Proceeds for this event go towards funding Paws Place Dog Rescue, a 501(C)(3) non-profit dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of rescued dogs. As you can imagine, the expense of operating a 26 kennel facility, providing medical care and treatment, and staffing our facility is costly. We need your help to continue our proud tradition of "Saving lives....One at a time!"
