It’s that time of year again when the tails are wagging, the suds are flowing, and the lovely smell of a wet dog flows throughout the Barrio Brewing parking lot. We’re talking about Barks & Brews — the collaborative dog-washing event with Pima Animal Care Center (PACC).
From 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 15, bring along your furry friend for a top-notch wash and then unwind on the patio. Sip on some of Barrio’s finest beverages and enjoy their delicious food offerings, all while your dog gets pampered.
Dog-Washing Prices
- $20 for small dogs
- $30 for larger dogs
All proceeds of this event go directly to Friends of PACC, which supports the efforts of the animal shelter to save the lives of animals in need. Chi Omega sorority will also be volunteering with Friends of PACC to help with the dog washing.
PACC will also be hosting a raffle loaded with “tempting prizes.” You’ll just have to stop by to see what they can be.
Barrio Brewing Company is located at 800 E. 16th St. For more information, visit barriobrewing.com. To find out more about volunteer opportunities with Friends of PACC, visit friendsofpacc.org.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
