Pints for the pups: This Charlotte beer crawl will also have rescue pets for adoption

Charlotte’s pub crawls are fun, sure, but have you ever been to a pup crawl?

Introducing The LoSo Pup Crawl, in which the Charlotte Beer Collective has coordinated on a beer crawl to benefit Friends of CMAS / CMPD Animal Care & Control. There will be dogs for adoption (gallery ↙️ shows some of the dogs that will be there, if they aren’t adopted first!). There will be human beers and dog beers (aka bone broth), human look-a-like contests and more.

This event will be a fun, breezy way to help dogs in need, and it couldn’t come at a more perfect time: Space is running out at the animal shelter, The Charlotte Observer reported in June.
