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!!! I’m a huge animal lover and my husband and I have adopted 3 cats over the past few years from shelters. We still have 2 (1 died- sigh) but we are absolutely enjoying and loving our other 2 cats. :) It feels so good to help out some furry little friends :)
Treat me. We have 2 Shiz tzu’s and a rescue King Charles Cavalier. Oliver, Ruby, and Winston. Next to our grandchildren, they are our babies.
TREAT ME Burger!!!
No big sappy story here, my bro and I both came from private breeders. But Mom and Dad got us at a family-owned establishment where they try to sell puppies that the breeders haven’t sold on their own. They were super nice, we go visit sometimes. Mom picked me because I had been there a while and it seemed folks didn’t like that I was an older puppy. It all worked out great for our family…yea, Mom knows where it’s at!

We haven’t rescued a pet, but we are looking into adopting a dog from a local dog rescue program.
:)
TREAT ME!!
Once while shopping for homes, my boyfriend and I happened upon an emaciated pit bull who had been left or forgotten during a foreclosure. We brought him home and fattened him up, and since our city has laws against letting pit bulls in animal shelters, we found him a beautiful home on a farm in Clarksville, TN.
TREAT ME!
I adopted Layla (my black lab) from the SPCA three years ago. Her tail was missing…we’re not sure if she was born with out one, or if it was abuse. Her tongue also has black spots all over it. Her weird idiosyncrisies made her so much more adopt-worthy :)
TREAT ME!
We have a Chihuahua named Archie who came from Small Dog Rescue of MN. His mom was rescued from a puppy mill and was so skinny they didn’t know she was pregnant. Archie is a total crack up and now he works with us to end puppy mills!
TREAT ME
I have rescued everyone of my furbabies. One of them, a kitty I named Phoenix, was actually picked up from a dumpster behind a hotel in Tempe, AR. She is fat, happy, and kickin’ it in Burbank with my old roommates.
TREAT ME
My daughter saved a teeny tiny kitten from being put down (literally, it was scheduled for 15 minutes after she adopted it). My resued dog, Kodiak, adopted the little furball, named Fawkes, and they just adore each other – the cat thinks that she is a dog, though…
TREAT ME!
I technically have not directly saved an animal, but growing up on a farm, my family has taken in many strays. I guess I did raise some kittens after their mom died when I was younger, so that counts. My dad has taken in many stray dogs and also a rabbit and two baby raccoons who lost their mother. We just kept the wild animals until they were ready to survive on their own.
TREAT ME!
All of my family pets have been rescued. Honestly, adopted pets are the bomb!
Treat Me!
Both of our cats are rescues. Muffin’s mom was a pregnant stray that a friend of a friend found and Brooke came from a shelter after being rescued from the streets of Allston.
TREAT ME! Every pet I have ever had (totals up to about 10 of them over the years) has been found or given to me. I actually have never officially adopted a pet, they just end up finding me! I have never purchased a pet, and still don’t understand why people do when there are so many adorable pets out there that need a home.
Treat Me!
I just rescued a beautiful cat from the Charlotte airport, and though I was unable to locate her owners, I was able to find her a loving home.
Treat Me!
We’ve rescued four cats (two from Humane Society, one from a no-kill foster/shelter, one from the streets), one of whom now has diabetes and Cushing’s Disease (and it’s cost a LOT to treat him – but we love him). Not only that, but we’ve had ten ferals spayed (one neutered), and took care of the colony for a couple of years. It was so sad to leave them, although they are still completely feral.
TREAT ME! I got my dog Charlie from the Humane Society. He was rescued from a mall pet store before that, and he must have had a really bad experience there because he’s still scared of almost everyone. Now he’s like my baby :)
TREAT ME!
I have 2 cats that my husband actually rescued from the woods near our old apartment 10 years ago!
TREAT ME!
