SARATOGA SPRINGS – A dose of freezing rain on Wednesday evening, February 6, did not deter a gathering of crawlers to venture out in support of H.O.P.E (Hope For Orphan Pets Exist) that was sponsored by DZ Restaurants. The ‘crawlers’ began their evening at Forno Bistro, then skipped through puddles to Boca Bistro and Chianti Ristorante. At each stop, for each purchase of pints of DZ Restaurant’s special craft beer (Helping HanDZ Amber Ale – brewed in partnership with Chatham Brewery,) $1 was donated to H.O.P.E.
Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist (H.O.P.E.) is a not for profit 501(c)(3) organization of volunteers from Saratoga and surrounding counties of New York State. They are dedicated to assisting previously abandoned, orphaned and neglected animals. Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist does not have a shelter or facility. They give these homeless animals a second chance for a wonderful life; to be part of a family, to be a therapy pet, or just to be someone’s best friend. Their ultimate goal is to find suitable adopters who will provide them with a lifelong commitment of love and care. For more information, visit their WEBSITE.
The good news is that you can still participate. The Helping HanDZ pint promotion will continue throughout the month of February, with a dollar donated to H.O.P.E. for each pint purchased at any of the three DZ Restaurants. Cheers! And enjoy the gallery.
