Gathering to Support Animal Welfare in Montgomery County

Nyke and Milo ride in the arms of Louie Sweetenberg, chatting with Cassandra Overking at the MCPAW gala at the William F. Bolger Center in Potomac. All of the dogs in attendance were beautifully turned out and brought even more joy to the occasion.

Attendees at the 2nd Annual MCPAW Party on Saturday, Oct. 13 reveled in the Great Gatsby theme, raising money for animal welfare.

MCPAW (Montgomery County Partners for Animal Well-Being) is the non-profit partner of the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center (MCASAC). It works through MCASAC to keep homeless pets healthy and happy while awaiting adoption.

MCPAW goals are:

  • Reduce the number of animals that come to MCASAC

  • Pamper, protect and provide for animals inside MCASAC

  • Educate and engage the community in causes for animal welfare
