Paws 4 You Celebrates 10 Years of Saving Lives, Plans for Future

South Florida’s premier, non-profit dog rescue and retreat, Paws 4 You, is celebrating during May, 10 years of saving more than 2,000 dogs.

The organization has grown from a committed small group of good Samaritans working together to prevent dogs from being euthanized, to the establishment of a comprehensive facility in southern Miami-Dade County that can house over 100 dogs, with an animal care staff and a team of dedicated volunteers working to find them forever homes.

In honor if its anniversary, Paws 4 You hosted a building dedication brunch for the organization’s longtime supporters and philanthropists, Greg Swienton, former Ryder CEO, and Jo Ann Swienton, without whom none of this would have been possible. Palmetto Bay Mayor Eugene Flinn and members of Paws 4 You’s board of directors Todd Kesterson, CPA, at Kaufman Rossin; Tim Robitaille, president, ColorPrintDirect.com; Carol Caridad, founder and executive director, Paws 4 You, and Gail Balnicki, co-founder, Paws 4 You also were on hand to mark the momentous occasion and commemorate the organization’s accomplishments, while setting forth new goals for the future.
