Drumroll please .... It's time for the puppy name reveal.

Nearly a month ago, Hearts of Hope dog rescue in Grand Rapids called on Michigan's craft brewers to step up and support one of 13 puppies born to an injured dog in their care.

They offered a simple deal: A $100 donation sponsored a puppy. The brewery could then name the pup, and get professional portraits taken with it before the little one is put up for adoption later this summer. All the portraits - as well as these puppy pictures - are being done by Lynae Marie Photography.

The nonprofit group got a quick response. And some were extra-generous. Greyline Brewing padded its sponsorship check. And Barfly Ventures - owners of HopCat and Grand Rapids Brewing Co. - picked out two dogs to name.

The pups are growing fast

"It did not take long at all. It was really fast and I was thrilled," said Hearts of Hope founder Janelle McFarlane of the puppy sponsorship.

Breweries from across the state called with offers to name them, from Benton Harbor to Bellaire.

McFarlane says she loves how original the names are. She thinks they fit this extra-large litter, which in the last few weeks has shown they have personality to spare.

"I thought all of them had a lot of character," she said of the names selected by the breweries. "And that was great."

There were some last-minute name scrambles, but now every pup has one.

"Arcadia had four different names and they were trying to narrow it down. The Livery had picked a boy name, but we only had one girl left."

Without further ado, check out the names for "The Brew Crew."

Maltdog

Maltdog got his name from HopCat in Grand Rapids, the inverse of the brewpub's moniker.

"We’ve always joked about the Bizarro version of HopCat being called MaltDog, so that name came naturally," said Chris Knape, vice president of marketing and communications for BarFly Ventures. "Now he just needs to get old enough to hold a beer in his paw, like HopCat."

Ronin

Ronin was named by Grand Rapids Brewing Co., for a light, Japanese-style lager that’s been a refreshing summer hit.

Harmony

Now that the pups are nursing less and starting to eat some mashed puppy food, Harmony the mom is getting more of a break. McFarlane said the young shepherd mix has been an "amazing mom" to her huge brood.

Her paw, injured when she was caught in a coyote trap someone had set for her, has healed well.

Harmony, who is heartworm positive, will stay with McFarlane this summer so she can get medical treatment.

Interested in adopting a Brew Crew puppy? Hearts of Hope will begin accepting applications this week.

By the July 4 weekend, McFarlane hopes to have them settled into the group's network of foster homes so they can do a little more growing and socializing before heading to their new homes later this summer.

McFarlane said the group is always looking for people who want to be puppy foster parents, or those who just want to donate some dog food to a good cause. The puppies' meal of choice? Costco's Nature's Domain Grain-Free Puppy Food.
