The 20th Annual Paws for a Cause Charity Night & Silent Auction will be held on Thursday, October 16, 2025, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Blue Pit BBQ. This event will benefit Reed’s Rescue and Furry Friends Network.
Reed’s Rescue provides support to the community by rescuing senior-aged or terminally ill dogs from local animal shelters or those given up by their former owners, and when appropriate, helping to rehome them in loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. Reed’s Rescue covers all necessary veterinary care, training, and treatments as needed and placement in nurturing foster homes until a more permanent home is found.
Paws for a Cause also gives back annually to the Hope Fund of Furry Friends Network, Inc. as a token of appreciation for bringing Fenway into the lives of founders Woody and Heidi Derricks. If it wasn’t for their experience with Furry Friends Network, Paws for a Cause wouldn’t exist.
The Hope Fund is used to help cover the costs of treating animals with severe injuries, illness, and/or in need of major surgeries.
We look forward to seeing you at this year’s event.
- Woody & Heidi Derricks

As we all know, companion animals are still being turned over to shelters and rescue groups at alarming rates. We also know that rescue organizations rely heavily on the support and monetary donations of the community. We want to help! Each year, we hold a fundraiser to benefit one or two local animal welfare groups. No animal welfare group is too small to apply! Over the past 19 years, we’ve raised more than $125,000!
Our approach to the event is to find projects that local animal organizations need funded. We believe that having a monetary goal tied to a specific project helps loosen the wallets of those in attendance. For those interested, please download the application form, and email it to us at [email protected].
In return, we ask that the group(s) selected help raise awareness of our event within their network of supporters and that they send a representative to the event. We will notify the group(s) if we are in need of a volunteer or two to assist before or during the event.
