A Note From Our Executive Director
|
|
We are gearing up for the holiday season at PAWS! That means we’ve got our Secret Santa wishlist for our cats and dogs ready. Our Foster Coordinators will soon start seeking people who can temporarily open their homes to a friend or two. And as always, we hope to get as many dogs and cats to their forever families in time for the holidays! You can help by spreading the word about our needs and check out our website for more information on fostering or adopting. Stay tuned for information on our upcoming "Home for the Holidays" adoption promotion, taking place in December.
With gratitude,
Lisa Bahr
Executive Director

Members of the PAWS Monthly Giving Program are incredibly important to PAWS. Enrolled donors automatically send a donation to PAWS each month. It’s just like your Netflix account, except the subscription is for saving lives! By providing a recurring donation, you fund critical veterinary expenses, essential supplies, and, most importantly, the security of knowing we can open our doors to even the neediest of animals.

Brook the cat was recently adopted after being with PAWS for 6 weeks. She was adopted by the Cat Adoption Assistant, who sees hundreds of cats come through PAWS every year, but just absolutely fell in love with Brook. As you can see from her first picture at home - she popped right out of her carrier and was ready to explore her new domain.

Even though Halloween is over, we just had to share this amazing group costume. We know we're biased, but we think Cooper (at PAWS as Bryce) really steals the show as Scooby!

Duchess, the senior beauty, was adopted recently after 11 weeks with PAWS. During that time, she dealt with some significant eye issues, but made a full recovery and now gets to live with a house full of cat-friendly Beagles!
