PINTS, PETS, AND PURE PAW-TENTIAL!
CONTEST RUNS AUGUST 11 - 25, 2025
Ever dreamed of your four-legged (or feathered/finned) best friend becoming the star of their very own Root Beer bottle? Now's your chance for your adorable pet to become featured on an exclusive label—all while helping animals and communities in need across the U.S. and worldwide.
Animals & Ales is more than a pet photo contest — it's a nationwide fundraiser for Veterinarians Without Borders North America (VWB), powered by animal lovers who believe that every pet deserves care, no matter where they live. Upload a photo of your pet, then rally your friends and family, and for every $1 they donate, your pet gets one vote! So, $1 donated = 1 vote. The more your pet raises, the more votes they earn — and the more animals you help. Plus, the top three fundraisers will each get their own custom label, featured on a non-alcoholic Root Beer by Sprecher Brewery Company!
All funds support Veterinarians Without Borders USA, a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) organization improving the health of animals, people, and the environment in underserved communities across North America and around the world. Each entry helps fund animal health, emergency response, and One Health programs in the USA and beyond.
