Treats: Enviro-Pouches For Pooches
***This treat isn’t taking entries anymore. Sorry people.***
I hear you people-y types like free things – so here goes nothing (though I highly recommend being a dog, we don’t pay for anything).
Bags can be bad, like when we are shoved in them. Bags can also be good, like when you clean up after us with them. But when Rocco’s mom over at Envirosax told us about their promotion with the ASPCA this month, I realized that bags can be really good.
Not just because they’re reusable, but because Envirosax is donating $1 for every pouch sold in November to the ASPCA to help pets who aren’t as lucky and Rocco and me.
So Rocco and his momma wanted to spread the word by letting me give a free pouch (that’s 5 whole bags!) to THREE different animal lovers out there, kinda like my parents did a few months ago on their blog. And since they’ve already got this giveaway thing down, I recruited them to help me with this next part…
- THE TREAT: A 5-bag pouch of Envirosax, any design from their graphic series (check them out, they’re super cool)
- TO ENTER: Leave me a comment on this post saying “TREAT ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …I’d love to hear any good stories you have about rescuing your pet or otherwise doing something nice for us animals out there. Every little bit helps, so here’s your chance to brag.
- GIVEAWAY ENDS: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three lucky humans (or dogs who like to grocery shop)
- ELIGIBILITY: Pouches can be shipped to the US and Canada
- DETAILS SCHMETAILS: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!
I follow the same giveaway policies as my parents, so get more info on their Giveaway FAQs page. Images courtesy of Envirosax.

TREAT ME!!
our dog’s mama was rescued when she happened to be pregnant, so harper is kind of a rescue-by-association.
TREAT ME!
Our kitty is a rescue cat!
And on an environmental note, I just wanted to give a shout-out to my Etsy shop, Hannah’s Toybox (http://hannahstoybox.etsy.com) where I have reusable produce sacks, so you don’t have to bring ANY plastic bags home! :)
Treat me!!
My Rylee was hit by two cars…I took her straight to the Animal Emergency Room…cried and stayed with her all night…drove her to the Animal Hospital the next morning and visited with her favorite treat several times a day for the next two weeks. After a huge bill and lots of love, she was back on her feet a few months later. It was worth every penny and a year later is doing great!!
TREAT ME, please!
Both my dogs are from the shelter. My chihuahua was homeless; he was hit by a car and was found wandering around with open wounds and (sorry this is graphic) some of his insides were out. The Humane Society picked him up and he was fixed up after several surgeries (and a tail amputation). The second I saw his name and picture on their website (his name is Atticus, from To Kill a Mockingbird – my cat’s name is Scout, also from the story), I knew it was meant to be. He is my baby!

We saved a family of baby bunny rabbits once when I was a kid. It was a great lesson in nature and needing to let go.

I’ll try to be concise. Pardon the sentence fragments.
1st dog – from Richmond’s southside – a hairless and emaciated Rottie mix. One look in that dog’s eyes and I knew she was meant to be my bff. But she was rough – eye injury, bullet in her leg, mange. Uber-aggressive with men, anyone in a hat, uniform, etc. But I knew she was worth it. I moved to a rental home that would allow dogs JUST so I could keep her. Trained the heck outta her to fix the aggression. It worked. A year later and several doggie opthamologist visits later we had to remove her eye – the injury, caused by trauma. Next year we went to fix her knee, and her entire bone appeared to be riddled with cancer. The orthopedic surgeon swears to this day it was a miracle that it was not malignant. Despite her many injuries and initial aggression, she is my shadow, and is amazing with children and cats. She accepts my foster kittens like they are puppies, cleaning them and letting them try to nurse on her.
Then there’s Merlin, the puppy-turned-Shepherd I found in the same block of RVA a year later. Was an angel from day one, potty trained in a day. I’ll never camp without him again – we’re pretty sure he’s the reason my friends and I weren’t attacked by the man who stalked us during the night on a backpacking trip in the middle of Shenandoah. Not joking. Between his protection and Charlie’s devotion, I’d say I’ve got the two best pups a girl could ask for. But I know I’m biased…
TREAT ME! I always cut up the plastic things attached to cokes, etc. (even at work).
TREAT ME!
Love Burger’s new blog!!
I rescued my beloved bunny from the Humane Society. He was one of 4 brother buns that was found abandoned in a box.
Treat me!!
I’m currently working on finding a home for a stray kitty a coworker found. My two kitties would definitely veto another animal right now!
Thanks for the giveaway Burger!
TREAT ME! We rescued our cat Lola. We first fostered the mother who had 4 babies (in our home) and chose our baby girl Lola to keep forever. She is so sweet–we had to bottle feed her (and the other three) the first three weeks because the mother didn’t live through the birth. Very emotional, but they are all loving and very people-friendly!
Treat me!
We are looking to get a pet finally. Rescuing is so awesome- but I want to get them all!!!

