Alternative Housewife

I'm Janine, wife to Donny and mama to Sebastian (age 18 months). We live (with our annoying dog) in a simple, cozy apartment in Portland, Oregon, where we are working on building our home and our lives with style. I believe in buying secondhand, in basic and natural products, and in living fabulously on any budget. More about us.

OBEY Adopt

Jan 15, 2010 3:17 AM / 1 Comment

Zumiez is currently featuring clothing to sponsor causes, and my charity of choice is OBEY for Mutts Like Me.  I already love OBEY designs, and I can definitely get behind animal causes.  I plan to order this Obey Adopt t-shirt. 100% cotton, all profits from this shirt go to the cause.  Advertise this worthy cause on your body with great pop art and know your proceeds go on to help needy cats and dogs.

From the site:

Whether you want a specific breed or a marvelous mutt, you can be sure to find your new best friend at a shelter or rescue group near you. And if you can’t adopt a pet, there are plenty of other ways you can help our four-legged friends.

When you’re looking for your next pet, it’s easy to get lured in by the appeal of designer breeds, and even our dog wasn’t adopted from a shelter, unfortunately. When you find the right pet, you don’t care where they come from.  I’m not saying to turn down any pet, but try searching shelters and adoption websites first, before you move on to breeders.  I know firsthand that nothing compares to raising a puppy, and you don’t have to compromise that experience just because you adopt. My search of Adopt a Pet turned up several puppies and young dogs as well as older companions.

Looking through the pages, my husband and I couldn’t help but bookmark a couple pets to scope out. We haven’t even paid off our pet deposit for Rufio yet, and we also want a (human) baby soon, but I do think Ruf deserves a live-in friend, and cute dog faces are hard to resist.

This is my fave dog, adoptable in Oregon:

Isn’t she terrifying? I love ugly dogs!  I would name her Tallulah, but my husband would never have that. In fact, he wants to adopt this dog.
