Cause for Paws raises $42,451 By Wilma Blokhuis OAKVILLE LIVING EDITOR Thanks to a group of local dog lovers, the Oakville and District Humane Society will be hiring a trainer for dogs waiting for adoption at the shelter. Oakville's R-Dog Post Park Leash Free volunteers have raised $42,451 from its 5th annual Cause for Paws fundraiser hosted by Wayne and Beverlie Rockliffe, attended by some 400 people in June. Over the five years, Cause for Paws has raised more than $100,000 for the humane society. "We'll be designing a new enhanced dog-training program where our staff will be better trained and be able to spend more one-to-one time with the dogs," said Johanne Golder, executive director of the Oakville and District Humane Society. "The biggest thing you can give an animal is your time." Currently, the humane society assesses the dogs physically and behaviourally and provides as much training as possible through its volunteer dogwalking program. "Most of the dogs that come through the shelter have little training, are poorly socialized and have developed behavioural issues," said Golder, adding many are strays. "A lot of the strays that come here have had bad experiences and we have to build their trust.
