SAVANNAH, GA (October 3, 2022) — Join Renegade Paws Rescue for an evening of elegant wine tasting in support of Wag-O-Ween 2022! “A Toast to Wag-O-Ween” will officially kick off this year’s Wag-O-Ween festivities and will feature the Savannah debut of Rescue Dog Wines, an award-winning wine company with a heart for rescue dog organizations.

“We are delighted to support Savannah rescue organizations and share our wines,” said Blair Lott, president, Rescue Dog Wines. “Fifty percent of our profits support animal rescues across the country, and we can’t think of a better way to make our Savannah debut than by partnering with Wag-O-Ween and all the Savannah-area animal rescues it benefits.”
