Paws on the Mountain Greyhound Rescue - Peter D
Thank you to Wilkins Subaru and Tamara Wilkins for their generous support of our organization. Due to the current restrictions we were only able to have 2 events during the month of October. As a result we depend on getting the word out into the community to attract potential adopters. Wilkins Subaru and Tamara Wilkins are a great help in this regard. For the last 3 years we received large money donations from National Subaru. We look forward to a continuing relationship with Wilkins Subaru in the future.

Paws on the Mountain Greyhound Rescue, Inc - Peter - Peter D
Paws on the Mountain is the new name for Greyhound Rescue, Inc. We have been participating with Wilkins Subaru in their Pet Adopt-a-Thon festival held for every year shortly after it began. We place retired racing greyhounds in their forever home. At these events Wilkins Subaru generously provided tables and chairs and plenty of space for these large dogs to set up inside the show room when it is hot outside. Wilkins Subaru went out of their way to make the dogs and owners comfortable. Wilkins Subaru contacts outside vendors to donate goods and each dog goes home with a bag of goodies. Wilkins Subaru successfully advertises in local newspapers and other media and attracted many people to come and visit the dogs. Over the years Paws on the Mountain got from 2 to 6 potential adopters at every event. Late last year Wilkins Subaru was a great help in obtaining from National Subaru a very generous money donation early this year which was greatly appreciated. This year the National Subaru promotion is with "Underdogs" or dogs with physical disabilities. Although the greyhounds are healthy we do get dogs that have been injured in the past. One such dog was "Caught Ya Lookin" who was heavily scarred om both sides of his body because he tried to escape and got caught in barbed wire. He is now happy and healthy. Other dogs just enjoy their new home such as "Rancho Blue Bayou" who likes to relax by burying himself in leave, We look forward to a continuing relationship with Wilkins Subaru and their generous support in the future.
Helping to make Summer Camp free for local youth - Jennifer L
Thanks to Wilkins Subaru, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County was able to offer a free seven week Summer Camp. Camp helped alleviate summer learning loss for youth and gave them access to mentors, life-changing programs, nutritious meals, field trips, and the chance to be kids again as we emerge from the pandemic. Boys & Girls Clubs play a powerful role in making summer a time for learning and developmental gains for youth, so providing camp for free this year was critical. We couldn't have done it without the ongoing support of Wilkins Subaru.

Paws on the Mountain Greyhound Rescue, Inc - Peter D
Paws on the Mountain is the new name for Greyhound Rescue, Inc. We have been participating with Wilkins Subaru in their Pet Adopt-a-Thon festival held for every year shortly after it began. Greyhounds are heat sensitive and require a temperature controlled environment if they are going to be at any event for a long period of time. Wilkins Subaru generously provided tables and chairs and plenty of space for these large dogs to set up inside the show room particularly when one year the outside temperature reached 100 deg. Wilkins Subaru went out of their way to make the dogs and owners comfortable. Wilkins Subaru contacted outside vendors to donate goods and each dog went home with a bag of goodies. The goal of these events is to spread the word about these wonderful dogs and get potential adopters to come in, meet the dogs and learn about them. Wilkins Subaru successfully advertised in local newspapers and other media and attracted many people to come and visit the dogs. Over the years Paws on the Mountain got from 2 to 6 potential adopters at every event. Because of Wilkins Subaru generosity the dogs were happy, well behaved and very glad to be there.
