A pair of traveling Malteses raise awareness of shelter dog adoption

Comments(1) Lulu and Lolly are a pair of pampered Malteses who made the journey from an animal shelter to a life of first-class luxury. Transcending their humble beginnings as "trendy" purebreds whose first owners abandoned them after their novelty wore off, the rescued Malteses are now lending a paw to help their fellow rescue dogs in need.
 
With the goal of glamorizing dog rescue so more people will adopt a pre-owned purebred, the dogs' owner, political consultant Cynthia Miller of Austin, Texas, a Harvard grad, has created a web site (www.luluandlolly.com) that promotes a series of products, including a 2009 wall calendar showcasing the two well-traveled Malteses engaging in fun vacation activities: snowboarding, sunbathing, river rafting, and skydiving.
 
Already, the dogs and their calendar have gotten coverage in Ladies Home Journal.
 
The story of "Lulu and Lolly's Road Trip" goes that the fluffy, frequent-flying, traveling dogs "borrowed" their owner's credit cards to embark on these adventures, which culminate in a Manhattan shopping spree. The calendar goes on sale in stores and on Amazon.com later this year.
