pieces in each design/print combo, we ensure exclusivity and originality in every creation.

This intentional choice not only sets us apart but also fuels our creative freedom, allowing our artistic abilities to infuse each item with a personal touch and attention to detail. By focusing on limited quantities of each style, we elevate the level of passion and care that goes into every item, ensuring that your furry companions receive accessories that are crafted with love and devotion. Experience the difference with Evening Arts Pet Accessories - where every piece tells a story and celebrates the uniqueness of your beloved pets.
