Cindy Alvey

Cindy (Williams) Alvey has been involved in the local rescue community since adopting her dog, Cody from the DC Animal Shelter in 1996. Since that time, 4 cats: Silver, Puma, Sam and Frankie, have joined the family.

In 2004, she started an online pet supply company called Pet Pantry Express and in the summer of 2006, joined forces with Sue Bell, Executive Director of Homeward Trails Animal Rescue to open PetMAC – the Marketplace and Adoption Center.

PetMAC only sells all-natural foods with no chemical preservatives or animal by-products, as well as treats, toys, collars/leashes, beds -- even home-baked treats and doggy ice cream! PetMAC hosts educational seminars, fun social events and donates a portion of PetMAC’s profits to Homeward Trails and other local animal rescue groups.

Valentine’s Day…the day to show that special someone how much you love them, and who could be more special than that ever faithful, ever loving, fur-covered foot warmer of the 4-legged variety?  

Everyone has their own special way of sharing the love on Valentine’s Day.  For those who like to go “all out”, here are a few thoughts for you!  (Click on each photo for more information.)

 

Who can resist these yummy Valentine’s Day treats from The Haute Hound?  Irresistible, colorful, passionate! There are so many ways to describe them! Smooth and creamy peanut butter and carob..... so delicious!  Maybe if you’re nice, your dog will be willing to share! 

Show me the LOVE!  This adorable, cotton bandana has a collar sleeve so you don’t have to worry about tying knots on an excited dog!  Personalize it just for your special pooch!
  This heart-shaped braided Palmetto rug from Plain Brown Tabby is hand-made in South Carolina and is great for napping or scratching, or you can even put it under kitty’s food dishes for that extra-special dining experience!  

 

The Bark Bark Bakery takes the edible underwear to a new level – aren’t these the cutest dog treats you’ve ever seen?  Decorated with carob and yogurt, these are sure to be a huge hit with dogs and doggy-parents alike!
  Show everyone where your true love lies with this adorable little pewter magnet by Big Paw Designs.  Use it to hold a photo of your dog or cat on your fridge or file cabinet at work
  A catnip heart is the perfect way to shower your kitty with Valentine’s affection!  Made by Yeowww, furry on one side, with humorous sayings on the other side, kitty will definitely fall for this amorous offering!  Found at PetMAC in Arlington and DC and also on the web.
  Every special diva needs special evening wear, especially on the night of love and passion….  These heart-covered pajamas from The Haute Hound are just the cutest ever!!  
  Your dog or cat will love to cuddle up in this hand-crafted, faux-fur donut bed covered in hearts from the Haute Hound!  It looks so cozy, it makes me want to get one for myself!
  BFF! This charm is the perfect token to celebrate the bond between you and your pooch. Break off one piece for Barkley or Buttercup and keep the other part close to your heart

  

Send them a Crunchkin card!  Dog greetings are thin pieces of edible rawhide with vegetable dye, and kitty greetings contain a catnip toy.  Imagine your pet’s surprise when they get a special letter in the mail from you!!  Available at PetMAC in Arlington or on-line.
  Pucker up and give your slobbery dog a Big Kiss! These simply sweet pucker lips are made with white sheepskin, red cuddle fabric and a robust plastic squeaker.  These lips will make the perfect Valentine gift...and this kiss won't even leave lipstick on your puppy's coat!
 
Lastly, everyone needs a little cuddle time, especially your furry loved one!  Grab a great movie and snuggle on the couch – after all, that’s really all they want anyway!  Some suggestions:  Best in Show, Lady and the Tramp, Milo & Otis, Must Love Dogs, Feast of Love, The Truth about Dogs and Cats, You've Got Mail, An American Tail (my kitty’s favorite!)
