Giving Back

I believe we all need to give back to the community in which we live and work. That is why I donate a portion of all my proceeds to local animal welfare organizations. In addition, I have created a website dedicated to local animal organizations, events and services at:
Here are a few organizations that I support.

Local Animal Events:

Here are some local animal events around our area. Look for my booth at the PAWSwalk and feel free to stop by and say hello!

PAWSwalk Date:   Sat., Sept. 10, 2005 Time:   8am to 1pm Where: Sand Point                Magnuson Park

On September 10, 2005 in Seattle's beautiful Sand Point Magnuson Park, a colossal event will take place…the 14th annual PAWSwalk presented by 98.9 Smooth Jazz KWJZ. Join thousands of people with hearts and soles and raise big bucks to support the programs and services at PAWS. This is the biggest PAWS event of the year and you don't want to miss out!

You choose the course, a 5K walk or a one-mile stroll with or without a dog. And you don't have to have a canine best friend to pull you along. Walk in honor of your cat, horse, rabbit or perhaps a wild animal - all creatures great and small have our love and admiration at PAWSwalk. Enjoy great conversation and beverages for you and your dog along the route. Walk as an individual, gather together a team or bring your family, the more the merrier at PAWswalk. Afterward, enjoy browsing the vendors, having refreshments, and the unique entertainment you can only see at PAWSwalk.
