A royal milliner is launching a paw-fect project for pet lovers!
The adorable calendar,now in its sixth year, features a different rescue dog for each month of the year, all wearing exquisite (dog-sized!) couture hats.
“All the dogs featured have been saved from certain death,” Golding tells PEOPLE, adding: “This calendar is showing the world that these needy dogs make gorgeous best friends and family pets — so many are still trying to find their forever homes.”

The founders, Emily, Hayley, and Aimee, gave up their day jobs in 2016 after seeing a surge in animal neglect and abuse where they live in Harbin, — a city in northeast China. The group rescues dogs from the illegal dog meat trade, saving the pets from a trip to the slaughterhouse.

Golding, who runs her eponymous label and heads the womenswear line atLock & Co., was inspired to start the charity project in 2018 after she began trying hats on her beloved rescue dog, Stevie, in her East London studio.
Since its inception, the calendar has raised over $85,000 for international dog rescue charities and aims to raise another $12,000 with the 2024 edition.
