You can officially enter your cat or dog into our Rescue Brew Contest NOW!
The cat and dog that get the most votes will be the official faces of Surly Brewing Company Limited Edition ‘52 Rescue Brew!
Voting ends on August 19th at 7 PM.
New this year - we will have a separate crowler for each winner so they don’t have to share the spotlight!
Participation is easy — 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!
The more votes, the better your chance of winning!
Your $15 entry fee also buys you 15 votes for your pet. To view our competitors and cast your votes, just click on ‘view entries'. Each vote is $1.
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 that captures the most votes will have their names and images featured on Surly's limited edition Rescue Brew Pilsner, released September 6th. 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, September 6th!
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 - Eat, Drink, Save Lives!***
Be sure to mark your calendars and join us for this summer celebration of our contest winners and Minnesota's amazing animal rescue community. All funding raised with this contest will go to support our emergency medical fund - The Phoenix Fund!
THANK YOU SURLY FOR SAVING LIVES WITH US!!!
Founded in 1952, Pet Haven is the first foster-based rescue in Minnesota. We rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home dogs and cats, working closely with adopters to find the right match to create forever families for every Pet Haven pet. We provide needed medical treatment, high-quality food, enrichment, training, and behavioral support to every animal in our care. We also offer pre-adoption and post-adoption support and every Pet Haven alumni has a safe place to land back at Pet Haven if ever in need.
All our animals are in loving foster homes, not in a shelter. Our foster program benefits both the animals in our care and their future families. Our foster families prepare animals for adoption by giving them a chance to live in a home where they can fully express their personality, work to overcome fears, recover from trauma, and receive needed training, giving them a better chance at a forever home.
We can’t adopt our way out of pet overpopulation. We address homelessness at the root through our spay/neuter initiatives. We were the first organization in Minnesota to require spay/neuter prior to adoption and have continued to support efforts to reduce overpopulation through programs and grants. More than 8,000 animals have been altered through our grant program.
Volunteers are key to helping Pet Haven achieve its mission by helping to lead and support all core functions of the organization. We have over 500 volunteers, which helps keep our administrative costs down, allowing your donations to go directly to the animals who need help. Come join our amazing team of volunteers!
