Our PAWS FOR HOPE Dog Fun Show Fundraiser is being held for two reasons.
It offers us an opportunity to be visible, distribute literature, connect with people in the community, and answer questions about our program. The event also offers us the opportunity to “fetch funds” to underwrite the cost of our services.

A Day for Dogs & Fetching Funds!

• Photo Booth Fun

• Drool-Worthy Food

• “BEST OF” Dog Fun Show
