A new crawl is coming to Downtown Reno. The first Barks & Bubbles Pub Crawl is a dog-friendly cruise through the Downtown Riverwalk district this Saturday.
"At some of the stops there will be human drinks, others will be dog stops, and some will have both," said Kristen Saibini with the Downtown Reno Partnership. "We just know there's so many animal loving people in our community, so we wanted to do something where people can enjoy the great weather and all the businesses along the riverwalk, and you can do it with your pup!"
The crawl will benefit two local nonprofits that help animals in need.
"One is For Pets' Sake, is a senior dog rescue here in Reno, and the other is Options Veterinary Care, which is the only nonprofit veterinary clinic in our area," Saibini said. "Animal welfare across the nation is really having a hard time right now, with so many animals in their care, and unfortunately Reno is no exception. So we really wanted to do something that will support these amazing organizations that are helping animals in need in our community."
There are 12 stops on the crawl, and it finished up at The Eddy for pictures and a raffle. It's a way to support local businesses and nonprofits that help save lives.
"There are about 80 businesses in the Riverwalk District," Saibini said. "It's a great area in Downtown Reno and we're very excited to be working with them for this very fun event."
The crawl is this Saturday, May 18.
