National Puppy Day

It’s National Puppy Day! 

While today is celebrated by sharing photos of your adorable puppies and dogs, it’s also about raising awareness of shelter pups. Many retailers are offering discounts where a portion of the proceeds will go to charities who rescue dogs. But, you can always donate your time or money to the local dog rescue operations: DAWG, Santa Barbara Humane Society, K-9 Pals, and Spark Rescue to name a few.

If you feel like splurging on a new collar, sweater, or bacon treats, here on some options to shower your pup with love thanks to Time Magazine:

  • The Grommet: The company that makes these wool dog toys — washable and biodegradable — sources them from Nepal, where they are made by women paid fair wages in a safe working environment. Right now the toys 30% off the regular price of $12.95. Cue warm fuzzies all around.

  • Kohl’s: Through next Wednesday, you can get 20% off purchases of $100 or more with the promo code SUPERSAVER, or 15% off purchases under $100. That would bring the price of this cozy extra-large Serta dog bed, which is already marked down from $99.99 to $89.99, down to $76.49.

  • L.L. Bean: Get your favorite hiking buddy his own backpack for toting water and treats on your next adventure, which you can score right now for $10 off the regular price of $44.99 for medium ($54.99 for large).

  • Orvis: If your dog loves water, it’s a virtual guarantee he’ll be just as happy in mud. Keep this portable shower in your vehicle for those times when he’s too dirty even for the most rugged car seat covers. Right now, it’s just $69, $20 off the regular price of $89.

  • Personalization Mall: Make sure your best friend makes it home safe and sound if they wander off or slip their leash to bolt after a squirrel. These chevron-patterned dog tagscome in six eye-catching colors and four shapes, so you’re sure to find one that fits your pooch’s personality. Order one for just $6.39, 20% off the regular price of $7.99.

  • Petco: Owners of big breeds, this one’s for you. Petco knows what a drag it can be (literally!) lugging home giant bags of dog food all the time. You can now get 20% off your first shipment if you sign up for Petco’s convenient dog-food recurring delivery service with the code RDSAVE20.

  • Puritan’s Pride: Because even though you still love them when they’re stinky, it’s much more fun cuddling with a squeaky-clean fur-kid. Get up to 55% off a variety of shampoos, wipes, tools and other grooming necessities. No code necessary.

  • Walgreens: We promise, it is totally normal to get a poster-sized print of your puppy just so you can hang it up at work and look at that adorable squishy face all day long. While it’s not a deal aimed squarely at National Puppy Day per se, you can get 40% off prints and posters through Saturday only with the code VACAYPICS. Or, you can get 75% off all photo wall art through Saturday with the code DECORATE18.

He may be 12 (as of March 17) but he’s still a puppy in many respects. Miko was born and raised in Santa Barbara and was adopted from K-9 PALS at the SBCO Shelter in 2007! He now enjoys chasing lizards in Winter Park Florida!!

This is Fenrir, a Husky German Shepherd rescue, he’s about three months in the picture. Bottom picture shows him with his big sister Star, my old malamute wolf hybrid. Both pictures were taken the day after Fen came home to us from the shelter, which was two years ago. Credit for the pictures goes to my friend Sarah Hitzeman.
