We wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year! We’ve had a quiet New Year’s Day (after a New Year’s Eve with way, way too many fireworks in the area for Irie’s tastes). after a long (chilly!) hike this morning, we’ve been at work on plans for this year for DogTipper, CatTipper and PawZaar.
We also wanted to take a look back at the great things that have come about thanks to YOU this past year when our PawZaar gift store:
funded TWO one-year elementary school scholarships for Guatemalan students, the children of the artists who make our Guatemalan bags, children’s toys and cat toys.- contributed to over two dozen shelters and rescues thanks to 10 percent of every purchase going to help our featured shelters.
- helped provide employment to women in India rescued from trafficking situations in the city of Kolkata, India. Those women are now employed by a fair trade cooperative that we’ve partnered with to create our RESCUE Tote Bags.
- sponsored a holiday cat kennel at Texas Humane Heroes.
- took part in the Presents for Paws toy and treat drive to provide joy to the homeless pets of Detroit.
- helped the pets of Austin, the country’s largest no-kill city, during our participation in Love Your Rescue Pet Day 2015.
It was a great 2015–and we’re looking forward to making 2016 even better!!
