This year we continued our tradition of helping out our furry friends with the 5th annual “Pawlidays” holiday program. This year, 34 businesses in Rhode Island participated in the “Pawlidays” Drive. Together, we were able to raise enough donations to help 16 different animal shelters throughout Rhode Island. Wave and its members were able to sponsor a total of 20 animals, 15 dogs, and 5 cats, donating over 50 items to our RI animal rescue shelters.

Wave FCU attended the ‘Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ 20^th Annual “Paws in the Park” dog walk in September. Wave was a proud “Best Friend” sponsor for the second year and raffled off an amazing basket filled with goodies from local small businesses that included gift cards, dog toys, treats, paw balm, and more. The raffle winner also received a free voucher to attend our next community event, a “Hocus Pawcus” themed photoshoot in October.   

It turned out to be a great day filled with pet games and activities, local vendors for people and pets, and tasty treats. All funds raised help support the RI SPCA’s many community programs and services, including adoption, humane education, and high-quality veterinary care for all who need it, including moderate and lower-income families.
