SAVANNAH — Coastal Empire Beer Co. is hosting a fundraising fourth-anniversary party from 6-10 p.m. Friday at 79 Ross Road in Savannah to raise money for Coastal Pet Rescue.

The “4 Years & 4 Paws” party will feature barbecue from the Smokin’ Pig and celebratory craft brews, Junkyard Angel will entertain guests, and attendees will have a chance to win a range of raffle prizes.  

All proceeds from the celebration will be donated to Coastal Pet Rescue. Founded in 2003, the Savannah-based organization is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused and neglected dogs and cats in the Coastal Empire.

 “We have already rescued more pets this year than we did during the whole of 2014, and our veterinary expenses have been very high,” said Lisa Scarbrough, co-director and founder of Coastal Pet Rescue. “We are so grateful to Coastal Empire Beer Co. for arranging this a ‘4 Years & 4 Paws’ party to help us help pets in need in the Coastal Empire.”

“My wife and I adopted our dog Lucky from Coastal Pet Rescue and were very impressed with the dedication of all the volunteers there,” Coastal Empire co-founder Chris Haborak said.  “We are delighted they will be joining us on Aug. 28, and everybody who attends the party and then provides a forever home for a pet from Coastal Pet Rescue will receive a gift of a free private brewery tour.”
