Let’s raise the woof!

What if we told you that dining out on Wednesday, July 13 could do a world of good for pets in need?

That’s right, if you dine-in or take out (maybe some Bark-B-Q or woofles) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on that day you’ll be raising funds for animals in need and supporting the programs provided for them. Woofdown Wednesday is meant to be a celebration of kindness, filling your tummy with delicious food, and having a pawsitively good time.

It’ll be hard to have a ruff day when you see all the local bars and restaurants that are teaming up to raise money for the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and the homeless pets in your community.

All you’ve got to do is eat at any of the participating restaurants and businesses or order to-go, and they’ll donate anywhere from 10% to 25% of what you spend on your meal.
