CAMDEN — PAWS Animal Adoption Center invites the public to this year’s online Auction for the Animals, scheduled to run through midnight Monday, Dec. 4, with 200-plus items to bid on.
PAWS helps hundreds of displaced dogs and cats, while also offering services to support families dealing with a crisis, such as short-term hospitalization, domestic violence, homelessness and loss of income. It is also a veterinary clinic for low-income pet owners and pet owners who do not have an established veterinary relationship, according to a news release from PAWS Executive Director, Shelly Butler.
“Revenue from our events is incredibly important for us to be able to offer the array of essential services to our community that we do,” said Butler. “We will always be there for our community, but we can’t do it without their support, and the Auction for the Animals is a great way to give back.”
The auction offers hundreds of items from local businesses, for both large and small budgets. Whether it is a two-night stay in an executive suite overlooking the harbor or a gift card to a loved one’s favorite local store for their stocking, the PAWS online Auction for the Animals aims to offer something for everyone.
All net proceeds benefit the community of pet owners and pets in need at PAWS, providing food, shelter, community support services, adoption, and in many cases, life-saving veterinary care, as well as love and compassion.
Community sponsors include Downeast Dog News, Pet Maine, Seadog Brewing Company, Cape Air, Smiling Cow, The Feldman Family, Little River Veterinary Hospital, Hazel’s Take-out, The Green Store and Bowen’s Tavern.
