A huge thank you to Gatorz Bar and Grill for their "Hearts for Pets" Black Jack Run held on Saturday, February 11th. This event involved a run from Gatorz of Port Charlotte to Gatorz of Marinatown and back! A check for $600 was presented to the AWL for all their efforts. The entire staff and of course all the furry residents of the shelter appreciate their generosity.

02/11/12 - "Paws in the Park at Riverside RV"

A tail waggin' thank you to the fine folks at the Riverside RV Resort & Campground located in Arcadia. Their "Paws in the Park" event raised $1,167.00 to benefit our homeless dogs and cats. Numerous activities and raffles made this a fun-filled afternoon. It was especially great to meet all the furry canines that call Riverside "home." A special thank you to Kajhilda and her hard working committee that made the event a huge success.

12/11 - "Parrotheads Party for the AWL"

Thank you to the Charlotte Harbor Parrotheads Club for hosting a party honoring the Animal Welfare League. Everyone who attended was asked to bring an item to donate to the AWL.
