Rescue Brew 2026
A collaboration between NoDa Brewing Company and the Humane Society of Charlotte

Is your pet ready for their moment in the spotlight?

Rescue Brew is back. One lucky dog and one fabulous cat will become the faces of NoDa Brewing Company’s limited-release beer.

Last year, Rescue Brew raised over $90,000 to support pets and families in our community. Every vote this year helps continue that impact.

The pets with the most votes will be crowned Top Dog and Queen City Kitty. Their photos will be transformed into custom portraits by Abby Hutchinson of Abs. Paint Co. and featured on the official Rescue Brew 2026 label.

The top 6 dogs and top 6 cats will also be featured in the 2027 Rescue Brew calendar. Each winner will receive a professional photo session with Reflections by Rhiannon, and calendars will be available for purchase to support animals in need.

How to Enter

  • Submit a photo of your pet and tell us why they should be the face of Rescue Brew
  • Entry period: April 13 through June 15 at 8:59:59 p.m.
