The Everett Animal Shelter has joined forces with Scuttlebutt Brewing for an engaging fundraiser called “Paws & Pints.” This unique event encourages dog owners to submit photos of their pets and rally for votes.

Each dollar donated through voting directly supports the shelter animals and advances the contestant's position on the leaderboard. The grand prize winner will have a Scuttlebutt beer named in their dog's honor, to be revealed at a brewery taproom party.

This creative initiative underscores the community's dedication to aiding the animal shelter and its residents. The event highlights a novel approach to fundraising that combines community engagement with a beloved local brewery.
