## Story

The restaurant reopens under the leadership of Kyle Walters, a seasoned multi-unit restaurant operator, welcoming back longtime fans while introducing first-time guests to a broad menu. Alongside the Smashburgers and signature Dogs & Sausages that define the brand, guests can now enjoy Crispy and Grilled Chicken, shareables, Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos, craft draft beers, handcrafted cocktails and more, providing more choices and flavors for diners.

The celebration begins with a five-day community fundraiser benefiting Neighborhood Homework House, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping students succeed through academic support and enrichment programs. From Wednesday, Aug. 12 through Sunday, Aug. 16, guests who donate will receive a complimentary entrée of their choice, including any Dog, Sausage, Smashburger, Chicken item or Bad-Ass Breakfast Burrito. The reopening celebration offers guests the chance to explore the menu while supporting an organization that's making a meaningful difference for local students and their families.

"We've been hearing one question from the Azusa community for months: 'When is Dog Haus coming back?' We're excited to finally say the wait is over," said Walters. "I'm looking forward to welcoming everyone through our doors, meeting our guests and becoming part of a community that's been eager."

Dog Haus Azusa will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Happy hour is available Monday through Friday from 3-6 p.m.
