Charleston Currents – Rescue Brew

FOCUS: Time is now to vote for new Rescue Brew Beer winners

More than 670 dogs and cats wait for your votes to be spokesdog and spokescat for the Charleston Animal Society in its contest to put faces on labels of 2021 Rescue Brew Beer. If this year’s competition is like last year’s, picking the three finalist dogs and three finalist cats will be fierce, organizers say.

Voting continues through Sept. 17. Each $1 vote cast at CharlestonAnimalSociety.org supports the lifesaving programs of the Charleston Animal Society, including No Kill South Carolina 2024. From the three finalists in each category, one dog and one cat will be selected for grand prizes by celebrity judges to appear on the labels and will be announced Oct. 16.
