We all know that helping a pup find a home is rewarding in and of itself, but hey, who doesn’t want free vegan soft serve amirite?!?! And that’s just what you’ll get if you make the forever home connection for Beans! 

If you haven’t heard, the wonderful people behind Mooshoes are opening a vegan deli and grocery in Manhattan. Orchard Grocer is set to open in the coming weeks and we couldn’t be more excited. Not only is the whole place vegan, it’ll be palm-oil free...and serve vegan soft serve ice cream!!! And very generously, the Mooshoes folks have offered a WEEK of FREE vegan soft serve to the person that hooks Beans up with a forever home. 

Details on Beans:

She is about 2-3 years, in perfect health thanks to her friends at Positive Tails, and about 45 pounds of pure sweetness.

She is friendly with ALL people (children included) but is selective with other animals which is why she would be best as your one and only.

Are you her match? Her ideal person shares her love of cuddling, leads an active lifestyle, and knows how to love as hard as she does.

If you are interested in adopting Beans, please reach out to [email protected]!

Guys I really feel like if we work together, we can find Beans the perfect forever home! AND YOU’LL GET FREE VEGAN SOFT SERVE!!!!

​I stopped by MooShoes at 78 Orchard St. on Saturday for their Spring Fling 15% off event.

I love this store, not only​ because they have "Vegan, Cruelty-free Shoes and Accessories," but also because the options they have are actually Fashionable.

I picked up these awesome sandals by the Brazilian designer Melissa! So chic and on trend, while 100% elithically made. 

...and this Abiko Clutch from Matt & Nat​:

At the last minute yesterday, I decided to go to the launch of the new non-profit charity organization Positive Tails. Boy am I glad I did--what a stupendous event! The party was sponsored by Vegansaurus-favorite Mooshoes, so YOU KNOW there was vegan food everywhere! There was also plenty of wine by Redhook Winery, and beer by Six Point (Six Point seems to sponsor a lot of animal-welfare events! NICE!) PLUS people could bring their pets! That's my kind of party!

And I must say, Positive Tails seems like such a great organization:

Veterinary Emergency and Referral Group of Brooklyn (VERG), Positive Tails will provide grants to assist animals in three distinct ways – to fight animal abuse, help displaced animals and the over-population of dogs and cats, and to provide support to individuals and families who cannot afford veterinary emergency or illness care for their companion animals.

Several speakers told the rescue stories of their own dogs and I'm not one to cry but...the feels. 

Let's talk more about the party!

Here's a snap I got of the amazing all-vegan dessert spread by none other Vegan Treats. Look at the cutie pie dog and kitty one! I went for the cannoli of course; can't eat those cute faces!

And vegan caterer Jay Astafa provided the savory! Including his famous battered and fried cauliflower, over a Brussles sprout-pomegranate slaw and topped with ranch and coconut bacon. OH EM GEE, amirite? The food was flying off the trays so I couldn't get my own pic, this is from Jay's Instagram, which you should def be following duh. 

And there were even vegan (the banana) and vegetarian (the apple ones have honey, no eggs or dairy) treats for the doggy guests from Biscuits By Lambchop! Not only are their treats meat-free, they are allergy-friendly as well! And the pups were gobbling them up. 

Like my new friend Tyson! He's a total beefcake. *heart eyes emoji*

And probably the most important news from the night, THERE WAS A CAT IN A TUXEDO! And now we are Instagram friends! Meet Minnie Red, a rescued persian kitty with swagger for days. I highly recommend you follow him and his Park Slope adventures on Instagram as well. If you don't, YOU WILL REGRET THAT DECISION FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE (that's my new catchphrase, you like? WELL DO YOU?!).

And as you can see, the event was VERY well-attended. I'd call it a smashing success!

If you want to learn more about Positive Tails and keep up with their latest news, follow them on FB! And you can donate to the org from their site, as well as apply for assistance, should you need to. 

Mooshoes, my absolute favorite source for cruelty-free shoes and accessories, is turning 13! To commemorate the event, both of their locations, original New York and brand new Los Angeles will be celebrating in-store with cake, champagne, and a 13% discount this Saturday.
