Little Pub and Adopt-A-Dog, Inc. are partnering up for a kick-off event before the 28th annual Puttin’ on the Dog festival.
On Tuesday, September 15, Little Pub will donate 10 percent of the day’s proceeds to the non-profit whose mission is to save, socialize and secure loving homes for unwanted or abandoned dogs and cats.
“We are so grateful to Doug and Daneen Grabe for their generosity. We’re so excited to start the festival a bit early this year,” said Kristen Rice, executive director of Adopt-A-Dog.
The Grabes are grateful to Greenwich for their success in what is their third Little Pub. The original Little Pub opened in Ridgefield in 2009 and a second location in Wilton opened in 2013.
“The people in Greenwich have been so great, and we’ve developed a lot of regulars,” Doug said. “We want to give back to the community.”
Highlights of the kick-off on Tuesday include a chance to meet the Adopt-A-Dog team and adoptable dogs on the patio at 5:00pm. Also, award-winning singer/songwriter Griffin Anthony, will lend his talents to the fundraiser beginning at 8:00pm.
The nationally renowned artist will be performing original acoustic songs from his new album, The Making of a Man, including his track written specially for the SPCA, Nobody Loves Like You.
The 28th annual Puttin’ on the Dog event takes place on Sept. 20 from 10:00am until 4:30pm in Roger Sherman Baldwin Park. Tickets are available for purchase in advance on the Adopt-A-Dog website.
