Adoptable Pet of the Day!
The other day I had a revelation. If I can have a Vegan Shoe of the Day, why oh why do I not have an Adoptable Pet of the Day??? Lordy, lord. I don’t know why this took me so long, but here it is, the first Veggywood Adoptable Pet of the Day. Enjoy, pass on it, and pardon me for taking so long on this…. I think it is only appropriate that I start with a cat from the animal shelter I have volunteered at for 15 years, since I was in junior high, Friends of Animals... Read More
Speaking of Shoes….
Seriously, I think I should rename my website “Shoewood” sometimes because I feel that is all I talk about. But really, being vegan makes shoe buying…well, let’s just say, an adventure. I haven’t worn leather since I was a freshman in high school, so I feel like I’ve learned the ropes of faux leather buying by now. And of course, I love giving you guys my tips. Too many shoes on veggywood? I say no such thing. Anyway, I found ANOTHER great... Read More
I Want These!
If you’re a girl (or a boy) who wears heels, especially plastic shoes like us vegans, then you need these! Spare Soles are little roll up flats that you can pull out when your tootsies have just HAD ENOUGH, and slip on to save your feet! Now, unlike most products on The Animal Rescue Site these shoes aren’t fair-trade produced, or so it seems, but their purchase will fund 14 bowls of food for animals in shelters. You can of course purchase these shoes from the Spare... Read More
Heart Breaking: Record numbers of animals currently being euthanised in city shelters
This is the kind of article I hate to read. It makes me wish I had a big house, with a big backyard, that I could just fill with rescued animals. Of course, that is not possibly, and perhaps not even healthy. But maybe if we each ask one person who might be thinking of getting a pet to ADOPT, not buy (including from breeders!), we can make a difference. Right now is an urgent, desperate time for animal shelters all across the country, but especially in California. If you think... Read More
REPOST: Wanna Get Involved?
Do you want to get involved with animal welfare causes here in LA but don’t know how? Or perhaps the idea of standing on a corner with picket signs wearing bloody fur coats just doesn’t seem appealing to you? Well you are not alone. If you are looking for a more…civilized…form of protest, check out Best Friend’s efforts to wipe LA free of puppy-mill selling pet stores. The closure of the notorious Pet Love of Beverly Center is largely attributed... Read More
