The owner of Carolina Bauernhaus Brewery is now doing some Pro-Am brewing, where home brewers can come in and brew at their facility and part of the proceeds from the sales will go to the brewer’s “charity/cause” of choice.  PAWS was chosen by local homebrewers, The Ramsey’s, as their charity of choice for donations.
Greenwood Humane Society did a site visit to learn our procedures and protocols so that they can implement the same lifesaving programs in their new facility which is currently under construction.
PAWS received $1015.00 in cash donations and Lidl Grocery donated over 1,200 lbs of dog food.
