About Us

What is MuttButts?

MuttButts came into creation to celebrate the animals in our lives and to share the love they bring. It is our goal to promote merchandise that allows people to enjoy the funny side of animal life while helping support the animals that call Linn County Animal Rescue (LCAR) home. After creating handmade shirts for events such as parades and open houses- including capes and costumes for the horses to wear- we decided to take it to the next level and started MuttButts so that others could enjoy these products with their own furry friends while knowing their purchases were helping to support the sanctuary. Any custom item showing off your mutt’s butts (or any 4-legged butt, we don't discriminate!) will generate a donation of 20% going directly to support the animals at LCAR. There is no extra cost for custom items, simply email us at muttbuttsshop@gmail.com with your image and "custom order" in the subject line and we will create your shirt just for you!  We love being people helping animals helping people!

 

What if my image won't work on a shirt?                                              

Sometimes due to image size or photo resolution, we are unable to generate a clear print big enough for a shirt. Don't worry- if this is the case, we will try your image on smaller items like coffee cups or tote bags so you won't miss out.We will always wait for your approval on item previews before we send anything to production.


Why do the products with animal butts generate a higher donation?

At MuttButts, we understand the kind of joy wiggle butts bring. We all love a little junk in the trunk, so sharing the jiggles and the wiggles seemed like an obvious choice to get people laughing while promoting awareness for our cause.  

  ** We cannot stress enough that this offer is ONLY good for our four-legged friends.**


How do I know how much money is being raised for animal care?

We are working on a tracking program for frequent updates. In the meantime, be sure to check out our social media pages for monthly donated totals to be posted each month.

 

Why don't pre-designed items or items without butts generate a donation? 

Unfortunately, we still have to pay for responsible things including supplies, domain and website support, processing fees, and staff. These items help cover those costs.


Why are you trying to raise money for LCAR?

As a non-profit, LCAR is 100% volunteer run. We do not receive any funding outside of donations from our      supporters. Animals, especially those in need of intense medical care, are expensive. LCAR currently houses two barns full of horses, cows, and sheep in addition to a stand-alone building for our dogs, who are primarily seniors, or under hospice. It has been an ongoing struggle to make sure we are able to provide proper care and housing for everyone we help rescue. Additionally, we recently had a well wall collapse. Our immediate focus is on obtaining long-term water storage solutions as we work to raise the money for something more permanent. We are also working towards getting re-verified by GFAS so we can get grants on the animal side. The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries has 95% of the animal foundations as part of their program. This process will involve some costly projects including barn repairs and fencing. Please share our website and social media pages to help us raise awareness for our sanctuary and all of our beloved creatures. You may also donate to LCAR directly through the PayPal Giving Fund here: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2340366