Brujita, Stubby, Shadow and Tippy are all rescue kitties… they have provided their human owners with many fun times over the years, and Stubby as the latest addition at just a little over a year old is certainly sparking some life into the 10, 9 and 7 year olds in the house. Between chasing them, playing with them, and not letting them get the proper amount of required daily catnaps he is busy knocking stuff off his momma’s computer desk. With four furry felines that have a hankering for treats, canned and dry cat food these bags would sure come in handy and look pretty too!
TREAT ME
all the dogs I had as a little girl were rescue dogs…my sister is fondly known as the Crazy Dog Lady and has 6 rescue dogs…My husband and I are looking forward to the day when we can adopt a rescue dog–they’re the best!
Treat me!!
I live in a house with 2 people and 3 other furry friends. I was brought home by my dad last summer and named Hey Jude. I am all black and a little hefty right now. I was at the cat Dr and my mom saw three little black kittens awaiting adoption. She took a pic and sent it to my dad who asked “how many do you want?”. I was lucky enough to be chosen by mom and dad and I am now Sgt. Pepper, living in a great house with Boxster, the tabby, Gilmore, the Siamese, and Hey Jude. We had a dog named Max until this summer when he got sick. He loved cats and we miss him. You rock, Burger!!
Treat me!
Out baby (Tanner) is our pride and joy and we spread the word to everyone about all the love a dog can bring to a family.
TREAT ME!
My parents adopted me from a lady who has lots of dogs. I needed a good home and they needed a sister for their other dog Lucie. Lucie and I are now best friends, and I couldn’t be happier! (Unless, of course, I had realized earlier that Burger was going to be host a dog version of the bachelor and had been one of the eligible finalists!)
TREAT ME!
I got my lovely kitties from a no-kill kitty shelter near us. I ended up loving it there and volunteered there a couple of times before and after we got them.
TREAT ME!
My cat picked me out at the Humane Society. I walked into the room and he was asleep on top of the cat tower. When I sat down, he woke up, hopped down the tower and into my lap. He then went into my purse and picked out a candy. He proceeded to play in my lap until I couldn’t stand it and had to pick him up for a snuggle!
TREAT ME!!!
I really wanna puppy (or an older dog)..but I just can’t b/c I have a few more years of apartment living to go.
TREAT ME!
We rescued our cat Gorby and turned him from a tiny, sickly kitten into our chubby, snuggly tom cat.
Treat me!
We adopted our maltese mix, Bear, from the humane society a couple of years ago. And a couple of years before that, we adopted our beagle mix, Sophie, from a frat house that had to get rid of her. They are both the sweetest babies we could ever ask for.
Treat me!
Our cats were both rescued…first was a stray that my Dad could not keep so we gladly took him in. Our second kitten was about to head to a shelter, but we saved her just in the nick of time!
Treat me!
We rescued our Jack Russel/Rat Terrier mix from a rescue in July. They had rescued him from the local pound, where he was going to be put down soon (just typing that makes me sad!). Now he’s the most spoiled dog ever. Plus the first dog I picked out growing up was a rescue from the local shelter. I’m not sure I could ever get a dog any way other than rescuing!
TREAT ME (please)!
We adopted both our dogs, Roscoe and Olive, from Los Angeles animal shelters.
Treat me !! Omg i’d love to win! i live in the city and hate not having great bags like this!
Treat me!
I haven’t been able to save a dog yet but I’m on the lookout for a nice German Shepard and hope to take it into schools to read with kids.
“TREAT ME!!!!!!!!!!!”
My dog Jewels was hit by a truck almost three years ago. You would think a tiny, little 14lb dog would have met her match against a Ford F-150, but she came out on top. Well, she came out on top after 6 weeks of being immobilized, countless drugs, X-rays, and a top notch team at the University of Penn’s Veterinarian School. I get such a joy out of watching her jump, leap, and chase squirrels because there were certainly moments when I didn’t think she would be able to do any of those things.
TREAT ME!
One of the things I like to do is donate old towels or blankets to the local shelter. They can never get enough, and shelter puppies and kitties need snuggle blankets too!

We have 2 pound cats that are 8 and 6 years old. We got them when they were kittens. Our kids love them!
