A Cause for Paws!
Pagosa Fun! and Rugby’s Rescue House, a local dog rescue, (www.rugbysrescue.com) hosted the Second Annual “Brews for Rescues" Beer Fest, SW Colorado’s first Dog-Centric beer fest that is just as much for your dog as it is for you!
On Saturday, April 29, 2023, the region’s favorite breweries came to Pagosa Springs, Colorado to showcase some of their best craft-beer and raise money for Rugby’s Rescue House, an amazing non-profit organization. Beer from Eddyline, Ska, Marble Brewing, Second Street Brewing, Breckenridge Brewing and many more were served!
Rugby's Rescue is a small non-profit rescue dedicated to "Rescuing, Saving, and Repeating" the process. Their main focus is rescuing dogs from surrounding Native American Reservations, where the growing dog population has been a big problem.
The event was hosted at Yamaguchi Park in Pagosa Springs, CO along the San Juan River with sweeping views of the San Juan Mountains. The day started at noon with a community dog walk. After the walk, the doors open and the beer tasting began. During the tasting there was a costume contest, owner look-a-like contest, best trick contest and lots more fun! Rugby’s Rescue House also had dogs and puppies available for adoption. This is really a day for the dogs! Last year we had over 7 dogs adopted out to their forever homes.
