Early Giving Begins April 18th!

Big Day of Giving starts at midnight on Thursday, May 2, 2024, and runs for 24 hours. Early giving begins on April 18th.

Our #BDOG2024 goal is to raise $75,000+ for the wild animals living at PAWS’ 2,300-acre ARK 2000 sanctuary – where elephants roam expansive natural habitats, tigers prowl through tall grass, and bears collect acorns fallen from broad oak trees.

Because of many generous friends, your gift to PAWS will be matched (doubled) up to $23,500. Click here to give. Thank you!
