……………………….

Thank you to RDog Post Park for presenting the 8th annual Cause for Paws fundraising event to support the Oakville and District Humane Society. Last year’s bash raised a whopping $52,000.00 which purchased food and supplies for the dogs in the shelter as well as totally funded our highly successful Animal Behaviour Program.

This program has already saved the lives of dogs with specific behaviour issues that, with some personal time and attention, improved their adoptability and were able to find their new forever families. During their stay in the shelter, our dogs learn to behave and develop their social skills with the help of staff and specially trained volunteers. All of this is directly due to the success of Cause for Paws. This year’s event is going to be even more exciting, with a change of venue and bigger better auction items and yummy food and drink. Special thanks to all the volunteers who work so hard and are so very dedicated to making the lives of the dogs in the shelter so much better. Cause for Paws 2009 is going to be PAWSITIVELY fantastic!
