Located at the end of Swissvale’s understated Monongahela Ave. business district, the bar occupies an unassuming, wedge-shaped building.

Pittsburgh Pet of the Week: Meet Yogi, a Well-Loved Pup at Animal Friends
Breed: Mixed Breed (Medium) He is a happy, well-loved pup here at Animal Friends, but unfortunately his life before coming here was difficult. This cute boy is about three years old and came to the shelter through our Humane Investigation Department as just a small puppy. Due to Yogi’s court case, he had no choice but to grow up in the shelter. Yogi has made so many friends, learned wonderful doggy manners, and has made great strides during his time here with us. Now it is finally time for this boy to get to know a true home! This 50lb boy is also a part of our Foster-To-Adopt program, which means for four weeks our trainers here at Animal Friends will work with you and Yogi on his behavior and training within his new home. Yogi is a high energy boy who loves to play, and do enrichment, but Yogi does need to live in a home that is adults-only. He also could potentially live with another dog pending a successful meet and greet.
