Paws, Claws & Corks
Paws, Claws & Corks is going virtual!
On Wednesday, April 8th, Humane Society of West Michigan will be hosting our eighth annual Paws, Claws & Corks event with a twist - due to the COVID-19 virus and restrictions in place, the event will take place fully online!
Although we would love to celebrate with you in person, we have made this difficult decision in order to keep our guests and staff safe, continue to care for the animals in our community, and celebrate the incredible businesses and individuals who make that possible. Please plan to join us - virtually - for this extremely important event.
The program will be broadcast on the HSWM Facebook page on 4/8/2020 beginning at 7:00pm, but you can check out the auction items and even start bidding on the packages now!
