MEMBER IMPACT STORIES

Kevin & Hope:

Kevin knew he needed a Puggle in his life and searched all of the local shelters in hopes of finding one.  One day, he stumbled upon a listing for puppies through a local breeder and he knew it was fate.  Eleven years later and Hope is still Kevin’s everything. According to him, Hope thinks she is a person and even flashes you a smile when she is happy! Thanks to the PAWS Wellness clinic and veterinary vouchers, Hope was able to be spayed and is kept up to date every year on vaccines. During this time of Covid, Kevin says the pet food pantry has helped them more than ever to ensure Hope is never hungry. In fact he says, she’s a little chunky but that’s just more to love. Kevin “thanks the program and staff for the years of kindness and support they have given to us.”

Miss Ashleigh & Monk and Charlie:

Miss Ashleigh decided in 2010 to attend the Harley Davidson Rendezvous not aware that her future children were waiting for her there. Harley and Monk were just barely two months old and traveled to the Harley Rendezvous in an RV with my brother. My husband worked security at the Rendezvous and my brother was in charge of parking. He brought them because he knew he would find them a loving home with someone in attendance because bikers are child and animal lovers. I didn’t know they were coming, but when I saw them I knew they belonged with me. I fell in love at first sight, they instantly became my babies and I’m blessed to have them. Harley was named after Harley Davidson bikes and Monk after my nieces favorite TV show Monk. PAWS has been amazing, they care deeply not only for my boys but me also. I tell everyone who is in need to call PAWS because they will do everything in their power to help them and because of PAWS, I’m able to take better care of myself. Food and Vet visits are very expensive, but I can rest easy knowing that some of the financial burden is lifted, I can eat better and pay bills. We love them and are so grateful for this program
