Bring Your Costumed Dog To Pedal Haus Brewery For Annual Contest

TEMPE, AZ — Dog owners are invited to celebrate "Howl-O-Ween" by dressing up their pups and bringing them to Pedal Haus Brewery for its annual dog costume contest this Sunday.

On Oct. 31, anyone who brings their costumed dog to the Pedal Haus in either Tempe or Chandler will receive their first Day Drinker Light Lager for $1, and the winning dog's owner will earn a $100 Pedal Haus gift card.

The contest will support pet-friendly causes, too — half of the proceeds from the Day Drinker Light Lagers and watermelon margaritas sold that night in Tempe will go to Valley Dogs Rescue, and in Chandler half of the proceeds will benefit the One Love Pit Bull Foundation.

Valley Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization that rescues dogs that have been abandoned, neglected or placed in harm's way, according to its website.

It provides temporary housing for adoptable dogs, and encourages "the responsible care of pets" — including spraying, neutering, micro-chipping and vaccinating dogs.

The One Love Pit Bull Foundation is a nonprofit that "advocates for pit bull type dogs with a focus on shelter programs, pet retention, community outreach and sterilization," according to its website.

It provides shelter enrichment programs, training, and spraying and neutering, the website said, among other services.
