Trisha Yearwood Worked with Her Rescue Dogs to Create Her New 'Practical and Pretty' Pet Line

From an early age, Trisha Yearwood was certain about two things: she wanted to grow up to be a professional singer, and she loved animals.

"Since I was a little girl, I have always been the 'Daddy, can I keep it?' girl," Yearwood, 56, tells PEOPLE about her history with rescue pets.

Now, the three-time Grammy Award-winning country superstar is ready to share that passion for pets with the world. On April 15, Yearwood is launching the Trisha Yearwood Pet Collection — a carefully crafted line of dog treats, beds, bags, collars, and more.

"It makes sense for me to be in the pet world since it is something I talk about all the time," Yearwood says of the collection.

Yearwood is constantly talking about pets because she is the proud dog mom to two rescue canines — Emmy, a former stray that the singer saved from a country road, and Millie, a pooch she and husband Garth Brooks adopted after the couple saw the dog's adoption listing online and Brooks proclaimed "That's our dog!"

Emmy and Millie have understandably left pawmarks all over Yearwood's new pet line. Not only do the pooches appear on some of the packagings for the Trisha Yearwood Pet Collection, but the dogs also help test and shape the products too.

"My dogs are indoor-outdoor dogs. They will dig around and roll in things. I want them to enjoy their lives," Yearwood says of Emmy and Millie. "These are the real dogs that inspired me, so we made dog bedding that is machine washable and wipes to get dogs clean quick in between baths."

Yearwood also looked back on her years of experience as a pet owner to figure out the collection's look and feel.

"I wanted it to be practical and pretty," she says, noting that the Trisha Yearwood Pet Collection's quilted backpack, which comes equipped with plenty of adjustable compartments and a poop bag pocket, is one of her favorite products because it blends both traits so well.

Along with making life easier for pet owners, Yearwood also wants her collection to improve the lives of animals everywhere.

"I hope that this pet line will give me the opportunity to help more shelters and rescue animals and have the chance to educate others about the importance of spaying/neutering your pet and pet adoption," she adds. "Animals that you rescue, there is just nothing like them. It's such a wonderful gift. It's unconditional love."

  • Explainer-Why was Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction overturned, and what's next?

    Thursday's ruling overturning Harvey Weinstein's New York rape conviction gives the one-time film mogul a chance at a new trial and calls into question what evidence prosecutors can use in future sex crime cases. But a 4-3 majority of the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, found that the trial judge should not have permitted three other women to testify that Weinstein had assaulted them as well because their allegations were not part of the criminal charges against him. Such testimony about "prior bad acts" is usually barred by New York's so-called Molineux rule, named for a landmark 1901 court case.

    The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's ban on "noncompete" agreements commonly signed by workers is likely vulnerable to legal challenges, experts said, as some courts have grown increasingly skeptical of federal agencies' power to adopt broad rules. About 30 million people, or 20% of U.S. workers, have signed noncompetes, the agency said. Business groups led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, tax services firm Ryan LLC, and a Pennsylvania tree trimming company have already filed three lawsuits claiming that the FTC, which enforces antitrust laws, lacks the power to determine which business practices amount to unfair competition and should be banned.
