Pups and Pints: A Spring Adoption Event at The Bristol Bazaar

Lori loves writing, pets, and music and will share articles, tips, and insights from her own experience. (She recently wrote an article on Modern Apizza!)

The Bristol Bazaar is a vibrant, community-driven marketplace featuring handmade goods, local artisans, and exciting events for all to enjoy.

Get ready for an afternoon full of excitement, joy, and wagging tails at Pups and Pints, a heartwarming spring adoption event happening on April 12th at the Bristol Bazaar. Following the success of their fall events, Pups & Pumpkins, in partnership with Dog Star Rescue, the Bristol Bazaar team wanted to extend their support to furry friends looking for their forever homes this spring. It’s a perfect way to celebrate the season with adoptable pups, great food, drinks, and a fantastic shopping experience.

How the Event Came to Life

The idea for Pups and Pints was born out of the wonderful collaboration the Bristol Bazaar has had with Dog Star Rescue for their Pups & Pumpkins event each fall. With the overwhelming success of their fall gatherings, they felt it only natural to bring a spring edition to life.
