Announcing the Pet Haven Rescue Brew Spokesmodel Contest Sponsored by SURLY BREWING!

We're on the prowl for a very special cat and dog to be the face of Minnesota's pet community. Could it be yours? Pet Haven of Minnesota has teamed up with Surly Brewing to celebrate dogs and cats and the people who love them with the Pet Haven and Surly Brewing Rescue Brew Spokesdog and Spokescat contest!

All are welcome to join! Your dog or cat does NOT need to be a rescued pet or a Pet Haven pet.

The dog or cat who capture the most votes will have their names and images featured on Surly's limited edition Rescue Brew Pilsner, released September 7th. Our Spokesmodel winners will have a chance to accept their award, take a bow and mingle with their adoring fans at a Rescue Brew release party at Surly Brewing on Saturday, Saturday September 7th! 

If your pet is an introvert we are happy to welcome their representative!

The free outdoor celebration will feature Surly Rescue Brew Pilsner ($1 a pour will go to Pet Haven) live music on the Surly patio, a dog adoption event, vendors, and great food from Surly Kitchen for purr-chase. A portion of the proceeds of Rescue Brew and food sales will support Pet Haven's rescued pets!

Be sure to mark your calendars and join us for this summer celebration of our contest winners and Minnesota's amazing animal rescue community.

The contest kicks off on July 27, 2024, and ends on August 18, 2024. Participation is easy — just upload your favorite photo and tell us why your dog or cat is the purr-fect Spokesdog or Spokescat to represent Pet Haven and Minnesota's rescued pets! Then SHARE SHARE SHARE with your community engaging and inspiring them to vote!
