By "paws-ing" with us, you're not just participating in a fun-filled event, you're making a tangible difference in the lives of homeless animals in our local community.
We have thousands of animals in our care each year. Last year, almost a third of those admitted were dogs.
On average, it costs $65 avg a day to support one dog in our shelter and to cover the cost of essentials. That’s $2000 avg a month the Geelong Animal Welfare Society needs to cover expenses and provide care for just one dog. If you raised approximately $6000, you would be providing funds to shelter three dogs for a month, including food, veterinary care, vaccinations, flea and worm treatment, de-sexing, rehabilitation, a possible foster care stay, enrichment and anything else they need during their stay.
We are a not for profit organization who relies on the generous donations and fundraising from our community, so every contribution through PAWS for GAWS, no matter how big or small, makes a huge difference.
