Pints and Paws for a Cause

On Saturday, June 10th, Thomas Creek Brewery hosted St Francis Farm Animal Sanctuary for our first Pints and Paws for a Cause event and it turned out to be a great success for us!


Many Greenville, SC residents came out to support our sanctuary and brought their own four-legged friends along. The local natural dog treats maker, Bully Bites, also came out to sell her delicious natural treats in support of St Francis Farm. It was truly a day for fun and fellowship!

Three of our most cuddly residents: Milo, Tallulah, and Matilda got to hang out all day at the Brewery and got all the cuddles they could handle! Milo, who is very much still a puppy, was the energetic one, grabbing everyone’s attention with his big smile. While Matilda pulled everyone in with her long houndy body. Tallulah was the biggest hit at the event, with her sad eyes and her perfect “pet me” pose!

Our event also had some awesome support from several local sports teams: The Greenville Drive, The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, and The Carolina Panthers. Each team donated some great items for us to raffle off to raise money for our pups, that made Pints and Paws even better! Everyone was really excited to get the chance to win these great prizes. Congratulations to our winners AJ, Cathy, and Dawn! They have won center ice tickets and Swamp Rabbits hockey gear; tickets and Greenville Drive gear; a collectible Carolina Lithograph football.



We are thrilled to announce that Pints and Paws for a Cause brought in a little over $600 to support our rescue mission and all the residents at St Francis Farm! We truly appreciate all of the support that we received that made this possible from Thomas Creek Brewery, Bully Bites, and raffle ticket sales from members of the community!

Finally, I think the best part of everyone’s day, was when sweet Tallulah found her forever family! This beautiful senior beagle had a very rough start to life; being over bred by hunters and then dumped at a shelter, covered in tumors when they were done with her. But now, she is getting the life she deserves, living out her golden years surrounded by all the love she could need, with the absolute best family for her! We are all overjoyed to see this perfect happy ending <3


Thank you so much to everyone for your support in making this event successful!
