Passionate Paws Animal Hospital, Jimmy Grappone, a Realtor with Skyecroft Realty Group, LLC, and Mary O’Neill’s Irish Pub are proud sponsors and hosts of the 3rd annual Pups ’N Pints event being held in downtown Waxhaw right next to Mary O’Neill’s. The event is on May 4, 2019 from noon-5pm. Pups ’N Pints benefits South Charlotte Dog Rescue, a local 501(c)(3) volunteer dog rescue organization that helps find homes for wonderful dogs in need of adoption. This year, the event will have live music courtesy of Funkyard Dog as well as Big Pop Productions keeping the event rocking and rolling with their DJ skills. There will be raffle prizes, LOTS of beer, food, vendors, and puppies. We will also have a Kid Zone with face painting, a bounce house, and more family friendly activities. In our crowd favorite Puppy Zone, we will have a Puppy Kissing Booth where you can get your puppy fix and help raise money for a great cause. There will be plenty of wonderful dogs ready to be adopted as well. Pups ’N Pints has (3) main purposes that make it a fun and feel-good event for the whole family: 1. Unite: Bring animal loving communities and their pets together. 2. Educate: Benefits of adoption, the adoption process, and animal welfare. 3. Celebrate: Food, Entertainment, Kids Zone, Puppy Zone, Vendors, Music, and LOTS OF BEER! Mary O’Neill’s Irish Pub is hosting the event for the 2nd year in a row and is located at 116 N. Main Street in downtown Waxhaw. Mary O’Neill’s is one of Waxhaw’s most popular spots and will be providing food and drinks (including alcoholic beverages) to guests through their restaurant and outside bar. Non-competing food trucks will be on site as well. Pups 'N Pints experienced fantastic year over year growth from 2017 to 2018, nearly doubling in event attendance in it’s sophomore year. Pet adoptions directly attributed to Pups 'N Pints increased from a dozen in 2017 to more than 20 in 2018. An even larger crowd is expected this year and we hope to find forever homes for more than 30 dogs. When reflecting on the event this year, Dr. Susan Bonilla of Passionate Paws Animal Hospital said, ”As this festival grows, we are looking to promote the importance of pet adoption, provide education about the pet adoption process, and not only showcase the immediate benefits that adoption brings to the adopting family but also the long-term benefits adoption has on reducing the ever-growing population of shelter pets." |
