And what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than enjoying a beer with your bestie!

On Saturday, May 14 head on down to Boom Island Brewing Company with your four-legged friend to enjoy Pints & Pups.

For the second year in a row, Boom Island is inviting beer and dog lovers to come together, share a pint, socialize their pups and learn more about local dog rescues.

For aspiring dog owners, Grey Face Rescue & Retirement, Minnesota Sheltie Rescue, Pet Project Rescue, Save-A-Bull Rescue, Secondhand Hounds, Twin Cities Pet Rescue and Upper Midwest Great Dance Rescue will all be on hand to answer any questions about dog adoption. There will even be some adoptable pups on site!

Local vendors will also be on hand selling goodies for patrons and pups. Secondhand Hounds will have some merchandise for sale, all proceeds of which will go directly back to the rescue organization. And, Nate Dogs hotdog stand will also be selling food throughout the day.

Water will be available for dogs and their humans, too.

Current dog owners are invited to bring their well-behaved, leashed dogs to the event.

A portion of Boom Island's proceeds from the day will be donated to the rescues.
