Dear PAWS Supporter, Welcome to PAWS Wild Night–—2021 edition!

We’re honored to share this special evening with you. You are essential to our mission to serve cats, dogs and wild animals. So, here’s to you: the long-time supporters of PAWS, those who have recently joined us, and those of you who are learning about PAWS for the first time. We need and appreciate you.

This year has been another year of change and challenges for all of us, but because of donors like you, we are providing vital services to our community every day. Your generous support of PAWS gives homeless cats and dogs the chance to find loving families. And during these unprecedented times, the warmth that an animal companion can provide to people is more important than ever.

Integral to our mission to provide life-saving care to cats, dogs and wildlife, PAWS offers educational programs for youth in schools. Our efforts reinforce the intrinsic value of animals to inspire action that is consistent with demonstrating compassion and respect for them.

Our efforts to create a better world for animals and for people who love them have never been more critical. Calls from the public to our wildlife center have increased dramatically, and this year, we have received a staggering number of wild animals that have been injured or orphaned by the extreme weather events that our region is experiencing with greater intensity and frequency.

And thanks to people like you, there is not only hope, but action every day to better the lives of animals. Your support of our work during PAWS Wild Night is deeply appreciated.

With gratitude,

Heidi Wills Yamada CEO

UND-A-NEED Right now, there is a dog like

Ashlynn frightened and heavily pregnant in an overwhelmed shelter.

And while her puppies will be quickly adopted, moms like Ashlynn are left behind – forgotten and at risk of euthanasia.

When you make a gift tonight, you can bring a mom like Ashlynn to PAWS, where she can raise her babies before finding her forever home.

You can be the life-saving difference for an animal in need right now. Please join us in raising $200,000 so that moms like Ashlynn aren’t left behind.

The auctioneer will take bids at the following levels: $25,000

$10,000 $1,000

$5,000

$500

$2,500

$250

Your gift during Fund-A-Need is 100 percent tax-deductible and eligible for most employer matching gift programs.
