Dogs for Dogs Adoption Event
Sunday, February 22
We love dogs and we love beer so when you present an opportunity to have both in one place, you can always count us in. This Sunday Brat Haus in Scottsdale will host a Dogs for Dogs Adoption Event in collaboration with the Foothills Animal Rescue. There will be dogs up for adoption at the bar and restaurant, as well as happy hour food and beer deals, and $1 of every beer sold will benefit the rescue. Oh, and don’t worry if you’ve already got a pooch — just bring your own pup and you’ll get free doggy “brats” for a year. The event goes from noon to 5 p.m. For more information check the Brat Haus Facebook page.
