Outreach
With the goal to make a difference, just about every event Paws pet boutique hosts or participates in has a purpose to give back in some way.
Since 1999, we are proud to have raised and contributed thousands of dollars to a variety of different pet causes, including Tails of Hope, Anne Arundel County SPCA, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Animal Resource Foundation, Cats R Us, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Fidos for Freedom, Humane Society/SPCA of Prince Frederick County, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Emergency Guide Dog Fund, Westie Rescue, and Golden Retriever Rescue Education and Training (GRREAT). Many of these events include pets for adoption. We are always excited to find a forever home for a dog or cat.
In 2008, $18,000 was raised at Paws pet boutiques events and donated to a variety of animal charities. Ben's dog-friendly Cruise for Compassion is always a popular annual event, which raised $10,000 in 2008 for Animal Legal Defense Fund. We are grateful to all those who have supported Paws pet boutique and our causes over the years. It couldn't happen without you.
| Our involvement with the creation of the first off-leash dog park in the county was one of our most satisfying efforts. With the help of a good group of organized dog-lovers, we petitioned, proposed and worked closely with the wonderful folks at Country Parks and Recreation Department to create Quiet Waters Dog Park and Beach (only 10 minutes away from Paws pet boutique). We raised $12,000 to pay for the benches and other amenities to give the park a "four-paws up" start. Paws pet boutique sponsored the bench that looks into this wonderful park, where four-legged friends have the time of their lives. Fortunately our County Executive supported this first dog park and has pushed to create several more in Anne Arundel County. It makes for a wonderful place to visit and live.
