My name is Krista Pennino, the owner of Paws for Pitties Candles! I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. With over 5 years of experience as an animal shelter caretaker and volunteer, I have fallen in love with the most misunderstood breed. I decided to start my own candle business in order to help me fulfill my dream of one day having my own rescue and raise awareness for pitbulls, all while being able to express my creativity through my candles.

We started business in October of 2024, where I had spent the summer watching numerous YouTube videos on how to make a candle and how to start a business. It has been a very rewarding experience thus far and I am so excited to see what 2025 brings!
