Lakefront Brewery Welcomes Puppies To Their Patio For a JR's Pups-N-Stuff Supply Drive

Lakefront is partnering with local volunteer/foster-based Wauwatosa dog rescue to gather much needed supplies for their mission. 

"When we launched our Ripple Effect donation program last year, we asked our staff what organizations they would like to partner with in the community, which put JR's Pups-N-Stuff on the top of our list from the beginning” says Lakefront’s Donation Coordinator Liz Mauritz. Lakefront is thrilled to be hosting a puppy supply drive on Lakefront’s patio this Sunday, September 8th from 11am to 4pm. “There will definitely be adoptable dogs and maybe even some kittens,” added Mauritz. 

JR’s Pups-N-Stuff is a nonprofit volunteer/foster-based dog rescue located in Salem Lakes and Wauwatosa. Their rescue was built by a network of foster parents who do not discriminate because of breed, age, or health status. Over the 15 years that they’ve operated, north of 10,000 dogs have found forever homes. This Sunday, they will be collecting much-needed supplies to continue their mission of saving animal lives. 

To see a list of items that will make a significant impact for JR’s, visit Lakefront’s website HERE. Bring those items down to Lakefront on Sunday and donate directly to representatives from the organization. Those who donate new or gently used supplies will receive a free beer on Lakefront and a $5 donation or more will get you a spin of JR’s prize wheel. 

Lakefront Brewery Tour Guide, Chad Lehman, knows JR’s Pups-N-Stuff well. 

“We have been fostering at JR’s for about 6 years,” says Lehman. “We got into it after we adopted one of our dogs from them 7 years ago. It’s incredibly rewarding to find the perfect fit for both the foster dog and the people looking to adopt. Many of these dogs have not had the best start in life and if we can turn that around, that’s the ultimate goal.”
