About Bagadu
Bagadu’s original mission was simple: to make each customer’s poop pickup experience as easy and seamless as possible. But as our company has evolved, another goal has taken prominence: to support the animal rescue community, one donated roll at a time.
Meet the Crew
The Human Crew
Bagadu was formed by a dynamic, dog-loving duo who have collectively adopted dozens of pups from rescue organizations across the country. Most of our critters were those in need — strays, seniors, handicapped, abused — and are now living the best lives they so richly deserve.
Our Canine Inspirations
Meet Bagadu’s canine crew, hailing from shelters and fosters in Virginia, New York, Washington DC, Mississippi, California, North Carolina, Arizona, and Maryland. Click through the photos below for introductions. And follow us on Instagram to see more of the puppers!
Alfie | Chiweenie - As the Bagadu Crew's iron-pawed leader, Alfie monitors his siblings' every move. If they're having too much fun, he quickly tamps it down. Sure, his big ears are cute, but they don't make up for being a major party-pooper.
Violet | Pit-shepherd-lab mix - V-Gurl loves mangling sheets and pillows and has frequent bouts of gas. She also enjoys bathing in mud holes and is quite the skilled fly catcher.
Hershey | Chug - Our sweet little Puddin' Pop has a dazzling white underbite and a tongue made for face-licking. Hershey’s pro’s: super cute, rarely barks, snugly and soft. Cons: chews soft paper products, pees on the carpet near the doggy door.
Willy | Pit bull - Due to constant scolding from previous adopters, Willy needs daily assurance that he is a good boy. He definitely defies the ferocious pit bull stereotype -- he is scared of butterflies, wet grass, and even his own poo.
Nubie | Doofus - Nubie was picked up as an emaciated stray in rural VA. Known as Booby, he now spends his time either curled up under a blanket or barking hysterically at cars, birds, falling leaves, and even nothing at all.
Bo Britches | MinPin - "Britchey" grew up unloved and ignored in a severe hoarding situation. Unfortunately, the now-beloved Britchey was never potty trained...and teaching this old dog new tricks has proved challenging at best.
Tater Tot | Mini Yorkie - We have no idea how Tater breached the Bagadu HQ security fence one freezing night and found her way through the doggie door. Tater is bossy and coy, purrs like a tribble, and walks in circles when dinner is ready.
Sammi | Lemon Foxhound - We found Sammi crossing the road with a broken leg. Less than 6 months post-surgery, she was running rings around her siblings. Sammi kidnaps and holds hostage items like sunglasses, coasters, socks/shoes, etc.
Smooshie | Pit Bull - We don't know anything about Smooshie's past, but we are very familiar with her sweet disposition, slightly crossed right eye, and deviated septum that tortures us with snores and snortels all night long.
Biggy | Anatolian Shepherd mix - Weighing in at just over 100 lbs, our alert and ever-vigilant protectress patrols the perimeter to dissuade deer, squirrels, pine needles, and the FedEx truck from storming Bagadu HQ.
Otto | Min Pin Angel - Deaf and blind Otto was found wandering the streets of DC wih a huge tumor on his side. We had a wonderful year with our little man and will always cherish his sweet disposition and determination to live his best life.
Tibby | MinPin mix Angel - Despite his crooked spine and shaky leg, Tibbs became head of the household. When Tibbs was diagnosed with cancer, the vet gave him four months. But miraculously, he beat the odds and stayed with us for eight more.
Inky | Mini Rat Terrier Angel - Inky was a bit of an "impulse buy"—we popped into a pet store for dog food and left with this cute little ratter. When Inky wasn't refereeing her sparring siblings, she was super-glued to Daddy. Little Inky is sorely missed.
Buster | Min Pin Angel - When we adopted deaf and blind Buster, we had no idea that he was also riddled with cancer. It was a shock when we had to let Buster go. We treasure him as the most vulnerable and sweetest dog we have ever known.
Chi Chi | Chihuahua Angel - During the five magical weeks we had Chi Chi, she enjoyed long, luscious naps and slow walks in the forest. We have no doubt that this dear little dog is now healthy, happy, and frolicking with her newfound furry friends.
Tiki | Chihuahua Angel - Our beloved Tiki Totty Tootie was a little sprite whose toothless snarl struck fear in the hearts of her siblings. Tiki was deaf and nearly blind, but she could always find her way to her mommy's lap. We miss her so much.
Max | Corgi mix Angel - We adopted Max after he was abandoned at a gas station. Max wasn’t demonstrative and licked his paws nervously when we nuzzled him. But we know that he enjoyed his big backyard and his choice of many dog beds.
