We're so excited to partner with PDX Wine Events and Dauntless Veteran Foundation for this incredible fundraiser! 🎯🐕
Every service dog we place transforms a veteran's life — and this event will fund exactly that. In May, we had the honor of matching Veteran Dallas with his service dog through our partnership with Dauntless Veteran Foundation, and now we're working together to provide this life-changing gift to another deserving veteran.
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon featuring axe throwing, delicious BBQ, raffles, and the chance to make a real difference. Your $40 ticket directly supports our mission to provide expertly trained service dogs to veterans in need.
Every ticket = Every step closer to changing a veteran's life.

Andy Here with and update on my Irish adventures ~🐾💚
Just wrapped up three amazing nights at Markree Castle! 🏰 From red carpet entrances to making friends with the castle guards (both the armored and lion variety), this place was perfect. We are off to our next stop but I double checked to make sure that Di**le made it on the bus this time! 🧸 Best castle adventure ever ~ 👑🐾
