Meet The Owners
Don Wingard
Co-owner Don Wingard, a US Navy veteran with 30 years of service, grew up in Texas and Arkansas. Don embarked on his coffee journey as a co-owner in a successful coffee company in Virginia from 2019 to 2022. His passion for quality coffee and commitment to animal welfare drive the ethos of The Doghouse Coffee.
Ulyana Wingard
Co-owner Ulyana Wingard, originally from L’viv, Ukraine, moved to the United States in the late 2000s, eventually becoming a proud US Citizen. Ulyana has successfully managed various ventures, including property flips, Airbnb properties, and a highly popular brewery in southeastern Virginia. Her business acumen and love for animals play a pivotal role in The Doghouse Coffee's success.
Our Furry Inspiration - Piper and Phoebe
In late 2020, Don and Ulyana welcomed Piper, a pit bull found as a stray in Hampton, VA, into their lives. Piper's incredible transformation from an 18-pound timid puppy to a 50-pound fur missile embodies the power of love and care. Piper, now the Chief Morale Officer for The Doghouse Coffee, even has her own coffee, actually a few of them, and t-shirt!
Joining Piper is her new sister, Phoebe the Golden Doodle, with more siblings anticipated in the years to come. The joy and fulfillment these furry family members bring are a constant reminder of the impact we can have on the lives of animals in need.
Thank you for choosing The Doghouse Coffee, where every sip supports a cause, and every purchase makes a difference. Brew with passion, change lives with us!
