The Grabes, on their part, are grateful to Greenwich for their success in what is their third Little Pub. The original Little Pub opened in Ridgefield in 2009 and a second location in Wilton opened in 2013.

“The people in Greenwich have been so great, and we’ve developed a lot of regulars,” Doug said. “We want to give back to the community.”

Highlights of the kick-off on Sept. 15 include a chance to meet the Adopt-A-Dog team and adoptable dogs available to meet outside on the patio at 5:00pm.

About Adopt-A-Dog: Adopt-A-Dog was founded over three decades ago when three women had a vision. Donna Nives, Gloria Scheuer and Pam Fahnestock became concerned about the growing number of animals languishing in area shelters. Since then, Adopt-A-Dog has been working toward that end. Recently, Adopt-A-Dog participated in the Clear the Shelters event, resulting in 19 dogs adopted. “We have improved our Adoptions Programs and the results are fantastic, Kristen said.
