PAWS Animal Adoption Center in Camden invites the public to the 2023 Auction for the Animals online auction. The online auction opens on November 23rd at noon and runs through midnight on Dec. 4th with two hundred plus items to bid on.

PAWS helps hundreds of displaced dogs and cats, while also offering services to support families dealing with a crisis, such as short-term hospitalization, domestic violence, homelessness, and loss of income. As well as a veterinary clinic for low-income pet owners and pet owners who do not have an established veterinary relationship.

"Revenue from our events is incredibly important for us to be able to offer the array of essential services to our community that we do.” PAWS Executive Director, Shelly Butler noted. We will always be there for our community, but we can't do it without their support and the Auction for the Animals is a great way to give back.”

The Auction for the Animals online bidding starts at noon on Thanksgiving Day and runs through midnight on Dec. 4th. The auction offers hundreds of items from local businesses including items for both large and small budgets. Whether it is a 2-night stay in an Executive Suite overlooking the harbor that you are after or a gift card to your loved one’s favorite local store for their stocking, the PAWS online Auction for the Animals has something for everyone.

All net proceeds benefit our community of pet owners and pets in need at PAWS, providing food, shelter, community support services, adoption, and in many cases, life-saving veterinary care but most importantly, love and compassion.
