Six rescue organizations with adoptable animals, free fowling, and exclusive beer launch set for Saturday, May 30, to raise awareness of pet adoption and the need for fosters.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Fōwling Warehouse is partnering with Minneapolis Animal Care & Control (MACC) and 3 Floyds/WarPigs Brewing to host a large-scale rescue pet adoption and foster education event on Saturday, May 30, from 12 NOON to 2:00 p.m.. The event will take place at Fowling Warehouse (401 Royalston Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405), located near the Minneapolis Farmers Market and Target Field with plenty of free parking available while it lasts.

The event will be a lively fundraiser featuring the release of 3 Floyds' special Trolls Trolls Trolls brew. Six rescue organizations will be on-site, bringing adoptable dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens to meet potential "furever" families. Participating rescues include Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (MACC), Ruff Start Rescue, PJ’s Rescue, Aussie Rescue of Minnesota, Last Hope Rescue, and Bitty Kitty Brigade (the cat-focused organization). Non-profit partner, MACC Pack, will also be onsite for fundraising and education.

"We’re excited to open up the Warehouse for this important cause and provide a unique backdrop for MACC and its partners," said Andrew Cunningham, GM & Owner of Fōwling Warehouse. "Combining the fun of Fowling with the chance to find a loving home for a pet is a perfect match. The enthusiasm from 3 Floyds and the rescue community has been incredible".

Attendees can meet adoptable animals and participate in multiple fundraising activities to support the rescues:

A donation of $1 per 3 Floyds / WarPigs drink sold will be split among the rescues on site.
A 50/50 style "Quick Fowl for 10" game is offered for a $5 entry fee with proceeds going to the rescues.
Raffle tickets will be given to all attendees (or buy additional tickets) with prizes like brewery swag, fowling discounts, and lane rentals.
Additional tickets will be given out for every 3 Floyd's or War Pigs drink purchased as well as a pet donation item, such as food, leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, dishes, or litter which will be distributed to pet families in need.

Fowling, a mash-up of football and bowling, offers a spacious, warehouse-style setting perfect for the event.
