Lost Boy Cider (317 Hooffs Run Drive), just off the east end of Eisenhower Avenue, is partnering with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) for an event tomorrow that’s as much for dogs as for drinkers.

From 1-6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26, the cidery will host Dog Days of Summer, an event full of dog-friendly activities and a chance to hang out with adoptable AWLA animals.

Activities include:

  • $5 nail trims
  • a ball pit
  • obstacle course
  • pet portraits
  • splash pads

“Bring your own pup or come adopt a puppy on-site!” Lost Boy Cider’s website said. “There will be vendors for your four-legged friends, snacks for you, and even a splash area for your pup!”
