Wonderful Pairing: Wine and Paws



I can't vouch for the quality of the wine -- haven't gotten a taste yet -- but the artwork looks fetching (no pun intended) and the cause worthy, and will benefit the Animal Trustees of Austin. The Wines That Benefit program offered through wines.com donates 20%* of wine sales to a designated charity and features signature wines paired with hand-picked original artwork. The program offers a no-fuss way to raise funds, give great wine gifts and support a wonderful cause. Reasonably priced: The Domaine Savoreaux Bien Nacido Pinot Noir 2008 ($), Domaine Savoureaux Bien Nacido Pinot Noir 2008 ($39) and the Gruet Blanc de Noir Reserve NV ($30).

365 days of smiles. The 2011 Calendars showcase more than a dozen Central Texas pets including some CTSPCA alum. Price:$15. Order here.

Putting a face(book) on the numbers: What no-kill at the Town Lake Animal Shelter looks like


At $10 increments -- the price of two ristretto tall non-fat extra-hot no-whip half-sweet sugar-free gingerbread lattes at Starbucks -- locals chipped in to save a baby face like the one pictured above. Look at what small donations did for these cuties. All of the pets in that Austin Pets Alive face book photo album were scheduled to be euthanized, but were saved, thanks to everyone who participated. It added up! More than 249 pets saved and $23,200 raised during the austin pets alive 2010 Save A Life Drive, which ended Sunday.
