Big Heads, Bigger Hearts
Lightbulb Heads is a rescue dog lifestyle brand built on one belief: the dogs people overlook are the ones most worth celebrating.
Lightbulb Heads is a rescue dog lifestyle brand built on one belief: the dogs people overlook are the ones most worth celebrating.
From misunderstood breeds to longest-stay sweethearts, we create clothing and gifts that shine a light on the dogs who wait the longest — and the people who love them...
Lightbulb Heads is a clothing brand for dog lovers with big hearts and even bigger dreams — especially for the dogs no one else sees. Every design here is made with love and a sense of humor, all to help rescue dogs be seen and celebrated for who they really are.
We stand with the misunderstood and the misfit. We stand for bully breeds, rescue dogs, and all the overlooked ones who just need a little extra love. We believe fashion can be activism — and every shirt is a conversation starter.
We're a very small team with very big hearts, and we believe rescue dogs deserve a whole lot more than just a second chance — they deserve a spotlight. Lightbulb Heads exists to celebrate the overlooked, the underdogged, and the unexpectedly excellent, in all their tail-wagging glory.
Every design starts with love for one blocky-headed goofball and grows into a world where every pup is precious, every story matters, and the weirdos have their day. Thanks for being part of the pack.
Luke is a rescue mutt of mysterious lineage — possibly half teddy bear, half meatball sub — who spent over a year waiting at the shelter before finding his forever home. Now, he’s the heart behind Lightbulb Heads and the reason this brand exists. His mission? To prove that so-called “scary” dogs are some of the sweetest souls on Earth.
Luke’s hobbies include patrolling for crumbs, staring into your soul with loving judgment, and making humans laugh just by existing. He also loves Greek yogurt, bird watching, and you.
All designs were Luke’s idea (but don’t tell anyone — he gets shy about taking credit). He’s afraid of cats but he’d prefer to keep that off the record.
His official title is Chief Empathy Officer. Unofficially? He runs the place.
Most of our shirts are available in sizes XS–3XL, with inclusive fits and comfy styles. Be sure to check the size guide on each product for details. While we don’t yet have mockups for every size, rest assured — you’re included here, always.
All items are designed with love and made to order using trusted, U.S.-based production partners. This helps us reduce waste and offer more styles without overproducing — while still keeping quality and care front and center.
Most orders ship within a few days, but personalized pieces (like our signature Heart Sleeves) may take an extra 2–3 days. We like to think of it as the time needed to sew in the soul.
One day we read someone describe pitbulls as "dogs with lightbulb shaped heads" — and something about that just melted us. It stuck. It sparked. And here we are. Because love glows like a lightbulb, and rescuing is a bright idea.
Share the site. Tell a friend. Hug your dog. Talk kindly about rescue breeds. Every bit of love ripples outward.
We’re here with open hearts and inboxes.

We’ll reply as soon as Luke wakes up from his nap.
This shop is dedicated to Trevor, our dearly departed wonder pup.
He was a master of snuggles, a connoisseur of walks, and a gentle ambassador of the best kind of dog-hearted magic.
Even now, he teaches us how to lead with love.
May every happy wag, every soft shirt, and every act of rescue ripple outward in his honor.
