Pawsitive Thinking

Would you rather be lucky or good? With Paw Draw, you have a chance to be both.

Save the Animals Foundation (STAF) is holding its biggest raffle of the year, Paw Draw, right now, continuing through August 31. Raffle tickets are available at www.STAF.org.

The “chairpets” for 2021 STAF Paw Draw are Noelle and Garfield, both at STAF, waiting for their forever homes.

Noelle

About: She loves toys, long walks by the lake, cuddles and her training at MaxPack. She is beautiful and her fur is the softest!

Garfield

About: He is very friendly and vocal. When the cat volunteer asked if he liked his food and wanted more, he meowed back at her right away. He was moved recently to a room and is much happier roaming and being with the other cats. His eyes are even more striking in person!

“STAF is unique organization that relies upon dedicated volunteers to maintain the best care for our dogs and cats,” says Kara Markham, a volunteer and member of the Board of Directors.

STAF is a volunteer run, nonprofit shelter and adoption center for dogs and cats in the greater Cincinnati area. For over 28 years STAF has been giving dogs and cats the best day, every day, while working to match them with their forever families. 365 days a year, volunteers run two shifts to feed, play, brush, walk, run and love the animals at the shelter.

“All STAF funding comes from donations, grants, and fundraising events,” says Markham. “STAF Paw Draw is one of our biggest fundraisers each year.

Three monetary prizes will be awarded:

1st: $2,000

2nd: $1,000

3rd: $500

“With the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to hold in-person fundraising events, funds raised through the Paw Draw this year are especially needed to allow STAF to continue fulfilling our mission of animal rescue and care,” says Markham.
