An extension of the #LoveUp movement and foundation, the #LovePup Foundation raises funds and awareness for rescue dogs through the sale of #LovePup T-shirts and special events.

About #LoveUp
#LoveUp is an accidental movement started by Johnjay Van Es, after auto correct changed his friend’s text from “love it” to “love up,” and the phenomenon was born. Started as a social media campaign to remind people to pay it forward and spread the love, the #LoveUp Foundation was then created as a nonprofit organization that primarily provides assistance to foster care programs. Sponsorships and proceeds from the sale of #LoveUp T-shirts raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the #LoveUp Foundation. Visit www.loveupfoundation.org for more information. In 2015, the #LoveUp Foundation was expanded to the #LovePup Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for rescue dogs.
