Rebel Blog — give back

We've had this sweet girl for a full month now and she has made such incredible progress in just four short weeks. Her wounds have completely healed and her coat has even started to grow back. She has been steadily putting on weight and is finally ready for her spay.

She continues to impress us with how wonderful of a dog she is. Her temperament is laid back and easy going, and she loves people and dogs alike. She walks perfectly on a loose leash and is very well behaved in public. At restaurants she'll lay by your feet while you eat and she has never barked at another dog or person since we've had her. In fact, she rarely barks at all. She does however snort like a Frenchie by day and snores in her sleep like a little old man by night.

After her recovery from her spay she'll be ready for her forever home. And with a line-up of pending adopters waiting to take her home, it's pretty safe to say this little missy has a lifetime of love ahead of her! She thanks you for your love and support!

For the remainder of February we've teamed up with a very special duo of rescued Dobermans named Whiskey and Jax. You might know them as @whiskeyandjax on Instagram, but their humans simply know them as the heart of their family.

These two boys were rescued from the Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus and our raffle-to-win giveaway is to benefit their awesome organization.  Every $5 donation gets you one raffle ticket. You can buy as many as you like to increase your chances of winning and of course donate more to the cause. 100% of proceeds from every donation are donated directly to the Illinois Doberman Rescue and for each $5 donation you make your name will be entered into a raffle drawing.

On February 28 one lucky winner will be chosen at random to win a customized Monster ID tag of their choice and a bandana collar in their choice of size and print. Stock up on raffle tickets right HERE, and be sure to share this cause with as many dog loving people as you know!

Jax and Whiskey's Rescue Story:

Our friends Cutie and the Beast came up with an awesome collaboration alongside Lil' Woody's Burgers and Shakes to promote adopt-a-shelter-dog-month. If you are lucky enough to live near Seattle, Washington then you must go try their new dog approved Cutie and the Beast burger.  This bad boy is piled high with dog friendly ingredients so it's a-OK to share with your fury best friend. Loaded with peanut butter, apples, Swiss cheese, bacon, and 1/4-pound burger patty you may not want to share after all.

 Beginning today, October 21, 2014 through October 27 a portion of proceeds from the exclusive Cutie and the Beast burger will be donated directly to the Motley Zoo Rescue in Redmond, Washington. The Motley Zoo is a wonderful foster-based rescue that houses homeless animals with real families instead of in a shelter facility until they find their forever homes.

We teamed up with some other incredible sponsors to make this week even more fun by giving away some super cool prizes! Whether you're close enough to try the Cutie burger yourself or not, anyone can enter to win a Crazy Rebels collar of your choice!! Simply snap a pic of you and your pup and post it to your Instagram with the hashtag #woodyandthebeast. Full entry details below. So what are you waiting for you?! Shop on over to our collar collection and start picking out your free collar.

If you live near Fort Worth, Florida and happen to have Friday night free you should head to Bark and Bowl at the Palm Beach Strike Zone in Lake Worth, Florida for a night of FUNdraising, emphasis on FUN. Crazy Rebels goodies will be up for grabs (this these) as well as other awesome raffle prizes too. The event is set to include schWAG bags stuffed with rebel coupons and super cool prizes, DJ Flash spinning beats to wag your tail to, Rock N Bowl lighting shining on over 60 lanes and 600 bowlers, the Budweiser and Tito’s Vodka DogBar, and amazing raffles for trips and one of a kind silent auction items all while raising funds to benefit The National Canine Cancer Foundation. 

Eileen and Chris Pike started Bark and Bowl five years ago after losing both of their sweet dogs to cancer. Their loss was devastating, so this event has not only been therapeutic for the couple but has also sought to honor all dogs who have lost their fight with cancer including their own special Kiara and Skyler. 

The National Canine Cancer Foundation launched the Bark and Bowl event in South Florida and has so far hosted over 2,000 bowlers and helped raise $200,000 for canine cancer research. Bark and Bowl has expanded to cover five major cities including Jacksonville, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Portland,  and Las Vegas and continues to grow every year. 

Eileen and Chris joined The National Canine Cancer Foundation to honor Kiara & Skyler, to fight to save their newly adopted pups, and to fight for your dogs too. One in three dogs will be diagnosed with some type of cancer in their lifetime and of that half of them will die. We are out to break that cycle, and if we all work together we can be the cure! 

Join the event this Friday. Donate where you can. And hug your dog often.

We care. We care a whole lot, which is why we have partnered with the National Canine Cancer Foundation to spread hope and raise funds to fight cancer in dogs. The National Canine Cancer Foundation is on an all out mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue in dogs. By dedicating their contributions to directly funding cancer research they are working to save dogs lives by finding cures, better treatments and accurate, cost effective diagnostic methods in dealing with canine Cancer, and diminishing dogs suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service. 

Their accurately named “We Are The Cure campaign” is intended to rally every person who loves dogs to help turn research into treatments and cures that can soon benefit all dogs fighting for their lives because of Cancer. 

One of the things we love most about dogs is how big their hearts are. No matter what they are always ready to love, so we’d like to try to give as much of that back to them as possible by donating to this incredible cause. In honor of Pet Cancer Awareness Month we are donating a portion of sales from our Strength collar and Cancer inspired charms for the entire month of May, directly to the National Canine Cancer Foundation.

Want to contribute to the cure? Here are some ways you can do just that:

 Buy any one of our cancer charms: Fuck Cancer, Cancer Survivor, Cancer Sucks, or Down with Cancer and we'll donate 50% of the proceeds from your order.

 Buy a Strength collar in any color you like and we’ll donate 50% of the proceeds from every collar sold. 

BONUS way to get involved: If you are lucky enough to live near Lake Worth, Florida you can head out to the Bark and Bowl fundraiser on Friday, May 16. All the details right here.

And if you don't want to donate or buy anything but still want to help, you can always simply share the word. Let people know we're giving back! Share on Facebook for a simple way to spread the love.
