About Teeny's Friends

We provide toys for needy dogs! At Teeny's Friends our goal is to make sure that no dog ever has to go without the simple pleasure of chasing a ball or snuggling a plushie. Our mission was inspired by Teeny, my own rescue dog & our mascot. We raise toys through monthly toy drives & the sale of our One For One toy (when you buy one, we donate one). The toys we raise are then donated to rescue groups, animal shelters, and families in low income neighborhoods. Read on to learn how you can help us help needy dogs!

Purchase Your Own Official Teeny's Friends One-For-One Toy!

Each is only $4.99 and when you buy one, we donate one to a needy dog! Buy your own via PayPal in the right-hand column below. Buy for yourself, as a gift, or as a donation for your favorite animal organization!

Summertime... And The Livin's Easy

"water park" at Snout by Snouthwest,
a dog festival in Austin on 6/5/11.
I just wanted to write a quick post, letting everyone know what we have been up to since our last entry. It's crazy hot in Austin right now - well over 100 degrees every day for nearly a month now. The humans and canines in our family are staying inside as much as possible! Hot weather + very little rain apparently = prime flea conditions. Both our dogs are very itchy right now so if anyone has any hints/tips/suggestions on how to make them more comfortable, I'd be forever grateful! Flea baths, flea spray, flea collars... nothing seems to be helping!

The main thing I have been working on this month is Teeny's upcoming "Seven Year Itch" themed birthday party. If you have not RSVP'd, please click here to do so. We are asking all guests to bring a new or gently used dog toy and we will be passing along all donated toys to our friends at Emancipet, one of our favorite local pet organizations. Teeny's "uncle Erik," who works for Sergeant's, sent Teeny two hugs boxes of toys for his birthday for us to hand out at the party or donate as we wish. What a cool uncle!

sent for Teeny's upcoming party.
Teeny's party will count as our toy drive for June. I haven't begun to line up our toy drive for July, but I am discussing a fun "End of Summer" beach-themed play-day party at Southpaws Playschool, probably sometime in August. I will be sure and keep everyone informed about the details once I have more of them!

We have also been busy with the launch of our social network site for pets, Virtual Petwork. We are rockin' and rollin' and already have over 200 members! Our friends at Dog Tipper just reviewed the site; click here to read their review. If you haven't signed up for an account yet, try it out - why not, it's free!

Hope to see you all at Teeny's party!
