Living together in style with your pet is our mission here at PupStyle HQ and that extends to everything we do in life. Vintage Wine Estates makes it easy by offering a lovely, affordable wine your girlfriends will rave about at your next Yappy Hour gathering while also giving back to the Petfinder Foundation.

Founded as a labor of love by creator Terry Wheatley, Bar Dog is delicious California wine made to be enjoyed every day. For the love of dogs and all they bring to our lives, Bar Dog wines has committed to supporting rescue shelters across North America in partnership with the Petfinder Foundation. The Petfinder Foundation awards grants funded by Bar Dog wines to shelters, helping them provide pet food, supplies, and veterinary treatment for dogs awaiting adoption.

Non-profit rescue shelters simply visit Petfinder Foundation online and submit an application. Upon approval, funds will be distributed directly from a $30,000 fund supported by the sales of Bar Dog wines in the U.S. and Canada. These non-restricted operating grants from Bar Dog Gives Back help organizations continue their good work to find dogs their forever homes.

Check out Bar Dog Wine Chardonnay which is rich and creamy on the palate with flavors of baked apple with notes of baking spice and vanilla. It has a a buttery crème brulee finish and at $15 price point leaves you a little left over for dog treats! #PupStyleApproved

The holiday’s are quickly approaching and I am always on the look out for unique, gifty ideas that also give back to animal charities. I tracked down the ideal adult holiday gift just about any dog dog lover would appreciate. Hand over a bottle of Chateau La Paws Chardonnay to a dog rescue advocate/party hostess and the conversation will start flowing like wine!

This brand is dedicated to funding no-kill shelters and spreading the adoption message through their cash donations and packaging. The labels feature a rotating cast of 28 different shelter dogs with stories of a few also on their web site.

“In 2015 Chateau La Paws™ & Diageo Chateau & Estates are donating $100,000 to North Shore Animal League America to help fund the great work that they do to rescue, nurture, and adopt as many dogs as possible.” says their “Our Cause” page.

North Shore Animal League is extra special to the PupStyle crew because our current CEO, Mr. Oliver was for former resident. North Shore Animal League rescued Oliver from a puppy mill down south and gave him amazing medical care until I adopted him.

Of course, I can’t fully recommend a fine wine without sampling it myself, so I paired a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc with brie, sough dough crusty bread and red organic grapes. It was delicious! It has gentle fruit flavors of pineapple, kumquat and peach blossom creating a nice balance between sweet and savory.

A 750 ML bottle will only set you back $12.99 and you’ll feel extra good as you toast to the new year while helping shelter pets. Cheers PupStylers!!
