Here's a quick look at what we've been up to here at the shelter as well as a sneak peek at what we are working on for 2024 and beyond.

We recently celebrated 1 year of the return of the beloved Freedom Tails program, which pairs a duo of incarcerated individuals up with a PAWS of Grays Harbor pooch for a 12-week board and train program. To celebrate, we've DOUBLED the program from 8 dogs to 16 dogs! This group of dogs graduated on July 3 and the next round is set for August 8 - October 31. Find out more at pawsgh.org/FreedomTails.

One of our long-term goals has been to build a humane education program. With such a small staff, it can be difficult to find time to dedicate to creating a program, but we have a lot of ideas that we hope to grow into a program. This year, we started collaborating with Stevens Elementary through their “Husky Dig” classes, where students have an opportunity to focus on a special interest. Our January-March PAWS-focused class culminated recently with a hands-on tour and a new group of students began this journey with us in April. We are also collaborating with the Aberdeen Library to create reading-themed opportunities for youth both inside our shelter and in the community. We will be doing some minor renovations in our buildings this year to accommodate student readers.

Upcoming events include a Pup Crawl event on August 24th in downtown Aberdeen at multiple locations. Additionally, we are planning our annual auction event for September/October.

Once again, thank you for your donation and support!

For the animals,
