Dog lovers, mark your calendars! On Sunday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., The Anchorage Tavern will host Paws and Pours, a dog-friendly fundraiser that brings the community together to support Beacon Animal Rescue, a local no-kill shelter in Ocean View.
Presented in partnership with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and its Vodka for Dog People initiative, the event promises a fun-filled day of tail-wagging activities—all for a good cause. Proceeds will support Beacon’s mission to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome homeless pets throughout South Jersey.
“This community always shows up with heart,” said a representative from The Anchorage Tavern. “We’re proud to host an event that highlights the incredible work being done at Beacon Animal Rescue and gives people a chance to connect over something they love—dogs.”

Attendees are encouraged to bring their pups along for a variety of activities, including:
• Doggie fashion show – Dress up your dog to impress and compete for fun prizes. A $10 fee benefits Beacon Animal Rescue. Pre-registration is required via the Tavern’s Facebook page.
• Adoptable dogs on-site – Meet furry friends looking for their forever homes.
• Chip & putt dog bowl game – Test your skills and win prizes courtesy of Tito’s.
• Photo contest – Post your best pup pic using #PawsAtTheAnchorage for a chance to win a free pet photo shoot.
• Local pet vendors – Shop grooming services, portraits, treats, and other pup-related goodies.
Adding to the fun, from May 1 through June 8, Tito’s is donating $1 to Beacon Animal Rescue for every Tito’s Orange Crush sold. It’s an easy and refreshing way to support a great cause.
Nina from Tito’s Handmade Vodka shared, “We created Vodka for Dog People to support the organizations that make a difference in the lives of pets. Partnering with beloved community spots like The Anchorage Tavern helps bring that mission to life.”
The Anchorage Tavern is located at 823 Bay Avenue in Somers Point. For more information, visit www.anchoragetavernrestaurant.com or contact anchoragetavernmarketing@gmail.com.
