PAWS Newsletter

September 4, 2025

We had a few days that actually felt like Fall last week and we will cover information on how to prepare your pets for cooler weather next month. August was a slow month for adoptions as well as transfers to other Rescue Facilities. We had 12 adoptions in August and 30 animals were transported. We continue to be over-crowded with animals being housed in the hallway, a bathroom, the conference room, or Faustina’s office. These are usually temporary situations, but the shelter is full!

On a positive note, we had our Bark & Splash on September 2nd, the day after Labor Day. What a fun time we had! Our very favorite event of the year and the City of Pampa is very gracious to open the pool to PAWS on this day each year. The Water Park was drained on September 3rd. THANK YOU PAMPA for allowing this special event to be held each year. We had 56 dogs and 87 people. It was so much fun. The weather was wonderful as well. Fletcher Bros food truck was parked in the parking lot with delicious hamburgers and refreshing drinks.

We have lots of things going on right now and we will do our best to keep you informed. We are rebuilding our website and hopefully that will help. We are wanting to re-build our e-mail list so we can send the newsletter directly to you each month. We are also planning to have Volunteer Meetings and will keep you posted on that. 

Shirts are available for purchase at C&A Custom Stitching Embroidery. Thank you, April, for putting this together to benefit PAWS. We appreciate your support!
