Lake County Fundraiser Supports Ohio Paws with Purpose

Several animal welfare organizations are hosting fundraising initiatives to support their missions. In Ohio, a July 18 fundraiser at LaVera Party Center will benefit Ohio Paws with Purpose, which works to improve the lives of local dogs and cats through community support and donations. In New York, the 11th annual 'Paws for Laws' event on May 17 will raise funds for the NYSP Troop E K-9 unit, helping purchase equipment and care for police dogs. Meanwhile, Grateful Paws NJ has launched a 'Seniors for Seniors' program, enabling seniors to adopt older shelter cats at no cost, addressing both loneliness among seniors and the need for homes for senior cats. In North Carolina, Paws Place Dog Rescue is raising funds to build a storm shelter to protect dogs and staff during severe weather, with a goal of $90,000 needed to complete the project. Each of these efforts underscores the vital role of community involvement in supporting animal welfare and safety.
