This year we aim to raise $200,000! This money will help PAWS:

1. Expand services to more eligible clients in 2007.

2. Increase outreach and education to medical, veterinary and social service providers regarding the benefits of the human-animal bond and the role PAWS plays in providing necessary support for persons with AIDS and other debilitating illnesses who have companion animals.

3. Launch our Senior Program! This new program assists low-income senior citizens care for their companion animals.
