Grateful Paws is a 501(c)(3) non-profit no-kill dog and rescue organization serving South Florida. Workers for Grateful Paws are all-volunteer who have their own day jobs, and come together out of love and concern for neglected animals. Grateful Paws depends on foster families for rescued animals until each animal can find their “forever family.” The bulk of the outreach and work done at Grateful Paws is done nightly and on the weekends, since nearly every person involved works elsewhere during the day. Jan Milbyer founded Grateful Paws in 2006 and still serves as its president. She works for Waste Management and has been named the American Businesswomen’s Association South Broward Chapter Leader of the Year, as well as Non-Profit Volunteer of the Year from Waste Management. To view the animals available for adoption, or to donate directly to Grateful Paws, visit gratefulpaws.org.
Sponsors of the benefit for Grateful Paws include Alibi Wilton Manors, City County Credit Union, Wolfe Real Estate Group, Fort Lauderdale Homes and Rentals, and Fast Printz.
