- Blue Ridge Humane Society (BRHS) invites the community
to participate in their 4th Annual Historic 7th Avenue District Pup Crawl, presented by Hunter Subaru, on
Saturday, October 19th, from 12-5 pm. Participants will purchase “Pawsports” and enjoy a pet giveaway
or treat and a unique pet-themed activity at participating dog-friendly food and beverage businesses,
earning stamps at each stop for a chance to win a grand prize.
The Brandy Bar + Cocktails, Celtic Creamery, Guidon Brewing Co., M&T Distilling, Southern Appalachian
Brewery and White Duck Taco Shop are the host businesses participating in Pup Crawl. Each business is
also generously donating 10% of sales on October 19th
, and the community is encouraged to support
these businesses by purchasing food, drinks and/or gift cards regardless of whether they have a
Pawsport.
“Pup Crawl is a fun and interactive event for dog owners, and we get to witness firsthand the bond
between dogs and their owners at each stop,” said BRHS Executive Director Angela Prodrick. “Not only
can community members come out to help raise funds for our mission to save lives, it is an opportunity
to support these 7th Avenue businesses who are hosting events, donating treats and sharing a portion of
proceeds during these difficult months of construction.”
Pawsports are $20 for one dog and $40 for 2 or more dogs from the same household, if purchased by
October 16th. After that date, Pawsports can only be purchased on the day of the event and pricing
increases to $30 for one dog and $50 for 2 or more dogs from the same household. Human-only
Pawsports can be purchased for the same price that will allow participants to collect all six stamps and
be entered into the grand prize drawing. Dogs must be leashed at all times and current on vaccinations.
Event will be held rain or shine.
Pawsports are available on the BRHS website, https://www.blueridgehumane.org/get-
involved/events/pupcrawl or by calling (828) 692-2639 ext. 304.
