🐾 In Loving Memory of Shadow ♥️

We’re heartbroken to share the passing of our beloved friend, Shadow — the 2018 Pints n’ Paws poster dog and a cherished member of the Historic Downtown Sanford family. ✨

🦴 Shadow wasn’t just a good boy — he was THE good boy. Loyal, gentle, and full of heart, he brought smiles to strangers, tail wags to every stroll, and love to everyone lucky enough to know him. 🫶

🐾 From gracing our posters and pint glasses, to proudly strutting the streets with his family, Shadow will always be part of the Pints n’ Paws legacy. His spirit lives on in the pawprints he left on this town — and on all of us who adored him. 💛🌈

🐾🎉 We Have a Winner! 🎉🐾
Please join us in giving a big barkin’ congratulations to BOKEY—your official 2026 Pints n’ Paws POSTER PUP! 🏆🐶

After counting every single like and verifying votes, Bokey came out on top with the most tail-waggin’ support! 💥👏 She’s a local legend—named in honor of Sanford itself, and proudly lives, works, and plays right here in Historic Downtown with her dad, Craig Cox.

📍 From the beer garden to the brick streets, Bokey is a true Sanford sweetheart and we can’t wait to show her off during the upcoming Pints n’ Paws Reboot! Stay tuned for more info on that paw-ty! 🐕🍻

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who entered, voted, and shared—and of course to the amazing Marcie Fry Photography for capturing each pup’s personality so perfectly! 📸💕

This was no ordinary contest—it was a paw-ty with a purpose: every like and share helped raise awareness and support for local pet rescues. 💯❤️

Didn’t win this year? Don’t fret! We encourage you to try again next time—because every dog deserves their moment in the spotlight. 🐾✨
