Donate $1 to Pets for Patriots with each new Facebook “like” for Annin Flagmakers

annin

It doesn't get easier than this. For each new Facebook "like" for Annin Flagmakers made by December 17, Annin will donate $1 to Pets for Patriots. Our goal is 1,100 new "likes" to cover the cost of transforming our used SUV into a Pets for Patriots mobile, complete with vehicle graphics installed by our friends at Dynamic Wraps. Annin Flagmakers is the world's oldest and largest flag manufacturer in the United States. Family owned and operated since 1847, they produce more than 30 million flags every year. And not just Old Glory: custom, state, international, sports, nautical and religious Continue reading …

Tale of the treats and other doggedly things

davey

Do you remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood? She went through the forest to her grandmother's house, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to mark her path so she could find her way home. This November, Pets for Patriots had its own fairytale, helping to create a modern day bread crumb trail across the U.S. that we hope leads thousands of shelter pets to their new homes. We inspired Freekibble to donate more than 20,660 bags of nutritious Halo Purely for Pets pet treats and meals to several of our member shelters and a Colorado pet food bank. Sweet! Perhaps some of those same tasty Continue reading …

Update: Peyton and Bear

We have some good news to report: upon learning that they would probably be put to sleep, the wife of the soldier who relinquished Peyton and Bear to the shelter has taken them back home. But the story doesn't end there... The soldier's wife is caring for their newborn child and lives in housing that is not pet-friendly. We've reached out to her to determine their interest to foster Peyton and Bear until the family can take them back permanently or, as an alternative, find a new and permanent home. So far we haven't heard back and will continue to reach out, respectfully, to inquire about Continue reading …

Update: Seleen has a new home

Remember Seleen? She's the eight year-old pittie mix whose owner, a wounded soldier, needed to find a new home. I'm delighted to say that Seleen has a new family with another wounded soldier in Colorado Springs. While we did not make this connection, I'm thrilled to know that Seleen has a new forever home. Thanks to everyone for their help and interest these past few weeks! Continue reading …

Tweets are sweet, but…

Twitter

Like many not-for-profits, we've been using social media to help create awareness of our charity's mission and recruit like-minded people to our cause. For now we're using our Facebook fan page, Dustin Wonderdog - our official Guardian Angel Dog who has more Facebook friends than I do - and Twitter. Continue reading …

True Blu

True Blu

We've been so busy and keep forgetting to post, but wanted to let you all know about our Patriotic Pet Pix contest winner! Blu is from New York City and definitely "represents" in his little camo t-shirt. In hindsight, our first contest was probably a bit premature (we were so excited and couldn't help ourselves!). After all, we just launched and not too many folks knew about us. Mind you, we've been hard at work to change that! Through our Facebook fan page, Twitter and good old word-of-mouth, we're making progress in letting people know what we're all about.
