Life doesn’t have to be so “ruff” for homeless pets this summer.
The Humane Society of Southern Arizona is teaming up with multiple restaurants for Woof Down Wednesday dinners from 5 – 8 p.m., July 11 – August 15.
During the six weeks of fun, you’ll have an opportunity to help pets without a home and explore tasty food from six different local restaurants.
All you’ve got to do is eat.
Once you’re finished cleaning your plate, take your receipt to the designated Humane Society of Southern Arizona table inside the restaurant, and 20 percent of your bill will go towards helping a pet in need.

Matt Sterner
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.
