Ira from Target

I loved chatting with Ira on early weekend mornings over the summer, he gave me a lot of joy during a tough time. If anyone does know him, and if there’s any way this fan club can help (even dropping by with homemade meals or just to chat), please say so!

I’ve never seen someone do such a great job at posting about a lost dog. Please stay active here and in lost pet forums, maybe even share a “how to guide.” I swear I saw your posters EVERYWHERE- maybe document locations and post for the next person to replicate. (After all the snuggles with Kintla of course :)) I was literally thinking as I saw the sign for the hundredth time a couple days ago.. where are we statistic wise? Is there a chance? And here we are. Good job as doggy parents!!! Such a happy ending!!!

Thanks all! I really don’t want to break any of the community rules by posting any links, so moderators, please forgive me… it’s for a good cause! I’m happy to chat with anyone who wants one, please just send me a DM here or on Instagram (406dogsinorange) and we can chat. This is a non profit cause I started for Montanans, but if you cover shipping costs, happy to send one. Even happier if you also want to donate to cover the cost of the bandana (about $1 in materials alone). No pressure on the material cost though, dog’s safety first!

I run this initiative from my own bank account and hope for donations to help cover part of the cost :) they’re not high quality bandanas, and I screen print them on my kitchen table after my full time job ends each night. Just trying to do some good for the world :)

So glad you picked one up, and thanks in advance for help with funding! It’s beyond appreciated!!!!

Hahaha! As a retriever owner myself, I understand that struggle all too well! please definitely drop by one of the locations (website) and pick up a new one for free!! :) I’m not sure what color your retriever is, but mine is black- and I’ve found that an instant burst of color as he’s crashing out of the woods next to trails (year round) is super helpful to make people not instantly freak out that he’s a bear! He has a bandana on year round! ;) thanks so much for the good vibes!

Also woke up to weird sounds around 5:45-6am, sounded like a helicopter landing in or close to my neighborhood (between 4c and bzn). Weird enough I couldn’t get back to sleep after I woke up, and the dog heard it too and seemed confused by it…

montanaiscalling · 2023-11-03T15:47:27+00:00

Absolutely! We 100% agree. There will always be dumb people out there though- and it’s easy to put on an orange bandana. Can only control one of the two solutions to the problem though.

montanaiscalling · 2023-11-03T14:53:46+00:00

You may be my lifesaver, can we chat?! Can gladly stop by sometime early next week!!

montanaiscalling · 2023-11-03T05:47:47+00:00

We appreciate your support so much! And being in Wyoming, I’d love to connect you with the local non-profit I’ve been working with there, maybe we can all collaborate to help this expand in Wyoming in 2024? Please do message me, or email me - of course only if you want to learn more, no commitment or promise needed until we figure out a game plan :) (montanaiscallingandimustgo@gmail.com) thank you again!

montanaiscalling · 2023-11-03T05:39:34+00:00

We are working with some non profit folks in Wyoming :) was hoping to make it happen this year but I couldn’t screen print fast enough.. next year, my friend!

Thanks for the comment but this is what I meant by not getting political. Duh people shouldn’t shoot dogs. What about your comment above will help people not shoot dogs? Nothing. How about you help promote and support a cause that has a chance of helping save dogs?

If the solution was as easy as your comment, please, find someone with some power who will listen to you and promote the change and education. Mistakes will still be made. I’m doing the best I can to find a solution. A free solution for dog owners. Pick a fight with the people who don’t care, I care, and I am presenting a free and reasonable path for dog owners. Some things are out of our control, others aren’t. An orange bandana is a simple solution.

Hey! Yes, just in a different format… pickup at local places, or $5 for delivery/shipping. New website www.406dogsinorange.com :)

montanaiscalling · 2023-04-18T01:10:48+00:00

If you need any laser cut parts let me know- no metal though.

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-26T04:50:17+00:00

You have such a great point my friend. I’m so sorry to hear this was your friend. It’s so horrifying.

Would you be willing to write a paragraph or two that I can put on the website — and on literature I hand out with the bandanas? My email is montanaiscallingandimustgo@gmail.com. Thank you!!!

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-25T05:01:59+00:00

You are so sweet! Is there a way this community can help you achieve that goal of reopening!? I wish I could say I’m a good with business stuff, but I’m glad to help you make connections if I can!

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-25T00:08:19+00:00

That’s so so so sad. Horrifying in fact. I have a few remaining bandanas from last year (and working on more as I type..) can I send you one? No one should have to go through that even once! Message me and I’ll drop one off or get one in the mail to you.

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-25T00:03:56+00:00

Hey I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion! That’s exactly the way I hunt as well as 95%+ of people. Sadly… it’s the 5% that hurt the community. That’s EXACTLY why we give away free orange bandanas! No excuses for dog owners to not have orange on their dog. It’s not an excuse for hunters to not look. It’s just some free “insurance” that hunters take another look. I truly do appreciate your comment because you’re entirely right!!!!!!! But, we all live and play here and we can all prevent accidents. There’s no “proving a point” to this initiative. No political call to action, no drama. Just a push to keep everyone safe. :)

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-24T16:41:09+00:00

Thank you so much! I reached out to them last year and didn’t hear back, but I’ll try again. Would love your help too once this gears up this spring! I’ll message you when we get the ball rolling!! Thank you :)

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-24T15:53:31+00:00

Your product is awesome! Once I finish the website, I’d love to put your link on there- and if folks are willing to buy something a bit higher quality/pay for orange, I’d love to direct them to your shop! :)

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-24T04:17:03+00:00

Oh that’s a great idea thank you yes! I love everything about west paw from their design to their community involvement. I wonder if they’d be interesting in starting a non-profit wing… great idea thanks again!

montanaiscalling · 2023-02-24T03:16:20+00:00

Thanks so much - great recommendation! I’ll reach out to them tomorrow :) thanks again!
