  • 1.  Adopt Me Vests or Bandanas

    Posted 12-28-2023 02:37 PM

    Hi everyone! I hope that everyone has had a great holiday and gearing up for an awesome new year!

    I have been trying to find something that our adoptable animals wear at offsite events. I have looked into bandanas, but I feel like they bunch up and can be hard to see. We used to have some vests that a volunteer made that had our logo on them and said Adopt Me, but they have seen better days and don't really stay on the animals. 

    What do you all use? Can you please share photos and where you order them?

    Thanks so much in advance!!

    Greetings!

    We use bandanas which is a good choice for us. It can get warm here so that seems like a good option. We get them from 4imprint. 

    We use slip leads like a harness, so my suggestion wouldn't work for us, but if you have a harness, maybe you could order patches for them. Another option is from Amazon where the harness already says "Adopt Me". https://www.amazon.com/Dexil-Limited-Non-Pull-Waterproof-Accidents/dp/6041026425/ref=asc_df_6041026425/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241892480369&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15296269437081057547&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008534&hvtargid=pla-402025642743&mcid=dcad6e57a2ed3b9694cbff0419217a30&gclid=CjwKCAiA-bmsBhAGEiwAoaQNmjtBruPqUKntD9M6Ve55eCYAiM6iMWKvsKJQdo75SwGmMCTfl5yuhxoCaHMQAvD_BwE&th=1

    Good luck in your search!

    Hi Stephanie,

    We use Adopt Me Leashes. We have bright yellow leashes that stand out. We also bought some neon green Sleeves that fit over leashes. Our vests didn't stay on our dogs either and we could see the dogs were not comfortable in them. We also bought some vests for our humans that say Ask Me About My Adoptable Dog and that is cool too. Have fun! :-)
