We are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Sirius Republic, creator of some of the most beautiful and sturdy handmade collars available!
Sirius Republic has created ten brand new collar patterns, and shipped one of each to Love-A-Bull as a beautiful gift to our Adopt-A-Bulls. For some of these dogs — especially the five arriving this weekend via long-distance transport from dog fighting busts on the East Coast — these lovely collars will be the first new thing they’ve ever owned. At the bottom of this post you’ll see instructions for how you can help dress our dogs in these collars, and be entered to win a Love-A-Bull t-shirt, too!
But there’s more! The ten collars — all named after Austin-area landmarks and things we love about Texas — have been branded as special Love-A-Bull collars. This means that for every collar of these patterns purchased, Sirius Republic will donate 20% of proceeds right back to Love-A-Bull. How cool is that?
So if you purchase one of these ten gorgeous collars for your very own pooches, you’ll be throwing a donation Love-A-Bull’s way, too. Our own adoptable Snickerdoodle and his foster brother Chick will be the cover-models for the new initiative, and the collars can be found under the hot-pink “Love-A-Bull” link on the left-hand side of the Sirius Republic website:
Dress our Dogs Game
To help us dress our Adopt-A-Bulls, simply match the five collar patterns below with the five Adopt-A-Bulls we’ve randomly selected from our crew. Enter your pairings into the comments box of this blog post, and sit back and wait! We’ll draw a lucky winner early next week, and dress our dogs in that winner’s pairings. To sweeten the deal, the winner will also receive a Love-A-Bull t-shirt of their choice.
Let’s play!
Match these collars:
With these Adopt-A-Bulls:
The contest closes on Tuesday at noon Central, and the lucky winner will be announced on our blog next Wednesday! We can’t wait to see what y’all come up with!

Truffle – Hippie Hollow since she is such a peace-loving girl
River – Enchanted Rock since he was found on one and it must have been enchanted to save him
Coco Puffin – Texas Two Step so that she can get her own model mojo strut
Peanut – Lady Bird since she is such a little lady

I have to admit… I picked my favourite collar pattern (Lady Bird) to go with the dog who sounded most like the one I’d adopt out of all five! Picking favourites isn’t wrong, right?

Coco Puffin – Enchanted Rock, for the daydreamer snugglebug
Truffle- Hippie Hollow, a yoga loving dog, who else would I pick for that collar?

Peanut (TX 2 Step) – Seems like a Texas Two Step kinds gal. She can use those puzzle solving skills to avoid stepping on other paws.
Maxine (Broken Spoke) – Where else could you find a class clown but struting her stuff across the dance floor hamming it up for everyone at the Broken Spoke.
River (Enchanted Rock) – I am sure this guy is pretty fond of rocks especially large ones that can save a life.
Coco Puffin (Hippie Hollow) – Don’t all Austin supermodels strut their stuff in nothing but sexy collars at Hippie Hollow (okay maybe not). But she looks like she could pull it off with ease!
Truffle (Lady Bird) – Yoga, Meditation, and chirping birds – sonds like a good comination to me!
Awesome news today…..I’m still trying to decide which one to buy my Lil Lady.

truffle – enchanted rock because she has that deep, transcendental gaze.
coco puffin – lady bird because she must look so beautiful when she is lazily sunbathing in the garden.
river – hippy hollow because everyone knows that happy energy = polka dots, and who ever met a hippy who wasn’t warm and cuddly, and didn’t prefer boxers to briefs?
maxine – texas two-step because she looks like a real performer, who could happily two-step her way out of any sticky situation!
peanut – broken spoke because she obviously has fun fashion sense, can play connect the dots when she gets bored, and if this collar doesn’t attract happy kids, nothing will!

maxine: texas two-step because she looks like a great little performer who could amusingly two-step her way out of any sticky situation!
peanut: broken spoke because she obviously has fun fashion sense, can connect the dots when she gets bored, and if this collar doesn’t attract happy kids to pat her, nothing will!

It’s so funny to read these and notice that so few are alike! When I made my choices, they seemed “obvious” and yet other folks see it so differently. That’s fun!
Peanut: Enchanted Rock – because she loves puzzles and this pattern is kind of puzzle-y; also, great colors for her
Maxine: Broken Spoke – this collar is lively and full of energy, just like Maxine
River: Texas Two-Step: the colors are great for him and the pattern is a bit more elegant, befitting a celebrity
Cocoa Puffin: Lady Bird, because it is a sweet, young pattern that looks like it’d appeal to a dreamy sunbather!
Truffle: Hippie Hollow: for the peace-lover (“Peace, man!”) and because that blue would look fantastic on her.
Fun contest!
