Cause for Paws Dinner/Dance

The Marquette County Humane Society hosted its annual Cause For Paws Dinner Dance at Upfront & Company on Friday, April 9, 2010. The Event was a GRAND success! Much fun was had by everyone – all for the love of our homeless pets. All proceeds from the event will help the almost 1,800 animals care for each year at the MCHS.

Thank You very much to everyone who attended, donated to and supported our event! We are so grateful to our caring community! Thank You from all of us at MCHS...especially from the shelter pets!
