From Paws for a Cause

Paws for a Cause es una organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)(3) que recauda fondos y promueve la concientización sobre los cuatro refugios de animales sin sacrificio en nuestra área, así como sobre el fondo médico para refugios del condado. Logramos esto mediante programas educativos y eventos de recaudación de fondos. Ayudamos a darles una segunda oportunidad a las mascotas de los refugios.

Adopt a pet

When you adopt a homeless dog or cat you’re saving the life of a loving and loyal animal. You’re also making space for other pets to find families of their own.
