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.

September 11th is a day for remembering, it's also a day for honoring, and also for being thankful. 

We remember all those who lost their lives on this day thirteen years ago. And those who lost loved ones. We remember the incredible strength and compassion we saw come forth after that horrific turn of events and we remember that united we stand.

We honor all those who risked their lives, who volunteered their time, and who gave everything to help others. We honor the all the dogs who helped through search and rescue and through therapy work. This story about a therapy dog who brought comfort and love to so many at Ground Zero will bring tears to your eyes, we promise. The undeniable understanding of our canine companions is something that will forever astound and inspire. 

And finally, we are so thankful for our freedom and the beautiful life we have today. America is a strong nation, and the resilience and unwavering perserverence through tragedy and devastation is something that makes us proud to call this place home.

Land of the free, home of the brave. We vow to forever remember 9/11.

We've spent the last week looking through hundreds of incredible photos for the Cutie and The Beast photo contest and are so touched by the amount of love and connection so many people were able to capture. There is such a special bond between human and dog and we feel honored that you shared these friendships with us.

Congratulations to the top nine #cutieandyourbeast finalists! It wasn't easy narrowing down the entries, but trust us when we say we looked at every single one. Thank you so much for all your wonderful photos. And a big thank you to Cutie and the Beast for help in making this contest so awesome.

National Dog Day was founded for two main reasons; to honor dogs, and to help promote the rescue of dogs from homelessness and abuse. Although we already love dogs every moment of every day, today in particular is an opportunity to raise even more awareness for rescue dogs and to formally appreciate the value and importance of dogs in our lives. It's a thank you to our dogs for making life infinitely better.

National Dog Day, also referred to as International Dog Day or National Dog Appreciation Day is celebrated each and every August 26th to publicize the amount of dogs that need homes and recognize all the awesome dogs who are already living the good life with their forever families.  Here's to the dog, our loyal companion. So post a picture of your dog(s), or share a picture of one who needs a home and help spread the word that DOGS ROCK!

In honor of dogs, here's a little flash sale to score 25% off EVERYTHING at CrazyRebels.com. 1 hour only. Go.
