About Patches the Pup

Meet the team behind the wagging tail, colorful pages, and donations that help schnauzers find their fur-ever homes.

Meet Patches

Patches is a playful miniature schnauzer with a big imagination and an even bigger heart. In his stories, he goes on adventures, solves mysteries, learns new things, and always finds a way to help others along the way.

Behind the scenes, Patches is also the mascot of our mission: to support Schnauzer Love Rescue and help real pups find the love, safety, and forever homes they deserve.

Meet Elizabeth

I’m Elizabeth — a teacher, storyteller, and lifelong schnauzer lover. Creating these books began as a passion project: a way to blend creativity, literacy, and compassion.

Watching children light up as they read and color Patches’ adventures is one of my greatest joys. But I also wanted every book to matter beyond the page, which is why a portion of every sale is donated to Schnauzer Love Rescue.

This project is more than a business — it’s a way to make a difference, one wag and one page at a time.

What We Create

We’re building a joyful, meaningful collection for families, teachers, and schnauzer lovers:

  • Coloring books that invite big, bold creativity
  • Storybooks that celebrate kindness, courage, and curiosity
  • Activity books and resources that support classrooms and families
  • Digital downloads for iPad coloring apps like Procreate

Our Purpose

At the heart of Patches the Pup is a simple promise:

Inspire kids. Celebrate creativity. Help schnauzers.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping real pups get a second chance.
