PAWS FOR A CAUSE 2009

28 January 2009

The countdown has begun to Paws For A Cause Day on February 27th and the RSPCA is urging Western Australian’s to get stuck in this year by hosting their very own fundraising event over the next four weeks.

Paws For A Cause is all about individuals, groups and businesses using their own ideas to raise money for the animals we protect and re-home and the event has quickly become RSPCA Western Australia's biggest fundraising appeal.

Every cent raised goes towards helping the animals and this year - for the first time - we'll be using Facebook to show off the fundraising initiatives people all over WA will be coming up with.

Rescuing animals from abuse and neglect, prosecuting cruel owners, caring for unwanted pets and finding them new homes – it all comes at a cost of almost $5 million every year. As a charity finding that money every year is a massive challenge and we rely almost entirely on the generosity of Western Australians to fund these programs.

So what's it all about?

Now in its fifth year, Paws for a Cause is unique to Western Australia and was conceived to raise money for animals who obviously cannot protect themselves. They need the RSPCA to continue its work protecting, housing and healing animals in need.

Now, every February in WA sees people, groups and businesses getting involved with Paws for a Cause. Everyone works hard to raise vital funds by registering on our fabulous Paws For A Cause Website to run an event for the animals.
