New to our event? Here is what a few of our past participants said:
“I've attended the Paws in the park every year and thoroughly enjoy it. I like walking through the lights with my family and our furbabies and getting to dress them up in the holiday spirit. It's just a fun event that I have always had a good time at. Most importantly, I love the fact that it goes towards the humane society to help other furbabies out!” – 2016 Attendee 


“We like everything about it! All dogs were very well behaved, the walk was perfect and the lights magical! Wrapped up the evening with excellent food from the food trucks!" – 2015 Attendee

    WHY IT MATTERS:

    HSDC (Humane Society of Davie County) is changing to help save more pets! In March of 2017, HSDC sold the 291 Eaton Road adoption building to the county to become the new Davie County Animal Services shelter. HSDC staff remains in the building to market and adopt out Davie County Animal Services homeless pets to area adopters and rescue groups, and manages semi-monthly low-cost Spay/Neuter clinics. The  spay/neuter clinics are the best way to help reduce the unwanted pet population in Davie County. The youth and adult volunteer program will stay at the 291 Eaton Road property to help socialize adoptable pets. To increase the number of lives saved, HSDC has started a dog transport partnership with the Pennsylvania SPCA of Philadelphia. North Carolina has an overabundance of homeless pets and Philly is in need of adoptable dogs. HSDC pulls the transport candidates from euthanasia shelters, vets them, and transports a group of 16 dogs once a month up north to be adopted into loving homes. HSDC is currently working on setting up a homeless cat transport as well. 

    All of these initiatives will save more lives but they take time and require funding from generous people like you. Please help!

    Thank you for being our Partners 4 Paws!
