The Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) and Good Neighbour Brewing are giving you the opportunity to have your furry loved one printed on a limited edition beer can label.
The WHS has teamed up with Good Neighbour Brewing for a new contest.
Pets on Pints is a fundraiser for the WHS where four Manitoban pets can have their photo featured on a Good Neighbour Brewing beer can label.
Good Neighbour Brewing is owned by Amber Sarraillon of Stonewall with partner Morgan Wielgosz.
Good Neighbour is the first female and 2SLGBTQ+ owned and operated brewery in Manitoba.
It is Sarraillon’s and Wielgosz’s goal to create a brewery that has a fun and inclusive community.
Pets on Pints is an online photo contest for Manitoba pets.
“Pets on Pints is very similar to our annual calendar contest which has been very successful,” said WHS’ Communications and Marketing Director Carly Peters.
“Manitobans love a good local beer and their pets so this is a great way to combine these two passions.”
Pets on Pints is off to a massive start. With over 1,300 photo submissions in one week, Peters is thrilled about the contest’s success.
“I am excited to see how far it will go,” Peters added.
The WHS is hosting the competition as a way to give back to donators and thank them for their support.
Choosing to partner with Good Neighbour Brewing was a breeze.
“Good Neighbour values community and brings people together. Internally here, we all love Good Neighbour and it was an easy choice,” Peters explained.
Everyone with a pet that can be adopted with the WHS is encouraged to enter.
Pet owners from dogs and cats to birds and rats are hoping to see their furry friends on a can of beer.
Pet owners are encouraged to submit one photo of each pet.
Pets on Pints will select two pets with the most votes and two pets by random draw as their winners.
“We are looking for super cute pictures of pets to be submitted on our website,” explained Peters.
Upon submission, a unique URL will be generated to share with friends and family members to vote for your pet.
Each vote costs $1 and all funds received from the votes will directly support the WHS.
Another two winners will be selected by random draw.
“For every 100 votes or $100 raised, the pet will be entered into a draw to be featured on the beer label.”
One dog and one other animal will randomly be selected as a winner along with the two pets with the most votes.
Winners will receive four cans of beer with their furry friends featured on them.
Good Neighbour Brewing will have a limited number of the winning pet’s cans for sale to the general public with a portion of sales being donated back to WHS.
The last day to enter and vote for your pets with the Pets on Pints contest is June 21.
Winners will be announced the following week.
Good Neighbour Brewing will release the limited edition beers on Wednesday, July 17 with a Pet Parade Launch Party.
