Fargo Brewing Company partnered with h 4 Luv of Dog Rescue, a local animal rescue organization, to help for some “One-der Dogs” by putting their pictures on beer cans.
”Our One-der dogs are dogs that will live their best life in a home by themselves and there’s no other pets,” Jared Ryan, a volunteer at the rescue group, told local news station KVRR. ”So, they can be a little bit tougher to find homes for, foster homes, that type of thing.”
Fargo Brewing organized an event where customers enjoyed a six-pack of the Fargo Original Larger for $9 and also got a chance to meet dogs for adoption.
Jerad Ryan has been with the rescue group for over four years and he told CNN: “I was always trying to think of ways to promote her and the other less fortunate dogs in our rescue,”
”At my job at Northern Plains Label we produce labels for breweries, and I just had the light bulb style idea to feature the dogs on beer cans.”
”This really has been great exposure for these harder to adopt dogs, and I would be surprised if this doesn’t lead to an adoption or two.”
Nyx, Bizzy, Jensen, Hobie, Moby, and Virginia are the six dogs who are featured on the beer cans.
Fargo Brewing Company told CNN in a statement, “We hope that having these dogs featured on the cans will help raise awareness and shine a spotlight on them where they might normally have been overlooked.”
Tawny Hewitt, the brewery’s social media and marketing manager told CNN that they have sold 25 of the 40 cases of beer made with the canine labels.
Ryan told GMA: “I make labels, including beer labels, at Northern Plains Label for my day job,”
“My company agreed to donate the labels for my idea and Fargo Brewing Company wanted to help as well.”
“Five of the dogs are ‘One-der’ dogs that need to be an only pet in the home, one of the dogs, Moby, isn’t a “One-der” but he is older and has some special medical needs that have been a big part of his struggles finding a forever home.”
“Bizzy has been with the rescue since June 2018, she has bounced around from home to shelter to home.point 196 | She hasn’t had the best luck living with other dogs but she is not reactive on walks when she meets other dogs.point 292 |

“A person who adopts a ‘One-der’ dog is truly a rescue angel for that particular dog.”
“These ‘One-der’ dogs will soak up all the love they can get. The person or persons that adopt a ‘One-der’ just need to understand what that dog’s particular needs are and commit to them.”
