Thanks to a $40,000 donation from Tito's Handmade Vodka, Big Barn shelter – located at 225020 83rd St. in Salem, Wis. – created the “Lucky for Life” garden. The space will allow ALIVE Rescue dogs to bond with humans in a safe environment. The new facility and garden will be unveiled Saturday, Aug. 26 and Sunday, Aug. 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The grand opening weekend events are free and open to the public. To attend, RSVP here.
At the event, attendees will be able to tour the 4,800-square-foot facility, participate in giveaways and win swag. Dogs will also be dogs available for adoption.
Additionally, attendees at least 21 years old are can stop by the Tito’s dog tag engraving station for complimentary keepsakes and visit the dog kissing booth. They will also be able to sample complimentary cocktails from Tito’s.
Through this new facility, ALIVE Rescue estimates that it will be able to house up to 30 formerly abused dogs, as they learn to regain trust in humans through safe interactions.
