🐾 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. 💛🌈

🇺🇸 Paws for a moment of remembrance.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom—and we’re raising a paw (and a pint) in their memory. 🐾
