Celebrate National Dog Month on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail
This August, the Tennessee Whiskey Trail raises a glass (and a paw) to our four-legged friends to celebrate National Dog Month. In partnership with local pet adoption centers, several distilleries along the Trail are hosting on-site adoption events and supply drives to help dogs find their forever homes — all while toasting Tennessee's signature spirit.

The events are a spirited extension of the Trail's ongoing 'Pawsport' program, which connects more than 20 dog-friendly distilleries across Tennessee. With pup-loving perks and cozy patio spaces, the Trail has become a go-to for travelers who prefer to bring their dogs along for their adventures.
Dog lovers can get involved in a few key ways. For example, Nelson's Green Brier Distillery in Nashville hosts an on-site pet adoption event on Saturday, August 3, in partnership with Pittie in Pink, a local foster-based rescue.
Leiper's Fork Distillery in Franklin collects much-needed supplies all month to benefit Williamson County Animal Center and the Humane Society of Williamson County. Guests are encouraged to drop off pet food, toys, and other necessities during their visit.

Additional participating distilleries include Brushy Mountain Distillery (Petros), Old Glory Distilling Co. (Clarksville), Old Forge Distillery (Pigeon Forge), and Sugarlands Distilling Co. (Gatlinburg), with events scheduled throughout the month.
To sweeten the deal, every dog adopted through these events receives a special 'Whiskey Wag Pack' filled with treats, toys, and essentials — all courtesy of the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, Visit Franklin, and Visit Knoxville.
If you're looking to add a furry friend to your family or simply want to support a great cause, this is the perfect excuse to hit the Trail. For a complete list of participating locations and event updates, visit tnwhiskeytrail.com.
Happy National Dog Month!

Pin Bench Homesoule in Jackson, TN, is a 12,000-square-foot home furnishings haven, and we fell in love with this unique find on a recent visit. This stunningly crafted bench is a whimsy of wooden branches and is big enough for a gaggle of friends to enjoy some time al fresco. It's $5,095 at Homesoule. Pin Tray No one does statement home curios like Tart by Taylor. Her large 'Outlaw' tray features a bold striped cowboy painted by artist Emma Katherine.

Choose from white or stone for $28 at Adelina Social Goods. Pin Striped beach blanket Stake out your spot in the sand, on the deck, or by the pool with this giant beach towel. It acts more like a blanket and channels some serious Nancy Meyers beach-cottage chic vibes. It's 60 by 80 inches and won't shrink, pill, or fuzz in the washer/dryer. Shop this for $160 at The Horeshoe Crab. Pin DESK Notecards How fabulously end-of-summer are these clever notecards designed by Charleston artist Sarah Schools?

It's roomy enough for your essentials but compact enough to carry everywhere. It features a fabric drawstring interior, two handles with a wide opening at the top, and a flat bottom. The Lake Como color scheme is apropos well beyond summer. This is $245 at Goldbug. Pin Rattan headband Easy, breezy, and just $12 — these rattan headbands are your go-to summer hair fix. Lightweight and textured, they add a polished touch to pool days, errands, or breezy dinners al fresco. They come in three neutral colors for $12 each at Hermosa. Pin Statement earrings These statement earrings are artfully mismatched with 15 hand-selected vintage charms — cameos, intaglios, coins, and colored glass — that catch the light and turn heads. Flash‑plated in antiqued gold over brass and designed in Savannah, they feel deeply personal and endlessly wearable. This Love Luxe-inspired FIND is $298 at Fallen Aristocrat. Pin Scarf necklace Part scarf, part charm necklace, this piece brings instant summer joy. Wrapped in nautical blue stripes (though there are many more to pick from!) and adorned with golden sea creatures and real shells, it's playful, lightweight, and unique. It comes with five nautical charms, but you can easily add, remove, and space them out until your heart's — and scarf's — content. This is $55 at Fox & Hen. Pin BATH & BEAUTY Contour stick An excellent creamy, blendable contour stick has so many fabulous uses. Swipe it on lips and eyelids, too! 1999's lightweight formula is designed to work across different skin textures and tones and won't settle into pores or fine lines. It comes in two tones — tea and kave — for $34 at Keep Shop. Pin Kimono robe We love to feel cozy and a little glam, whether we're getting ready for a night out or having a slow morning. This funky kimono robe, woven from 100% long-staple Turkish cotton and finished with delicate handwork, has a relaxed one-size fit and a snug waist tie. It's available in three great colors for $149 at The Loomia.

The makers are all about nostalgic scents that bring you back to core childhood memories. The soy candle in a glass jar is $24 at Blackjack Wax Co.
