The Pennsylvania SPCA, in partnership with Philadelphia Brewing Co., will host Dine Out for Pet's Sake, a fundraiser for the animal shelter, on Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Restaurants, beer gardens and bars across the city are participating. Most will donate 5 or 10 percent of the day's sales to the PSPCA, but a few places have opted to donate even more.
