Out of concern for the health and safety of our volunteers and patrons, and in light of the city and county directives regarding tap rooms, Divine Canines has canceled Barks for Beers 2020.

We have begun preliminary planning for Barks for Beers 2021, hopefully to be held in May.

As you may know, Barks for Beers is Divine Canine’s largest fundraiser, allowing us to support more than 140 active dog-handler teams who visit more than 210 partner sites and special events throughout Central Texas. Our volunteers travel more than 10,000 miles and make more than 63,000 individual contacts per year. We provide free therapy dog services to various populations including older populations and hospitalized patients, many of whom are particularly vulnerable during this health crisis. We are committed to ensuring they feel supported during this time. Partnering with our dogs to enhance the well-being of those in need. That’s what Divine Canines is all about. And our clients need us more than ever. Your support and patience during this time mean the world to us. If your situation allows, help uplift our community through the power of dogs by donating today: https://divinecanines.org/donate/

Onward, Max Woodfin, Executive Director
