There are several options to make a meaningful donation to PAWS in honor or memory of a special pet or person.
Monetary Donation
Amount: No amount is too small!
Making a monetary donation to one of our special funds or our general fund, is a perfect way to show someone you are thinking of them. PAWS will send a personalized card to honor an extraordinary pet or person or express your condolences on the loss of a beloved animal or animal lover.
Memorial Patio Brick

Overlooking Happy Valley and providing stunning sunset views, our brick Memorial Patio is the perfect location to memorialize an important animal, individual, or group. The purchase of an engraved brick not only raises funds for animals in need, but also creates a beautiful lasting tribute. Please note that our order period for the Spring 2022 installation has passed. We are currently accepting brick orders for our Spring 2023 installation.
Memorial Bench

Benches are located across PAWS' 11 acre property. They serve as resting spots for our many dog walkers, visitors, and adopters. By purchasing a bench, you provide a spot for PAWS pup to hop up and sit by a friend while memorializing a friend of your own.
Cat Cage
Amount: $5,000 Contact Christine Faust (chris@centrecountypaws.org) for more details
While our resident PAWS cats mostly live communally, all have an assigned cage for privacy, feeding, and quiet time. There are also cages for housing and showing all of our fostered cats and kittens spend time in a cage. You can name a cage as a special way to recognize a special cat or "cat person."
Play Yard Gazebo
Amount: $10,000 Contact Christine Faust (chris@centrecountypaws.org) for more details
The PAWS dogs romp and play, enjoying fresh air and sunshine throughout the day in our 3 play yards.
