FINANCIAL SUPPORT GRANTED
Our annual fundraiser, and the primary source of donations for the year was Paws for a Cause, an Evening in the Emerald City, scheduled for May 9th. As with so many others, the Pandemic forced us to cancel. We wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to sponsors of the gala who have stood by us during this difficult time. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.
ABOUT MAX'S HELPING PAWS
Max’s Helping Paws was created in memory of Maximillian, aka “Noodle,” “Fancypants,” & “Moosh.“ While grieving the loss of our 14 year old MinPin Max after battles with diabetes and kidney cancer, we knew we needed to do something meaningful, and honor Max in a way that would help us heal while helping others. Max’s Helping Paws was created to be a financial lifeline for responsible Monterey County families in need with a pet in a health crisis and has approved more than $200,000 in financial assistance to provide treatments to save, optimize or extend the lives of nearly 250 local pets.
