Dear PAWS Supporter, Welcome to PAWS Wild Night! It is an honor to share this evening with you as we celebrate the lifesaving work that you help make possible. Whether you are a regular attendee, lifelong supporter, or hearing about PAWS for the first time, we are glad that you are here. Since 1967, PAWS has found homes for more than 130,000 dogs and cats and cared for over 140,000 wild animals. When a senior dog is abandoned, or a pregnant cat is at risk of euthanasia in an overcrowded shelter, or a great-horned owl becomes entangled in kite string, PAWS is there for them. And we can only do this work because of your support. Thank you for being here. You are the reason that PAWS is able to provide lifesaving and compassionate care for animals. With gratitude,
