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.
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 Sanctuary, Animal Resource Foundation, Cats R Us and Golden Retriever Rescue Education and Training (GRREAT). Our GRREAT Happy Tails Day in 2005 raised almost $2,000 to help comfort older Golden Retrievers!
| 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. |
