The Oakville & Milton Humane Society (OMHS) rescued 540 dogs last year -- 523 were adopted and the remainder returned to their owners. Brenda Dushko of the OMHS, credits the Cause for Paws Martini Party and Auction. "There are literally hundreds and hundreds of homeless dogs that are in `forever' homes today because of the Cause for Paws," she said. The 13th edition of the event is Thursday (June 26) at Appleby College, 540 Lakeshore Rd. W. "The money they raised allows us to have two full-time dog trainers on staff, so we can work with dogs other shelters would not be able to work with -- dogs that are very timid and shy, some that would have behaviour issues that would not make them as adoptable," she said. Cause for Paws saves dogs' lives 7 | Wednesday, June 25, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Last year, 350 attendees raised approximately $110,000. Not bad for an event that began as a house party at the home of one of the Cause for Paws founders, Beverlie Rockliffe. She has donated $10,000 and challenges others to contribute. Also benefitting from the annual fundraiser is OMHS' Pay the Spay program, which makes sure all animals up for adoption at the shelter are spayed or neutered. Tickets to the adult-only, 7-11 p.m. event cost $40 -- visit www.omhs.ca or www. CauseforPawsOakville.com. There will be food sampling, performances by Latin guitarist Johannes Linstead and violinist Grenville Pinto. For auction will be a home gourmet dinner for 10 by celebrity chef David Adjey.
