Did you know your pup has an aura as unique as their paw print?
Every color tells a story about your dog’s energy, personality, and even their purpose.

❤️ Rescue pups often shine with bold reds, showing their strong survival instincts.
💙 Natural healers glow in calming blues and mystical purples.
💛 Social butterflies light up in greens and yellows, radiating joy and connection.

Want to see what colors surround your pup? Join us for our Dog Aura Event and discover the magical spectrum that makes your best friend one-of-a-kind! https://DogAuraSalem.eventbrite.com

Come for the magic, leave with a colorful new way of seeing your dog.

What a magical way to welcome the Autumn Equinox—with pups, neighbors, and so much joy in Derby Garden!

Our first Tails of Salem event brought together dogs and their wonderful humans to celebrate the season with flower collars, pumpkin pup cups, flower oracle cards, and even a parade around the garden. There were moments of play, moments of peace, and plenty of wagging tails. Kicking off our tours with this joyful celebration reminded me how much light and connection can be found in the simple things—dogs, flowers, and community.

A huge thank you to Grace Harrington Murdoch of Flowers & Stars for sharing her gifts, wisdom, and energy, and to everyone who joined us—you made this day truly special.

Cute dogs. Great beer. Local goodies. Good cause. What more do you need?

For all the canine companions who weren’t able to join last weekend’s festivities - this Saturday is for you!

Saturday from 1-5pm we’re so excited to be joined by French Press Candle Co and Masshole Biscuit Co vending their amazing dog treats and candles for a cause, as well as The Modern Pet Photographer taking professional pup portraits and the Sunday Spectator creating custom trucker hats right in the taproom with your choice of press-on patches. And for food, to keep us all fed and festive, Wild Fox Pierogi will be serving up their fresh and creative takes on classic pierogis.

We hope you’ll be able to join us, and help support some fantastic local businesses while also learning about the great work being done by the MSPCA and Northeast Animal Shelter! If we’re very lucky, there might even be an MSPCA dog ambassador to meet in the taproom. See you there!
