T
he weather was just right for the Paws on Palafox Kick-Off PAWty held by the Pensacola Humane
Society at The Vineyard on 12th Avenue, April 11. Guests were invited to celebrate the start to Paws on
Palafox month with Pensacola Humane Society at the Vineyard. The Vineyard provided light appetizers
and a cash bar. This gathering invited dog lovers to bring their furry friends out for a day of socialization,
food, fun, and to spread the message about the work the clinic is doing in our community. This kick-off party was a
great chance to gather information on fundraising, meet other animal lovers, and win a door prize. All sponsors and
vendors were acknowledged, and information was available on the official Paws on Palafox event April 27. Attendees
were also able to register as individuals or a team. A very generous donation was presented to the Pensacola Humane
Society by Suzanne and James Robbins, and received by clinic members Joshua Carter and Jennifer Bitner. This
donation will aid in the care for the animals who currently reside at the clinic, as well as future surgeries and care.
The Pensacola Humane Society has performed over 20,000 surgeries since opening its doors in 2015, and 3,995
in 2018 alone. There have been over 450 animals housed, or adopted through the clinic, 403 surgeries performed
for other rescue organizations in the area, and 3,142 surgeries from across the panhandle including Alabama and
Mississippi.
