Hooray for the Underdog! Giveaway

by Shannan on December 31, 2008

I’ve always been one to root for the underdog, so when I found out about Hooray for the Underdog! through a friend on Twitter, I couldn’t wait to share this great charitable site with all of you. My family has always had rescued animals, and giving a good home to a homeless animal is something that means a lot to me. Even though we currently have no pets, I still have a love for animals – dogs, in particular.

Hooray for the Underdog! was started by a husband and wife photography team, with a soft spot in their heart for rescued animals. Janet Healy and Joe Grisham of HealyGrisham Photography have created a cute and charming line of notecards, journals, buttons and more that feature adorable shots of rescued dogs.

These kind folks have taken things a step further with their online store, however. Ten percent of the proceeds from the sale of their store are donated to animal rescue charities, giving a little help to the Underdogs in the city of Dallas.

Some very big names have taken notice of the good things that Hooray for the Underdog! is doing. The Underdog line was featured as one of Oprah.com’s Top Gifts that Give Back of 2008. We all know that it doesn’t get much bigger than making an Oprah list!

I was given a few of their products and have decided to share the goodies with two of my readers. That’s right, we have TWO winners for this giveaway!

  • One winner will recieve this journal:
The back gives a profile of the dog - Underdog:Oscar Profile: Cage #127. Rescued in the nick of time Special Power: A true scholar. Understands the word "cookie" in any language.

The back gives a profile of the dog - Underdog:Oscar Profile: Cage #127. Rescued in the nick of time Special Power: A true scholar. Understands the word "cookie" in any language.

  • Lucky winner #2 will recieve this notepad:
The profile on the back reads - Underdog: Bibi Profile: Worked very hard to get to the top. Special Power: Does her own stunts.

If you would like a chance to win one of these items, simply visit Hooray for the Underdog! and come back and share with us the name of one of the other dogs that are featured on their designs. These can be found by clicking on any of the individual notecards, notepads, journals, or folders in the store. Please be sure that you leave a valid email address in the comment field so that I can contact you if you win.

For extra entries, you can:

  • Tweet about the giveaway (up to 3 times)

Contest is open to US addresses only. This giveaway will close on Monday, January 5th at 11:59 pm EST. The winners will be chosen through Random.org and contacted through email. They will have 72 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen.

If you aren’t one of the lucky winners, or just want to get your hands on some of those adorable designs right away, visit Hooray for the Underdog! and make a purchase that can help to improve the life of an abandoned animal.

Spike- totally Spike. :-) I have a thing for dark chihuahuas. No idea why. Maybe I watch The Soup too much?

Happy New Year! You have hit a soft spot in me with this wonderful site. I was raised
in an animal loving family. My brother was a veterinarian for 33 years before he passed away! Recently, our two sons wanted a dog, so they adopted our Daisy Beagle puppy who was rescued from a puppy mill. I love the “Dolly Lama” dog on the journal. Please enter
me in your delightful drawing. I would really enjoy winning one of these journals.
Many thanks…..Cindi
