Wine For Dog Lovers
Now wine lovers and dog lovers can share both passions thanks to California-based Carivintas Winery, which lets you put your dog’s mug right on any of their bottles to create your very own one-of-a-kind wine.
Sure, it’s fun, and who doesn’t like wine, but the best part is that each purchase also helps a worthy cause. Ten percent of each sale goes to a Carivintas-affiliated charity of your choice.
Custom-Labeled Wine
You can choose any of the individual wines they have available during the checkout process (just type in the varietal in the notes section).
After ordering, simply email the winery a photo of your pet (send email to info@carivintas.com) and they will create a digitally-painted label for you (or just have them design a label using your photo).
Price includes the design, set-up fee, label printing and the wine. Once they have your design, you can also reorder using the same label in the future.
The custom labeled bottles normally ship in 3 to 5 weeks. (Note: One image per order. Multiple images will constitute a change in price.)

My distaste for puppy mills notwithstanding, I’m pleased to report that, stepping away from its reputation as “The Puppy Mill Capital of the East,” the Pennsylvania Legislature passed HB 2525 on October 8, a bill that will improve the lives of tens of thousands of dogs living in Pennsylvania’s puppy mills.
HB 2525 doubles the cage [...]
Two years ago today, my husband and I rescued Greta, and our lives have never been the same since. Sure, it was hard in the beginning–after all, she was a puppy with no experiences outside of living in a wire crate 23 hours a day.
Slowly, she learned how to relax and live in a home. [...]
