“Each year, I am inspired and impressed by the fun, creative ways our wine country businesses show up to support Wine 4 Paws. This year is no different. I can’t wait for local wine enthusiasts and pet-lovers to enjoy all that they have in store, for a great cause!” said Wine 4 Paws organizer Sarah Tomasetti.
Woods Humane Society CEO Emily L’Heureux said the fundraiser comes at a key time during the shelter’s busy baby season. “Wine 4 Paws participants will directly support medical treatments, fostering, and hands-on care for vulnerable puppies and kittens this season. We encourage all animal lovers to check out the map and enjoy wine country in the name of pets in need,” L’Heureux said.
Woods Humane Society is located at 875 Oklahoma Ave. in San Luis Obispo and at 2300 Ramona Rd. in Atascadero. The facilities are open daily from 12-5 p.m., with adoption hours from 12-4 p.m. More information is available at www.woodshumane.org or by calling (805) 543-9316.
