Central Paws

This year for Central Paws was rough, but we learned, adapted and made the most out of every situation! To end the semester we hosted a puppy social to meet with our members and take a break from our studies. It was a great time and it was so good to see everyone🐶🐱🐾 We will see you all in the fall and have a great summer!☀️☀️

*Masks and social distancing were applied during this event, just not the pictures.*

It’s the last day to send in your pet photos for the Cutest Pet Contest!! We want to see your pets!!
Limit one photo per pet for each member!

We can’t wait to see all the cute animals.

The first meeting of the spring semester will be held via webex on Thursday, January 28 at 7pm! We will introduce our eboard, talk about the semester schedule, and give information regarding volunteering!

Looking for a new best friend? Bissell Pet Foundations are having a empty the shelter event from October 1-4. For just $25 take home your new best friend who is spayed, neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations.
If you are interested, applications are due by 4pm on September 30th. Check out bissellpetfoundation.org/ets for more information.

Pet fees are an important payment that ensure your new friend is taken care of! In this chart, we break down what your cat's adoption fee covers and how much you can save by adopting at a shelter. The excitement of a new pet is real, but the cost associated with keeping them happy and healthy is too!

Take a break with therapy dogs at the Counseling Center's 'Pause for Paws' Students are welcome to stay as long as they’d like, even if it’s only for ten minutes or for the full hour-and-a-half. Bigard said students should not feel awkward coming in alone.
