Pet Haven of Minnesota has teamed up with SURLY BREWERY to celebrate dogs and cats and the people who love them with the Rescue Brew Spokesdog and Spokescat contest to help save more lives!

 

We hope to raise $50,000 and have a lot of fun doing it! Funds raised will go to our emergency medical care fund The Phoenix Fund.

Help us say YES to more pets in need of help by joining the contest and getting friends to vote!

The dog and cat who capture the most votes will have their names and images featured on Surly's limited edition Rescue Brew Beer, released August 26th on National Rescue Dog Day at Surly Brewery! Our Spokesmodel winners will have a chance to take a bow and mingle with their adoring fans at a Rescue Brew release party at Surly on Saturday, August 26th. If your pet is an introvert we are happy to welcome their representative!

 

The free outdoor celebration will feature a fun celebration with pet give-a-ways and grrrreat beer on the Surly patio. 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 fund-raiser kicks off at the end of July. Stay tuned for notification of the start date!  Sign up for our newsletter and be sure to get notified! Participation is easy — you will 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!

 

Your $10 entry fee also buys you 5 votes for your pet. It's $1 a vote! Get your friends and family to vote, vote, vote, and change pets' lives while your pet gets a chance to be memorialized!

How it Works
You will take a PAWSOME picture of your pet and enter your pet’s photo in the Rescue Brew Contest. You also get to tell the world why they would rock as a spokesmodel!

It’s easy. You will upload a photo and tell us why in 75 words or less (no pressure) your pet is the absolute best choice to be one of this year’s Rescue Brew spokesmodels. Remember, your $15 entry fee also buys your pet’s first 5 votes.

 

Once we open voting and your pet’s entry is submitted, share the contest link with friends and family and encourage them to vote! Every $1 vote helps not only your pet win but also makes a difference in the lives of homeless dogs and cats and supports the Pet Haven Mission, so we’re encouraging everyone to vote early and vote often.

 

Pet Haven rescued, rehabilitated, and re-homed 897 pets last year! Over half of these pets needed non-standard or emergency medical care or behavioral support. Our medical bills in 2023 were over $325,000.

 

We want to help more pets in need this year and you can help by supporting our contest and getting your friends and community involved!

 

We will open the contest to creating your pet's profile on July 11. Voting will begin on July 27th!
