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!
We got Maggie the Supercat at the ARL and she is A-mazing – I suspect she learned a lot from those other animals that were sharing the space while at the rescue league because she knows how to fetch, come to the door when we get home, and a lot of other dog-esque things. I guess you’re not the only one who thinks dogs are superior Burger! Maggie wants to be one!

When I was 16 my boyfriend wanted to give me, as a Christmas present, a kitten that had adopted his family. My mom axed that idea because we already had two cats, but she “kindly” suggested that it would be the perfect gift for my half-brother, who was 6 at the time. Imagine my dad and stepmom’s surprise when I showed up on Christmas Eve holding a kitten with a red bow around its neck, and then handed it to my little brother.
A nice thing to do for the kitty, who lived for another 15 years. Not such a nice thing to do to my dad and stepmom. Luckily they ended up loving that cat like it was their “other child,” so it all worked out!
“Treat me”
I rescued my three kitty-cats this summer. My eldest, Oreo, is from the local Humane Society. She’s six years old. Hemi, a polydactyl (she has seven toes per paw) came from a local rescue, as well as Eddie (who turns one today!). I wanted cats while I was in grad school (past five years, since I graduated college in 2004), but wanted to wait until I could afford to provide them with a great home. Pet-friendly rentals were also hard to come by near my grad school. I also donate monthly to the ASPCA, and am a vegetarian. :-)
Treat me! I got my doggy when he needed a new home after not working out where he was. I plan to scour the newspaper or local vet’s office when we decide to get another. There are tons of animals waiting for good homes!
Treat me!
Although I don’t have time to volunteer, I donate to the local animal shelter to help those furry friends without homes.

oh Burger I knew you would have a great giveaway for us! Treat Me! We adopted a pup, Hoppy (she was very true to her name). Though she was bred to be a showdog, she was the runt of her litter and supposedly not good enough to show. She was just the cutest little Boston you’d find! I miss her so much!

Growing up we never bought pets. Unfortunately because we lived across the street from an SPCA people thought dropping their pets off on the side of the road was close enough that the SPCA would catch them (rarely the case). BUT, lucky for the dogs and cats that came to our house we ended up adopting a lot of them. :)

We have Anubis and Ra (they are cats, sorry Burger, we’re not allowed to have dogs in our apt but we can’t wait to get one once we have a house!) We’ve had them since they were kittens – they are brothers – and are totally part of our family!

My parents’ cat – let me start over – the cat that lives at my parents’ house (he’s his own man), was found by a friend in the woods as a teeny tiny baby. So you could call him a rescue. We had to bottle feed him and everything.

One spring in our woodpile there was a kitten born to a stray who roamed the streets of our neighborhood. My kids and I took care of the kitten for a few weeks until I found a suitable home for her (which was way harder than I thought). It was great for my kids because my husband is allergic to cats so we can’t have any.

TREAT ME! I haven’t technically rescued an animal, but I brought home a kitten from my grandmother’s cat’s litter (she has a litter of kittens quite often!) And, he actually gets a long very well with our German Shepherd!
TREAT ME! :)
We just adopted Omar from Hickory Hill K9 rescue in August and he fit right into our home. We give him lots of love and he gives it back. I think it was meant to be. We saw him on their website, visited him in person and filled out an application. Another couple had first dibs but decided not to get him, so we were the lucky ones!

I rescued my baby kitty, Maggie Kay, from a place that rescues animals from the county animal shelters and puts them in “foster homes” until they are adopted (they are a no-kill, unlike the county animal shelter). Foster homes are volunteers with the program. We now donate food and litter every so often to where we “chose” her.
She loves playing in our reusable bags when we get home from the grocery store. First, she sticks her little face in the bag to see what we’ve picked up for her, then jumps in!

We rescued 2 twin CATS from the local humane society. They were great! if it were not for us they probably would have went to kitty heaven :( They are long gone now but oh how fun it was to know we were rescuing them!

All three of our dogs are rescues, but our youngest has been with us since she was three days old. We were volunteering at our vet and they asked us to foster three puppies that had been found on the side of the road. We couldn’t say no. When we got them their eyes weren’t open and they had to be bottle fed every two hours. We lost two of the puppies within 72 hours to internal bleeding and an infection. After becoming extremely protective of the remaining puppy we decided that we couldn’t let her go. She is currently 7 months old, 60 pounds (and growing) and a naughty little puppy. We couldn’t imagine our lives without her though.

I rescued Miller, our puggle! He is the best thing in the world!

My kitties are rescues and are now the most spoiled creatures on the face of the earth; I think they have it real good!

Oh, I’ve rescued oh so many. My toy poodle Lenny was a rescue from http://www.hua.org (Hearts United for Animals), he was a puppy mill dog that was no longer useful to the mill and they were going to put him down until the wonderful people at HUA rescued him.
