Volunteer Fall 2025 Newsletter

Vaccination Clinic Results! Thanks to Dr. John Stevenson, Dr. Emily Becker, Dr. Brian Becker, and our great volunteers, we provided low-cost core vaccinations and microchips to 183 family-owned cats and dogs. This important work helps keep area pets healthy.

Dinner Auction Success! Our annual fundraiser was held September 27, 2025. Auction items included electric scooters, a photo safari trip to Africa, a Beatles record collection, and even a car! Our raffle winner won a 5-night trip to Disneyland for a family of four. All money raised will directly benefit the animals in our care with food, medicine, and needed supplies. Thank you to our amazing fundraising team and to our sponsors for making this event possible!

Grant Awarded for Tech Upgrades! Many thanks to Grays Harbor Community Foundation for awarding us a $5,000 grant to replace two obsolete and failing computers, purchase 2 POS systems for our Garage Sale, and improved WiFi boosters for campus communications.

Our Impact thru Sep 2025: Our cat and dog shelters have been very busy! We have cared for over 900 dogs and cats, 800+ cats and dogs received spay/neuter surgeries and vaccines, 469 cats and dogs have been adopted and 76 long-term cat residents were transferred to partner shelters where they were all adopted!

Volunteers, the Heart of Our Work. With no paid shelter staff, North Beach PAWS is run solely by a network of caring and dedicated volunteers. All monies generated from items purchased through our garage sale, donations, and grants are used to care for the cats and dogs. Thank you for supporting our mission to provide shelter to homeless and abandoned dogs and cats, heal them, and find them loving homes.
