Prizes

🎉 Grand Prize Winners (2) + Wildcard Winner (1)

The Grand Prize-winning dog and Grand Prize-winning cat with the highest number of votes will be announced as the official Rescue Brew 2025 Spokespets — and their winning photo and name will be featured on Rock Art Brewery’s limited edition Rescue Brew beer!

🌟 NEW THIS YEAR: A Wildcard Winner will be selected by a 5-member committee from the remaining eligible entrants. This special winner will be chosen based on the most fun, heartwarming adoption story, so be sure to share your pet’s journey from rescue to forever home!

All three winners will receive:

• Their pet featured on a Rescue Brew beer label

• A professional photoshoot

• A canvas print of their pet’s photo

• A magnet on NCAL’s new transport vehicle, promoting pet adoption across our region for one full year

• Recognition during the Open House Party at NCAL on Saturday, June 7th

Each case of Rescue Brew beer is valued at approximately $75.36, and it’s a highly anticipated small batch release every year.

The top three dogs and top three cats with the most votes will be honored as finalists.

Each of the six finalists will receive:

• A professional photo shoot of their pet

Canvas prints will be delivered approximately six weeks after the close of the contest.
