The annual PAWS gala/fundraiser is right around the corner which is an event that helps raise funds for the vital programs that PAWS provides in the North Kitsap and Bainbridge Island communities. The event will take place in the Canoe Ballroom at the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort on Saturday, June 2,from 5:30 to 11:00 p.m. With the strong support of the Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap communities, PAWS has been able to make a dramatic difference in the health & well-being of local pets for 42 years with adoption services, veterinary financial aid, and spay/neuter assistance programs. PAWS also provides exclusive programs that no other local animal organization can offer, such as Pets and Loving Seniors (PALS) program, which places harder-to-adopt senior animals in the homes of limited income senior adults, with food, litter & veterinary care, all provided by PAWS.
