Blake’s Hard Cider (BHC), the Midwest’s largest craft cidery, announces it will continue it’s “be kind mission” with the return of the beloved cider, Fido, with a $5,000 donation to Pets for Patriots, a national non-profit organization that uplifts the lives of military veterans and saves the lives of the most overlooked shelter dogs and cats.
Latin for “I am faithful”, Fido is a fall semi-sweet cider featuring Michigan Chinook and Cascade hops, Blake’s apples, homegrown raspberries, and grapefruit peel. With a 6.8% ABV, it is offered in a 12oz/6-pack and can be found at most chains and independent retailers throughout BHC’s 18-state footprint. Fido is part of BHC’s Kinder Cider Series made up of innovative cider profiles, supporting non-profit organizations that share the BHC company values. Find Fido here.
“We honor and celebrate our military and veteran’s service to our country,” said Andrew Blake, BHC owner and founder. “Blake’s Farm was founded by my grandfather, Gerald Blake, in 1946 after returning home from service in WWII. As a family, we are proud to employ many veterans throughout the company. The response to Fido has been incredible and we are proud to be able to bring it back for its third year.”
Established in 2013, Blake’s Hard Cider is an independent, family-owned and operated craft cidery. Grown, brewed and packaged entirely on a 1,000-acre orchard in Armada, MI, BHC was founded on the value of its almost 75-year farming history.

Pets for Patriots gives the gifts of fidelity, joy and love to veterans and pets through companion animal adoption.

Pets for Patriots partners with U.S. shelter and veterinary networks, military and veteran organizations, and the public to value and honor the lives of the most vulnerable and heroic among us.

Pets for Patriots not only transforms the lives of veterans and animals through its compassionate adoption program, but it also highlights the importance of ongoing care for these new companions. As veterans welcome pets into their lives, ensuring their well-being becomes a crucial part of the journey. This is where mobile veterinary services play a vital role, providing convenient and accessible care to pet owners who may face challenges in traveling to traditional veterinary clinics.
With the ability to bring essential services directly to their homes, mobile vets help alleviate the stress that can often accompany veterinary visits, especially for those who may have mobility issues or are managing the demands of everyday life. Pawssum Mobile Vets Melbourne exemplifies this innovative approach to pet care, offering a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the needs of pets and their owners. From routine check-ups and vaccinations to emergency care, mobile veterinarians ensure that pets receive quality medical attention in a familiar and comfortable environment.
This not only fosters a sense of trust and security for the animals but also allows veterans to access the veterinary care their companions need without the added burden of travel.
