“We’re thrilled to see new businesses and fun new events and options being added to the line-up each day,” says Wine 4 Paws organizer Sarah Tomasetti. “I can already tell 2024 is going to be a fantastic year for Wine 4 Paws and for the dogs and cats this event supports.”
Woods Humane Society CEO Emily L’Heureux notes that the Wine 4 Paws event comes at a crucial time of the year when puppies and kittens are being born and the shelter begins to be inundated with pets in need of food, medical care, foster care, and adoption services. “The donations that come in from Wine 4 Paws participants will go directly toward vital surgeries, treatments, and hands-on care that help the most vulnerable puppies, kittens, dogs and cats find health, hope and loving families.”
