We Can Make a Difference
While there is no doubt that The Dog is one stylish party animal, he is also a dog with a heart of gold...

Since the inception of the Hair O' The Dog back in 1995, different area charities have received generous donations thanks to the help of our sponsors and attendees.

To date, over $100,000 has been distributed to organizations such as the Variety - The Children's Charity, CORA Services, Green Tree School, Sunshine Foundation, Bethesda Project, World Trade Center Relief Fund, Project H.O.M.E., Habitat for Humanity, the National Constitution Center, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Foundation, and the Friends of Memorial Hall Fund, Inc.

The designated charity for 2008 is PAWS: Philadelphia Animal Wefare Society.

PAWS is dedicated to promoting public welfare and to saving the lives of Philadelphia's homeless, abandoned and unwanted animals. Each year, nearly 30,000 homeless animals are killed in the City of Philadelphia simply because they are unloved or unwanted.

PAWS is committed to returning Philadelphia to a model of compassion by leading Philadelphia in becoming a "No Kill" city, in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.

This goal will be reached through aggressive, ever-expanding efforts to implement PAWS' core initiatives: comprehensive adoption programs, volunteer and foster programs, community spay and neuter programs, and shelter/rescue partner transfer programs.

If you would like to make a donation to PAWS, or would like more information, please contact PAWS directly for more information.
