Hello! We are Pup Country Candles- an artisanal candle company with purpose.

At Pup Country Candles we breathe new life into discarded materials by using recycled wax and wicks from events here in Charleston, South Carolina- one of the largest wedding destinations in the world. In teaming up with local vendors, we are able to repurpose these discarded materials, thereby reducing waste in our community.

In addition to our catalogue of ready-made candles, we offer private candle making classes in the greater Charleston area. These classes are tailored to the theme of your choice, and are the perfect activity to celebrate birthdays, bachelorettes, showers, work events, holiday parties, and more!

In addition to her love of candle making and reimagining materials, Pup Country Candles founder, Amanda Pena, also boasts a love for dogs and dog training. With a master’s in education and certifications in animal behavior, Pena has been training dogs for over 10 years. As a behavioral consultant, Pena has seen firsthand the need for resources and equipment in her community- particularly in a post-pandemic society in which many dogs have gone without the proper socialization needed for a healthy lifestyle.

It is Pena’s mission to use the proceeds of Pup Country Candles to help supply resources and training equipment to families with pets in need.
