The Story
Our Story
Built on love. Worn in the city.
Giz & Halo was created from a love that runs deep — the kind of love that stays with you long after a paw print fades.
Gizmo
Gizmo was my first heart dog. A Shih Tzu with quiet wisdom, endless loyalty, and a presence that grounded me in ways I didn't know I needed. He taught me that our pets aren't simply companions — they are family, teachers, and constant sources of comfort.
When Gizmo passed, the loss was profound. But so was the gratitude for having loved him so completely.
Then entered Halo
Playful, bright, and full of joy, Halo didn't replace what was lost — she expanded it. She reminds us that love continues, that healing can be gentle, and that new beginnings can exist alongside cherished memories.
Together, Gizmo and Halo represent the full journey of companionship: the depth of devotion, the ache of goodbye, and the courage to love again.
Giz & Halo is a tribute to them both.
Designed with intention
Every piece we create is designed with intention, care, and refinement — because our pets deserve the same quality and thoughtfulness we expect for ourselves.
We believe luxury isn't just about how something looks, but how it's made, how it feels, and the values behind it.
A portion of every purchase
Supporting PAWS Chicago
In honor of the dogs who inspire us and the ones still waiting for homes, we donate a portion of every Giz & Halo purchase to PAWS Chicago — supporting rescue, adoption, and lifesaving care for animals in need.
