Bark Brew & Tattoo is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings people together through creative fundraising events in Upstate New York. Our mission is to break down the harmful stereotypes surrounding often misunderstood breeds—including Pit Bulls, Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, and more—by promoting education, advocacy, and responsible ownership. Each event combines fun, community, and purpose, offering a welcoming space where guests can enjoy themselves while educating and celebrating about the importance of fair treatment for all animals. We collaborate with ethical rescue groups in our area to feature adoption opportunities. Proceeds from our events directly support these carefully selected beneficiaries that provide care, protection, and second chances for these beloved breeds.
