Pawtrero had a Grand Re-Opening party on Sunday, May 23rd to celebrate our new expansion and name change from South Paw to Pawtrero. Muttville was on hand for doggie adoptions and a great time was had by all who attended. Thanks to Pet Poses for providing these wonderful photos!!!

Muttville is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to improving the lives of senior dogs.

The Pawtrero family would like to thank all of our customers for their generous donations this holiday season. As you can see from the picture above we were able to get much needed money, food, treats and supplements for two incredible local charities, Muttville Senior Dog Rescue and Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue.

Pawtrero/South Paw Third Annual Halloween Party was a Huge Success!

The Pawtrero family would like to thank everyone involved with this year’s event. We had a lot of fun and raised over $2,300 for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue!

For those of you who couldn’t make the event this year here is the recap…

First it was exciting to see how fast this event has grown is such a short time. Our first year we started with only 15 dogs in costume, our second year the numbers grew to 70 dogs and this year we had over 200 dogs in costume. Someone asked us how we know we had 200 dogs and that was because we gave out over 200 gift bags with great treats from Primal, Small Batch, Ziwi Peak, Wet Noses, Bark Stix and Grandma Lucy’s.

We also had very generous donations from our local businesses Pet Poses Photography, Java House, Paragon, MoMo’s, Pete’s Tavern, Tres Agaves, The Brick House, The Bagel Bakery, Hennessey’s, High Tail Hotel, Towns End Restaurant, Body Mechanix, Access ATM Enterprise, Perbacco, The Bay Detail, Grasshopper Hair Salon and of course Pawtrero & South Paw.

Special thanks to Pet Poses Photography for donating their time and services. They set a very festive scene with a bale of hay and pumpkins and took over 100 free portraits for anyone who wanted a picture of their four-legged family member in costume.

The donations from these businesses helped us have a successful and fun raffle that raised over $2,300 for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. For those of you that may not be familiar with Muttville, they help older dogs find a loving home and make the last few years of their life enjoyable. To date, Sherri and the folks at Muttville have saved over 500 senior dogs. In talking with Sherri the day of the event she told us that she had rescued 4 senior dogs the previous Friday from Kern County. Two of the dogs were in bad shape and needed expensive surgery. Due to everyone’s participation at the event, both dogs were able to have their surgery the next day!

We hope everyone had a great time and hope to watch this event grow over the next several years!
