North Beach PAWS celebrates community support, raising $80,000 at the Annual Dinner and Auction
More than 200 community members, supporters, and animal lovers came together to support homeless and abandoned cats and dogs.
A highlight of the evening was raising the full $10,000 matching gift, along with an incredible $ 40,000 donation from a longtime supporter. Funds raised will go toward building a new dog shelter and supporting veterinary care, food, enrichment, and other services for animals in the shelter's care. The new 3,700-square-foot dog shelter will provide modern kennels, play space, and a dedicated area for medical care.
A special thank you to North Beach PAWS
Community Partners
North Beach PAWS is incredibly grateful to the Gray Harbor Community Foundation for its Grant to replace the trusses in the Garage Sale building.
Also, a big thank you to Les Schwab for replacing the tires on the small van through their program: “Tires for Purpose Program.”
Their stories: How do cats and dogs find their way to NBP
Kind-hearted individuals or animal control bring in cats and dogs found on the streets, roaming in nature, born outdoors, lost, or abandoned.
Sometimes the most loving pet owners have to surrender their companion due to illness, a housing crisis, or other unexpected life circumstances. Always a heartbreaking decision.
