Valentine’s Day special tee by Sugar Bear Designs and Johnny Ortez-Tibbels ©

Candy causes cavities and flowers die. Try giving your sweet Valentine a more substantial gift this year. Make a tax-deductible donation to DOGS and honor the love and bond you hold for each other and for your lovable low-rider. An anonymous source donated some Gildan unisex T-shirts to the charity and working with Sugar Bear Designs we created the special super limited tee only available here to our loyal fans. Here is how it works: 1) Make a $135 tax-deductible donation for a book – 102 Dachshunds and get a shirt for free (a $45 saving). 2) Indicate what size you want: S, L or XL. Special note: we ONLY have 11 shirts – 1 Small, 2 Large and 8 XLarge.

The smooth dachshund design has been our most popular T-shirt to date, and this is our third edition of the design. If you’re collecting them all, grabs yours while you can because once they’re all gone that’s it. We purposefully do not mass-produce our shirts or books to make them collectibles. Since we still have some longhair shirts left, we’ll include them in this 2014 Valentine’s Day promotion. Make a $135 tax-deductible donation between now and Valentine’s Day and get a book + T-shirt (of your choice while supplies last). Your donation includes a 2-days UPS shipping (a $20-$25 value). Also note, as our first-run book inventory depletes, the price will go up. We anticipate the price for the book will be $150 after this promotion going forward. Thank you in advance for the continued support. We can only do what we do with your financial help.

Quick share: I recently wore my new shirt to the VIP reception of the Pussy & Pooch Beverly Hills Pet Lifestyle Center where I received many nice compliments and inquires. Lily also got the chance to get some special face time with the super sweet actress Jane Lynch.
