Here’s a chance to do some good to help animals, while also finding out more about your own mystery mutt!

If you’ve adopted a dog from a shelter like we did with Daisy, then you might be curious to know more about their health, breed history and characteristics. Embark has launched a new Clear the Shelters initiative, and they’re asking all of us dog lovers to help out. It’s super simple to participate:

  • Vote HERE for your favorite shelter by August 31st. More votes helps them win a larger donation
  • Every shelter will receive a $100 minimum donation. After you vote, you can share to help increase the donations
  • For each post tagging @embarkvet on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter with the hashtag #cleartheshelters, they will add donations to the pot (up to $10,000)

Then learn about your own dog’s breed & health by using Embark coupon code CAMP50 for $50 off the Breed + Health Dog DNA Kit.

It’s a simple saliva test that you collect from your dog’s cheek at home using the swab and kit they provide, and then send back (return postage is prepaid for you). You’ll get custom reports about your dog’s ancestry, breed makeup, health traits and possible relatives they match with. Use this link to learn more about the Embark Dog DNA Test.

ASPCA Party Animal Pillows from PBteen

ASPCA is celebrating Adopt a Shelter Dog Month in a BIG way! Large dogs can often be overlooked because potential adopters think they require a spacious home and a big backyard. But when it comes to adoption, what matters most isn’t the size of your home – it’s the size of your heart. We can vouch for that…Daisy is a 50lb rescue mutt and we live in an apartment.

This October, tell ASPCA why you think BIG dogs rock and enter to win a pair of super CUTE ASPCA Party Animal Pillows from PBteen! And if you’re a proud parent of a bigger-sized dog, please share their photo on social media using the hashtag #BigLove and tagging @ASPCA. Visit www.aspca.org/BigLove for more info and to enter.
