Saturday, November 25th, 2023 ![]() We are in year 22! Who could believe that this would be the 23rd Annual Dog Walk and that the little organization that "Lucky" and I founded years ago would boast almost 45 volunteer teams and have such an incredible presence in the Coachella Valley? Our Canine Ambassadors visit facilities from The Comprehensive Cancer Center at Desert Regional Medical Center in north Palm Springs, all the way down valley to Indio Nursing and Rehabilitation. It seems like only yesterday that "Lucky" and I made our first visit with Uncle Phillip helping out. Much has changed over the years, and we've developed an enviable reputation in town as a well run, reliable non-profit. We probably have the best volunteer pool of any agency in town, and while donations are down everywhere, our core donors are still supporting us. So please bring along those Zip-lock bags of loose change you have been saving all year and come out to our 23rd Annual Dog Walk and lend your support. ![]() ![]()

Therapy was one of the 100 Vendors and always get dressed in costume for the spirit of Halloween.
In 2015 Richard was dressed as a Veterinarian, and Jill as the nurse, and we had administered attention
to a table full of stuffed dogs and cats!
Richard and Jill, in 2014, dressed as Firemen, (and would you believe
that visitors to the table actually believed they were real
firemen!)
In 2013 Richard and Jill were dressed ![]() April 2016 It has just been announced that as of June 30th the Cinemas Palme D'or, who for many years hosted our "Take Your Dog to the Movies" will be closing.
At "Paws & Hearts" we are quite sad to see this venue leave the valley because one of the owners, Brian Tabor, has always been so supportive of our non profit. Brian, my board of directors and I really want to thank you for hosting all of those fund-raisers for us. Your generosity helped our bottom line, and it was a great way to get our name out there, and attract new volunteers and donors. Best of luck to you! Richard Waxman For information on these events call the "Paws & Hearts" office: (760) 836-1406 Remember, volunteer or an animal lover, you are always invited to our events & community support helps to make our program grow like the annual dog walk fund-raiser parade volunteer/community events. |
