Hi, I’m Eliana Galeano and this is the heart behind NYC Guardians, a company built with love by my husband Edwin and me, inspired by the animals who changed our lives forever.
 

It all began the day I locked eyes with a stray dog and made the decision to bring him home. That dog, my beloved Toby, became so much more than a pet. He became my purpose.

Toby brought unconditional love and joy into our lives from the very first moment. He could sense my emotions without a word. When I was feeling down, he would gently rest his head on my legs, as if to say, “Don’t be sad, I’m here.”
And every time I came home, his pure love and excitement reminded me to cherish the simplest moments.
 

In 2021, our family grew when we adopted Tinker, a brave little rescue with three legs and a heart full of light. She reminds us every day that resilience can wag its tail and brighten the world.

This year, with broken hearts, we said goodbye to Toby. But his spirit lives on in every dog we care for, in every walk we take, and in the love that led us to create NYC Guardians.
 

This company was born from love, gratitude, and the desire to protect those who teach us to live with joy, presence, and loyalty. Because every walk is more than just a walk, it’s a connection, an adventure, and a promise to care deeply.
 

In loving memory of our Guardian Toby, who showed us the way.
With love,
Eliana, Edwin & Tinker