Our dog, Glacier, came to us from the SPCA. She had been with them for three months, and gave birth to puppies right after arriving. All of her puppies were adopted, but no one was interested in taking her home. But we were! She was totally housebroken when we brought her home, and knew simple commands like sit. The day we brought her home, we ran into one of her puppies at the park near our house! Too fun!
Treat Me!
I have a chocolate lab and a terrier-boxer mix pound puppy.
What am I doing that’s good for them? Letting them live.
Seriously.
My pups are cute and adorable, but are havoc on eight legs.
I’ve considered many times putting them or myself to sleep…
TREAT ME!
I just want to give a shout out to The Ark, a local no-kill shelter in north Alabama. It’s a great organization!
TREAT ME!
Both of my wonderful furry children(dogs) are from the shelter. When I was a kid I volunteered at the humane society and at a horse rescue farm. My heart always goes out to animals who don’t have loving homes.
Treat me!!
My fiance and I rescued our puppy from the local humane society this past summer… Sensei is crazy and full of energy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
TREAT ME!
Two kitties and one dog from the local shelter. All three are the best!
Treat me!
We got our first cat, Valentine, when I was a year old. She was with us until I went to college!
Treat Me!
I found my beloved pup on a float trip. I put him in my canoe, he almost drowned, I saved his life, fell in love, and then I took him home with me. If we ever get him a brother or sister, we’d like it to be another rescue.
TREAT ME! Daisy joined us in November 2008. She came all the way from Taiwan! She was found, abandoned on the street with her sister Maisy. Both live the high life in Seattle Washington thanks to Ocean Dog Rescue.
TREAT ME!
I adopted “Eggnog” from a great shelter in Nashville almost 7 years ago. Yes, that was her name at the shelter and I haven’t changed it…isn’t it great?!
TREAT ME!
Our pup was the dog of a family friend, but he was a little rowdy and liked to get into their chickens. The neighbor threatened to kill the dog next time he saw the dog on the property, so we adopted him instead. :)
Treat me! My rescue pup has been with me for almost 11 years now. I was volunteering at the Humane Society and knew I’d end up with a dog. Gracie was “returned” one day and I saw her come in. It was love at first sight. I took her home that day and she’s been with me ever since. She’s a wonderful dog!
TREAT ME!
Somehow, we’re a house of animal lovers with no current animals. But we’re planning to rectify that soon by adopting two cats from a local shelter. We feed the squirrels all our leftover seeds (garden, gourd, and otherwise), and last year we brought a bird in distress to a bird rescue centre. I guess that’s not a lot … I can add that I also stop to pet every pooch and kitty that I cross paths with.
Treat me! Both of our dogs are rescue dogs. I wish we could take home all the dogs at the shelter!
TREAT ME!!
My lovely cat, Hitchcock, the love of my life was adopted from our local animal shelter. I was NOT at all thinking of getting a cat, just wanted to go and show the animals some love. But Hitchcock [whose name was actually Jaspurr] stole my heart and I immediately filled out the forms and took him home the next day! Hitch was the best 75 bucks I’ve ever spent and can’t even DREAM of what would have happened if I didn’t decide he had to be mine!
