We're kicking off this year by giving back!

Help save the magical unicorns. But, "what is a magical unicorn?" you ask. Magical unicorns are amazing dogs who, for one reason or another, have simple been overlooked at crowded shelters. City shelters depend on rescues like A Purposeful Rescue in Los Angeles, California to help these magical unicorns find their forever homes, but APR needs volunteers and donations to make this happen.

We've teamed up with some amazing rescue friends and wonderfully huge hearted companies to help raise money and resources for the magical unicorns at A Purposeful Rescue. We would love your support too! Any donation made automatically enters you in a raffle to win a super mega prize pack loaded with prizes from Crazy Rebels (hello cozy hoodie!!), Allku Pets, Hadley Clay Studio, Lasso Dogs, My Le Dogue, The Max Bone and The TrackR.

Here's how you can help magical unicorns AND win a prize package for your dog:

1. Make a single donation* to A Purposeful Rescue right on their website. Then comment below: "I donated to the APR fundraiser."

OR YOU CAN:

2. Purchase any item(s) from A Purposeful Rescue's Amazon Wish List** right here and comment below: "I purchased something from the Wish List for the APR fundraiser."

Our goal is to raise $2000 and donate every item on A Purposeful Rescue's Wish List by Feb 9. Please consider making a donation or sending a gift to a magical unicorn today!

GET YOUR DOG CARTOONED FOR THE CAUSE TOO! From now until January 15, 2017 we'll be donating a portion of proceeds from all cartoon JPGs and canvases to APR. Order yours here today!!

*APR is a 501C3 NON-PROFIT and all donations made directly to APR are tax deductible (tax ID # 46-3646857).

**Please send any item(s) purchased from Amazon to the address at the top of the Wish List:

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.

 

 

(CONTEST is closed. Check out the Runners Up.)

Crazy Rebels is all about making dogs and their humans happy. We like to think dogs walk a little prouder when they're wearing a Crazy Rebels collar, and we love how excited people get when their rebel gear arrives in the mail. Naturally we love to craft matching leather goods for people to match their pups. 

Cutie and The Beast are the most adorable dog/ human duo who fill their followers Instagram feed with daily smiles and sunshine. This three-year-old girl and her one-year-old best friend Doberman portray the absolute truest love between a human and a dog so we could  think of no better pair to launch our matching custom carved and painted Rebel Collar and Bracelet sets. We've teamed up with Cutie and her Beast to offer you an awesome contest to win your very own custom crafted collar and matching bracelet.

How to enter:

1.) Follow @cutieandthebeast and @crazyrebels on Instagram. 
2.) Post a picture of you or your child with your dog on Instagram and hashtag it with #cutieandyourbeast. You can enter as many different pictures as you like. All pictures entered must be posted between 8/22/14 and 8/29/14, 11:59 p.m. PST. 
3.) For an extra entry you may repost the picture above to your Instagram.

Contest ends 8/29/14 and is open to all breeds, all over the world. Pictures will be judged on originality, creativity, and clarity so show us what you've got! 

What you'll win:

The winning entry will receive a custom Rebel collar and matching bracelet set from Crazy Rebels. The Rebel Collar was created to help people design their dog's dream collar. From conceptualization to completion, you'll work one-on-one with our leather crafter to come up with an insanely one-of-a-kind collar for your dog and a matching bracelet for you (or your kiddo). The Rebel Collar set is hand carved and painted; your masterpiece, custom crafted with excellence by Crazy Rebels.  

The winner of the Doberman Pinscher collar giveaway is Laura and her Doberman Dimitri. As a company that thrives on creativity, there is nothing we love more than to see instances of wildly creative thought take shape. We loved Laura's poetic approach to an otherwise simple contest entry and we can't wait to deck out her dobe in his very own Bolt Collar.

Here's her awesome entry:
