Hurley's Heart Bulldog Rescue

For Lorenzo & Penelope

The love behind the art.

A Love That Became a Mission

My journey with Hurley's Heart Bulldog Rescue began after losing my beloved Bulldog, Lorenzo. What started as a way to honor his memory became a lasting commitment to helping Bulldogs in need.

Since then, I've had the privilege of fostering more than 24 Bulldogs, opening my home and heart to dogs waiting for their second chance. Along the way, I adopted my sweet Penelope, who became a cherished part of my family. Although I said goodbye to her in August 2026, her memory, along with Lorenzo's, continues to inspire my dedication to rescue.

Through DOLCE FAR NIENTE ARTISTICA, I create handcrafted trinket dishes, keychains, bag charms, ornaments, and personalized keepsakes to support Hurley's Heart. These pieces are sold online and at fundraising events, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the rescue, helping provide medical care, transportation, food, medications, and other necessities.

Every creation is made with love, a little sparkle, and the hope of making a difference — one bulldog at a time.

SPIN CITY

Where fitness, friendship, and giving back come together.

DOLCE FAR NIENTE ARTISTICA proudly collaborates with SPIN CITY, creating custom handcrafted keychains and bag charms that celebrate strength, determination, and community.

Throughout the year, SPIN CITY offers these exclusive creations at the studio, with proceeds supporting a different charitable cause during selected fundraising months.

In May, our collaboration supported the ALS Foundation, a cause especially close to my heart, in loving memory of my father. It was a meaningful opportunity to honor him while helping raise funds and awareness for a disease that affects so many families.

This October, we're turning our attention — and our sparkle — pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with specially created pieces that celebrate courage, hope, and the strength of women supporting women.

Each piece is more than an accessory. It's a small but powerful reminder that when a community comes together, even the littlest things can make a meaningful difference.

Ride Strong. Give Back. Make a Difference.
