Canine Company supports Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS) in 'Making a Difference'

At 6PM on March 9, 2013, Canine Company will sponsor the Sixth Annual DAWS (http://www.daws.org ) Making a Difference Ball at the Ethan Allen Hotel in Danbury, CT to benefit the Danbury Animal Welfare Society, Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in the greater Danbury community and beyond. The Making a Difference Ball is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser, attended by over 300 people and supported by hundreds of others. The event will feature silent and live auctions, plentiful food and drink, and live musical entertainment.

In 2012, DAWS provided medical care to over 1,200 animals and helped over 730 dogs and cats find their forever homes.  "This year DAWS hopes to raise funds to further expand the shelter and clinic to provide more life-saving care to our most vulnerable dogs and cats in the community. This fundraiser is indispensable in helping us accomplish our goals,” said Christopher Rohland, President, DAWS Board of Directors. DAWS promotes responsible pet guardianship and the humane treatment of animals. They work toward ending animal overpopulation through education and a variety of programs. The staff and volunteers of DAWS take pride in working to keep homeless pets sheltered, safe, and happy.
