Wild River Grille Supports Shakespeare Animal Fund the entire month of July

Think how often dogs become humans' very best dinner partner. They don’t need small talk, they don't try to split the bill and they hang on their owners' every word or bite (often hoping they will spill a few in their direction). So what better way to reward their good behavior than taking them out to eat? Wild River Grille, located along the scenic Truckee River at 17 S. Virginia Street, is dishing up its annual "Dinner with Your Dog" event. Guests can bring their favorite dogs to dine during the month of July and a percentage of the proceeds go to the Shakespeare Animal Fund.

Help the community and enjoy a great meal by participating in the "Dinner with Your Dog" event. For more information, contact (775) 284-7455. 

Shakespeare Animal Fund is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to save lives by paying emergency veterinary bills for elderly, disabled, returning veterans and others whose dogs and cats are suffering and dying and they haven't the funds to help. There are thousands of local people who live alone, below the poverty line, and whose main "family" is their pet. They will do without medicine, food and other necessities to try to help their pet, and that's where Shakespeare Animal Fund steps in.

Founded in January 2004 under the direction of the Community Foundation, this organization has raised more than $500,000 to help local animals, but the need continuously grows; they get an average of 500 calls and emails each month begging for help. Injuries and illnesses include everything from animals who have porcupine quills in their bodies, are hit by cars, attacked by wild animals, burned in house fires, shot, puppies with Parvovirus, animals with cancer, blockages and many other painful and life-threatening issues.​

Offering a wide variety of gourmet entrées as well as quality wines and top-of-the-line brews, Wild River Grille is the perfect place to enjoy Reno’s natural beauty while helping the community.
