Paws for a Cause, Inc.

Past Events

The 2008 Paws for a Cause benefited the Humane Society of Baltimore County and Recycled Love.  The Silent Auction/Fundraiser took place on Wednesday, September 24th at Yellow Dog Tavern in Baltimore.  We were overbooked days in advance and raised more than $6,000 from the silent auction and sponsorships!  Paws, the Humane Society, and Recycled Love would like to thank everyone for their support.

The 2009 Paws for a Cause Charity Night & Silent Auction benefited local non-profits, Arden’s Arc and Karma Dogs.  The Silent Auction/Fundraiser took place on Tuesday, September 22nd at The Red Star Bar & Grill in Fells Point, MD.  This year we had a record number of attendees!  With the money raised, Arden’s Arc can potentially neuter & return or adopt out 15+ cats.  They already have a list of locations ready to target.  For Karma Dogs, the money raised will enable them to visit a minimum of 25 classrooms, schools that otherwise cannot afford a Karma Dogs Safety and Oath of Kindness visit.

More about our 2009 beneficiaries - Arden’s Arc is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless, neglected, or otherwise abused dogs and cats and placing them in loving forever homes.  In 2008, they expanded their mission to include reducing the feral cat population.  Arden’s Arc also actively educates the public about humane animal treatment and the importance of preventative medical care, spay/neuter and pets wearing proper identification (www.ArdensArc.petfinder.com).

Karma Dogs (recently in the news) is a non-profit organization that just launched a new program called The Oath of Kindness.  This program was developed in response to the recent violence against animals in Baltimore.  The idea is simple.  Children take an Oath of Kindness with a Karma Dog, where they promise to be kind, tell their friends to be kind and tell an adult if someone isn’t treating an animal properly (www.karmadogs.org).
