What says "Happy Mother's Day" better than a new puppy? This Mother's Day, Omni Brewing is teaming up with No Dog Left Behind to give a number of dogs new homes. Come to the taproom this Mother's Day, Sunday, May 14th, from 12:00pm - 3:00pm to find your new fur baby and celebrate with some great beer. If you think this event isn't for you because you already have a dog then think again. Bring your dog with you and post up on the patio. All dogs are welcomed on the patio -- even the ones with homes already. It's going to be a day full of crafts and cuteness. Definitely the best way to spend Mother's Day.

The director of No Dog Left Behind would like the ability to help more dogs like Jack. Jack was severely emaciated & had his paw caught in a trap.

Recovery from this type of neglect is not fast or cheep. Please donate and help NDLB save more dogs like Jack.
