Inspired by Larry

When we lost Larry — our loyal black lab mix, our quiet protector, our constant — we felt the depth of what it truly means to love a senior dog. He had spent his life watching over us, softening with age, trading tough-guy patrols for slower steps, deeper naps, and a heart that only grew more devoted.

Larry didn’t just inspire this collection — he inspired our logo.

The black dog at the heart of Black Dog Candle Shoppe is a tribute to him and to every dog whose presence leaves a permanent mark on our lives.

This collection was created to honor that season of love — the one that comes with a sugared face, a lifetime of trust, and the quiet understanding that only time can create.

This candle is for the dogs who stay close.

For the ones who love gently.

For the ones who give us everything they have.

Light it in remembrance, in gratitude, or in the comfort of knowing that the deepest love is often the softest.

Because if you’ve loved a senior dog, you already know —

Why Black Dog?

We have always been dog lovers and have adopted several rescue dogs over the years. Through a desire to help more animals, we have created The Black Dog Candle Shoppe. We decided on the name Black Dog due to the “Black Dog Syndrome”.

Black dogs are often the last dogs to be adopted and as a result tend to stay in shelters longer, and are euthanized more often than other dogs.

We are excited to offer 100% natural scented soy candles, and for every candle sold 10% of the proceeds will be donated to local animal rescues.
