Black Dog Bottle Shop Anniversary Party

12:00 pm-7:00 pm
09/25/2021
Black Dog Bottle Shop
140 W. Holly Springs Rd., Holly Springs, NC 27540

Black Dog Bottle Shop, one of our partners in rescue, is turning three years old this month! (You know, officially 21 in dogs years). 2020 was a no-go for an anniversary party, so you are invited to come to hang out with them (and us) this year, Saturday, September 25, from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. EST to celebrate and say “thank you”! Pups are welcome and encouraged!

All of your favorites will be behind the bar; breweries will be on-site with their goods; Catherine & Steve, the Black Dog Bottle Shop owners, will be in the dunk tank! All proceeds from the dunk tank will benefit the animals of Second Chance Pet Adoptions. And you’ll see some (adoptable) furry friends from noon to 6:00! (That’s a long day for any given doggo so they’ll be coming in shifts throughout the event.)

Capone’s Chicago Eats Food Truck will be present, and there will be plenty more shenanigans planned as the date gets closer. Mark your calendars, friends…this is going to be FUN!

Participating breweries:

  • 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
    • Southern Pines Brewing Company
    • New Anthem Beer Project
  • 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
