!!!Charlotte County!!! As many know so many Animal Shelters throughout the nation are inundated with Adoptable Dogs and Cats. We are no different and could use the support of our community ♥️🐾

Where would this world be without the daily joy that animals bring into our lives? Animals offer us constant laughter, a reason for getting up, the motivation to take a daily walk, a best friend to sit in a park with, protection, love, and so much more. Every animals eyes see the best in YOU, even when you may not. It is crucial that we GIVE the BEST lives to them.

We’re asking you to be apart of creating a wonderful sanctuary for our beloved animals! Support our future plans of making Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County the very best that it can be.

Starting by having fun with us all at our Paws for a Cause event! Build a Co****le team, shop from our local vendors, bring your pets for caricature art and photo booth laughs. Most importantly get informed of our future wants and needs. We’re looking for Sponsors from Businesses and Individuals who are looking for an awesome shoutout on our marketing materials and merch, plus great community engagement. If a business doesn’t love animals, then can we really trust that business?! 😉 I think not…so bring it on you cool cats and kittens, it’s go time!! 🐱 🐶
