A Cause for Paws Dog Wash a Success!

A Cause for Paws organizers Justin Klucher, Maha Madani and Madison Foster helped the Pulaski County Humane Society make their dog wash a success on Saturday, June 26, at the First Methodist Church in North Little Rock. The five hour event netted more than $1000 for the organization.

The Council members donated $200, pet toys, cat litter, towels and blankets, chewies, and shampoo.

The three members have collected $180 for CARE for Animals at the Paws on the Pavement event in May, collected $200 for cancer research for animals, and have received over $300 in donations for spaying and neutering.

Dog washes will be held again the 4th Saturday of July and August from 9:00 to 2:00. A donation of $15 will get your dog squeeky clean!

Pictured with the members and their donation is Sandra Jackson of the Humane Society.
