Our Story:
Tim Schwarzauer grew up in Jackson, MS. In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, wreaking untold havoc, property damage and death. Tim and his family became actively involved in helping national animal rescue groups bring strays and abandoned pets from the worst hit areas to a temporary shelter at the state fairgrounds, in Jackson. Many of the pets were reunited with their families. Many more were not.
The national groups eventually moved on. Volunteers went home, or moved to the next need. Tim's family founded the Animal Rescue Fund of MS, a non-profit, "no-kill" animal sanctuary. What began as a Katrina-related rescue has since grown into one of the largest "no-kill" sanctuaries in Mississippi.
After college, Tim moved to North Carolina and fell head over heels in love with the state and its craft beer scene. He and Billy Gagon began brewing together, and after a successful brewing competition and a lot of encouragement from friends and families, they decided to combine their passion for good beer and animal rescue. Thus, Dingo Dog Brewing was born.
