Welcome to 2015! We're happy to be back in the driver's seat at All Things Dog Blog, where Tanner and Oliver are recuperating from a Doggie Hostel vacay, while I am coming around from a minor case of jet lag.

Today I'm excited to announce the winner of our holiday #PetCharityDonations Twitter giveaway event for which we plan to donate a case of canned dog food and food toppings to a Petfinder rescue. We want to thank those of you who participated during this busy time of year. Your photos were adorable, and added a spark of happiness to my days traveling. Layovers plus delayed and "broken" planes all added to the misery of flying during the holidays, but your photos pulled me out of the doldrums. Even more, the pups who get to enjoy these meals will be joyful in this New Year.

Our winner, @WindWolfPhoto, posted the above photograph. Feel free to join me in saying thank you on Twitter! I'll be in touch with this winner today. Meanwhile, watch for our upcoming giveaway events by checking out Fido's Freebie Friday each week and subscribing to our posts to assure you don't miss a thing. 

I'm heading back to writing down my resolutions now. Have you written yours? Check out what we're going to be working on--coming this Saturday in the #WeeklyWag--and please share your own plans. 

Happy New Year!

Natural Ultrablend Frozen Treats

Petfinder rescues are running a bit tight on food as the holiday season has taxed donations. All Things Dog Blog wants to help, and we're asking you to join us. When we announce the winner's name, we'll be making a donation to a Petfinder charity in the name of that winner. This could be you!

You can join in our giveaway on Instagram or Twitter by posting a photo (one pic per pet, per day) of your pet eating and including this statement: 

"Help us + #AllThingsDogBlog feed Petfinder pets. #PetCharityDonations giveaway: http://ow.ly/FKdRD"

If you prefer not to post pics of your pets, you may repost this picture of Tanner, taken at our last rescue donation for the #PetCharityDonations program that we sponsor. Don't forget to include the statement above.:

We'll run this event through the New Year and announce the winner's name here on Friday, January 2, 2015. Your entries will be collected by use of the hashtags in the required statement. After we get the winner's name, we'll deliver a whole case of Castor and Pollux canned food and supplements, like those used to make our Natural Ultrablend Frozen Treats, pictured above. These are one of Tanner and Oliver's favorite snacks; they're super healthy and full of fiber and vitamins. 

Start the New Year out with a good deed by paying it forward in this giveaway. We can't wait to see your pet's pics!

Thanks from #PetCharityDonations,

Tanner Enjoyed Our Grooming Donation Delivery

Six bags of yummy, USA-made dog treats are going to be delivered to a Petfinder rescue as a result of your efforts. Thank you!  We have learned that the rescue loves to know who their benefactors are, so it's nice to attach a name to the package and snap a photo as a record of the gift.

The delivery will be made at the earliest adoption day following my upcoming trip to Barkworld Expo. When we have delivered the goodies, we'll be sure to post a photo on FB and Twitter to commemorate the day. The boys and I want to thank you for participating in this #PetCharityDonations event. We hope that by setting an example, more people will find opportunities to donate their spare pet necessities to a local shelter or rescue where these items can most certainly be put to good use.

Today's winner, whose donation of 6 big bags of dog treats will be most appreciated, is

Angela C. I'll get in touch with Angela via my AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com email account. Watch for this email in your inbox or your spam file, and please get back to me with the information requested. Thanks much and congratulations!

Happy tails,

Tanner Loves Donation Deliveries 
and Meeting New Friends

Our latest donation was well received when we delivered two packages of cleanup and grooming supplies (poop bags, shampoo and more) to A New Beginning, a Petfinder rescue. I'm fairly sure the dogs will smell us coming when we bring in a boatload of bags of yummy, USA- made treats.

You can enter to win a giveaway for a Petfinder shelter, and we'll deliver it with your name on it, if you like. The most important part is that we get the donation made. Our friends at Petfinder.com need all the help they can get with supplies, foster homes and food for the many pets in their care. So join us and let's try to make a donation in your name.

Just use the entry form at the bottom of this post to participate in whatever way you'd like. Choose only those entries you enjoy joining in for. If you're having trouble getting the entry form to appear, simply click the post title above and it will Come When Called. I have it very well trained!

Thanks for participating in #PetCharityDonations,

#PetCharityDonations Helps Adoptable Pets Look Great!

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Our third #PetCharityDonations giveaway was once again a nice event. The rescue will be receiving supplies to help perk up their adoptable pups, making them clean and beautiful. The two packages include shampoo, ear cleaner, bandanas, and poop bags--to make sure that all that work didn't go to waste. I'll also be tossing in some Castor and Pollux Good Buddy Beef Sausage Treats so the pups can get rewarded after they accommodate a nice grooming session. Yum yum!

As soon as I get in contact these winners, I'll deliver the packages on the next adoption weekend and post a photo on Facebook and Twitter. Our winners are M. Noble and L. Szymoniak. Congratulations ladies, and thank you so much for supporting this charitable giving. I'll be in touch via AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com so watch your inbox and your spam file.

Watch for our next #PetCharityDonation event coming up in August. Thanks again to all who participated. Your generosity is heartwarming. :)

Happy tails,

Products being donated are either conference swag, unrequested review products or items we are unable to review. There has been no compensation to All Things Dog Blog for these products or donations.

You guessed it; we're back again to continue cleaning out the shelves of excess pet stuff that will benefit our local Petfinder rescue. And this time we're out to help the rescue make all the pups look and feel better. We've got first aid and personal care products, shampoo, and a handful of bandanas to top off their good looks when they head off to new homes.

If you're not already familiar with this donation program, I encourage you to read my introduction to #PetCharityDonations, so you'll be sure to know what you're entering. This is a win to donate type of program, with products going to Petfinder shelters, rescues and foster families.

Our last event brought 3 New Puppy Kits to our local Petfinder rescue. These bags included necessities like collars, pee pads, leashes, training treats, bowls and great goodies like Good Buddy treats. Here's a photo of the delivery:
