Your Pet Could Be On The ‘Rescue Brew’ Beer Label

If you like beer and love animals, then Rescue Brew is for you. Once again, the Humane Society of Charlotte and NoDa Brewing Company are teaming up for the cause of saving pets' lives and getting them placed in loving homes. Your dog or cat could be featured on this year's cans.

According to the campaign website, one dog and one cat will become the faces of NoDa Brewing Company's special edition limited release, Rescue Brew. The dog and cat who get the most votes will be crowned Top Dog and Queen City Kitty. Their winning photos will be turned into custom portraits by Charlotte artist, Helen Barnard. Those portraits will then become the official Rescue Brew labels for 2022.

To enter, submit a photo of your dog or cat and explain why they should be the face of Rescue Brew. Entries will be accepted through May 23th. Voting ends May 31st at 9:00 pm EST. It's $1 per vote, with the proceeds benefiting the Humane Society of Charlotte. Everything else you need to know is HERE. Good luck!
