Humane Society brings back the live Pup Crawl
STUART, Fla. — The seventh annual Pup Crawl is returning, live and in person, on Saturday, August 7. Presented by the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, last year’s event had to be modified due to the pandemic.
For $25 in advance, or $30 at the door, participants will gain VIP access to five venues in Stuart’s downtown district on Saturday, August 7. They will get to enjoy one free drink at each stop. Pre-register at www.hstc1.org/event/Pup-Crawl or register at the door from 5:30 – 7 p.m. at Mulligan’s Beach House Bar & Grill, 131 SW Flagler Ave. in Stuart, which is one of the participating businesses. Joining Mulligan’s is Spritz City Bistro, Vine & Barley Stuart, Sneaki Tiki and The Crafted Keg. There also will be a “Back To The Future” costume contest with prizes and giveaways all night long.
“It’s a fun opportunity for our supporters and friends to come together in a casual setting for a great cause,” said HSTC Community Outreach Director Courtney Zanetti. “All of the stops are within walking distance that allows participants to take their time and stroll through the area.”
The event is dog-friendly but all dogs must be kept on a non-retractable leash and the owner must make sure the dog is properly being cared for at all times. The humane society stresses the importance of pet owners being able to recognize the signs of heat exhaustion, aggressive behavior, overstimulation and other problematic areas as pet health is a top priority. Pets will not be permitted indoors at any of the establishments so participants with dogs are encouraged to have a buddy system.
The Pup Crawl is being sponsored by the Law Offices of John Mangan, P.A.; Stuart Fence Co.; Camp Bow Wow; and the Rick Carroll Insurance Agency. Proceeds benefit the shelter animals at the humane society’s Palm City shelter. For more information, email Courtney Zanetti at czanetti@hstc1.org or call 772-600-3211.
