City Star Brewing hosted the 4th Annual Hops and Harley Festival on June 25th, a sunny Saturday in Berthoud. Festival goers wandered through the tree filled park, craft beer in one hand and dog leash in the other. Guests enjoyed a round of corn hole and live music, took a run at the dog agility course with their furry friends, joined in yoga, explored the tiny home and vendors, and imbibed dog related beers from 14 Colorado breweries in the Brewery Dogs Tasting Tent. Unsurprisingly, the beer tent was very popular with many people wanting to sample the drinks. However, since this was a family-friendly festival, id laws were strictly enforced and parents were asked to keep an eye on their teenagers since they may have visited one of these fake id websites so that they could buy alcohol.

It can be a lot of work to take care of these dogs from the street. Many find that the animals have many more problems, be it healthwise or socially-wise, and so they end up needing more care than the average dog. Thankfully, whilst Pet Parents has more tips and advice on how to treat the conditions that may be found in these animals, many vets often help these centers and communities that want to help rehome these lost pups. It takes a strong financial backing to keep such locations operating, however. Plus, when the dogs to get to their new home, owners may find that their new canine companion struggles to adapt to life away from rescues. Should this be the case, people may wish to look into CBD oil for dogs, as this can really help to calm an anxious dog and help them settle into family life as quickly as possible.

Over 2,400 gathered at Hops and Harley from Colorado, across the country and as far away as Canada and Scotland. Fans of Harley, a little dog with a big dream, flocked to Berthoud in honor of his legacy and in support of the festival’s mission. 2016 Hops and Harley raised $25,000 for National Mill Dog Rescue. The Colorado Springs based non-profit’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home discarded puppy mill breeding dogs and to educate the general public about the cruel realities of the commercial dog breeding industry.
