Dear PAWS Supporter, Welcome to PAWS Wild Night–—2020 edition!

We’re honored to share this special evening with you. You are pivotal 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 appreciate you.

These are uncertain times, but animals don’t know there’s a pandemic.

They still need us. Your generous support of PAWS gives cats and dogs the chance to find loving homes. And during these socially-distant times, the affection that an animal companion provides people is more important than ever.

You are also helping to rehabilitate thousands of injured and orphaned wild animals so they can be returned to the wild. These beautiful animals are every bit as much of the tapestry of our region as we are. Together, we’re working to achieve a vision of a world where people see the intrinsic value of animals and consistently make choices that demonstrate our humanity, compassion and respect.

Thank you for making a positive impact on animals and the people who care about them by supporting PAWS.

Warmly,

Heidi Wills CEO

UND-A-NEED Every dog has a story.

Tonight, you can change the way their story ends.

Senior dogs Petey and Helo found themselves alone in an abandoned home after their owner suddenly passed away.

Surviving for months with minimal help from a neighbor, Petey and Helo had only each other for comfort.

You can change the future for more cats and dogs with nowhere to go by helping us raise $200,000 tonight.

When you raise your paddle tonight, you will be giving a second chance to animals without homes or families like Petey and Helo.

The auctioneer will take bids at the following levels: $20,000

$10,000

$1,000

$500

$5,000 $250

$2,500 $100

Click HERE to donate.

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

You can be the difference in the life of an animal in need.

HANK YOU!
