Super-Exciting Post Alert: Please note that the contents of this post may lead to uncontrollable tail-wagging.
October is National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month! The generous people who make Frosty Paws® Frozen Treats came up with a great way to celebrate National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month -- by giving away Frosty Paws prize packages! They have provided me with TEN Frosty Paws prize packages to give away to ten of my readers. As my readers well know, Frosty Paws is one of my absolute favorite treats, so I am thrilled to be hosting this giveaway.
Each prize package consists of two coupons for a box of Frosty Paws for you and a plush toy Frosty for your human puppy siblings. [Total ARV $17.63] Please note that the Frosty plush toys are not suitable for dogs. Since Frosty Paws are only available in the United States, I can only award prizes to U.S. residents.

To determine who gets a prize package, I am holding a Support Your Shelter/Rescue Challenge in honor of National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. For various reasons, we cant all go out and adopt a shelter dog right now, but there are many other ways in which we can support animal shelters and rescue organizations.
This is how my Support Your Shelter/Rescue Challenge works:
This is how my Support Your Shelter/Rescue Challenge works:
To enter the giveaway, post a comment below telling me how you &/or your humans have supported an animal shelter or rescue organization in the past (by adopting a shelter/rescue animal, volunteering, donating money or goods, etc.), or how you have helped a homeless dog find a forever home.
(If you are unable to post a comment below, you may enter by sending an email to me at garth.riley@rocketmail.com. Ill do another post at the end of the contest which will include the email entries. Please put "Adopt A Shelter Dog Frosty Paws giveaway" in the subject of the email.)

There are many ways you can support your local shelter or rescue group: by adopting a shelter/rescue dog, fostering a dog, volunteering for a shelter/rescue, making a donation to a shelter/rescue, participating in or attending a fund-raising event, etc. If you have provided a foster or forever home for a homeless dog, that counts, even if you didn’t go through a shelter or rescue organization. This will hopefully give others ideas of ways they can help support their local shelter or rescue organization.
To give you some ideas, Ill tell you about some things my humans and I have done recently to support animal shelters and rescue groups. This year, my mom, dad, and I have helped animal shelters and rescues by:
Organizing & participating in Dog Scout Troop 194s fundraiser for SEVA GRREAT (Southeastern Virginia Golden Retriever Rescue, Education and Training), sponsoring my buddy Ciscos bid for the Richmond Animal League 2013 calendar, participating in the Richmond SPCA Dog Jog, contributing to Odessa Rescue and Rehabilitations chip-in for Jasmine, donating items to Odessa Rescues auction, attending Henrico Humane Society’s Bark in the Park, supporting Marr-Velous Pet Rescues & Adoptions by attending Yappy Hour, and referring friends to local animal shelters and rescue organizations. See how easy it is to help homeless animals!
If you havent done anything to support your local shelter/rescue organization, you can still enter this giveaway by doing something and then posting a comment about it. If you don’t have money to donate, you can donate your time or you could donate something you make to an auction. Mom was very pleased and amazed that a frame and five ornaments she donated to Odessa Rescue’s auction brought in over $100 for Odessa!
Bonus entry:
To get an additional entry in the contest, do something during the month of October to support an animal shelter or rescue organization, and post a comment (or send me an email) about it. Make an additional donation, take a shelter dog for a walk, attend a fund-raiser, etc.
The contest is open to dogs, cats, etc., but you must have a dog family member or friend who will enjoy the Frosty Paws -- I dont want any coupons going to waste! You must be a United States resident because Frosty Paws are only available in the U.S. (sorry my non-U.S.-resident friends).
The contest begins today and will continue through 12 midnight Eastern Standard Time on October 27. Winners will be chosen by a random drawing. I will put all names in a basket and will draw ten names. Winners will be announced on October 28.
Dont worry if it takes a while for your comment to appear. I moderate the comments, so they disappear after you type them, then appear after they have been approved.
Good luck!
Many thanks to Frosty Paws for providing all prize package materials, including coupons, plush toys, and shipping envelopes, and for paying all shipping costs! The giveaway was totally their idea! I LOVE Frosty Paws! (and no, they are not paying me to say that!)
