Cause for Paws is an event consisting of an online auction and culminating in an in-person happy hour at Columbus House Brewery and Tap Room in Fayetteville, AR. This event benefits Big Paws of the Ozarks and AESC Care's My Balto Fund, helping local animals receive the care and homes they deserve.

The holiday season is about giving — and this event brings our community together to give the greatest gift of all: hope for animals in need. Cause for Paws supports two incredible local organizations that dedicate their work to saving lives, each in their own vital way.

Big Paws of the Ozarks is a local animal rescue committed to saving, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs across Northwest Arkansas and beyond. They focus on pulling dogs from shelters and taking pets in from good samaritans, providing them with the care they need, and matching them with loving families. Big Paws is also passionate about animal welfare and works directly with the community and organizations through a variety of events and programs.
By supporting Big Paws, you’re helping animals who may have nowhere else to turn. You are ensuring they receive the love, care, and second chances they deserve. Visit their website here.

Animal Emergency and Specialty Center (AESC Cares) provides around-the-clock emergency and specialty care for pets across Northwest Arkansas. Through the My Balto Fund, AESC Cares helps cover the cost of life-saving treatments for families who otherwise couldn’t afford them.
Your participation in this event helps AESC Cares continue to provide emergency care and treatments to pets in crisis, keeping pets and their families together when they need help the most. Visit our website here.
