The community supported Rabun Paws 4 Life through adoption and fundraising events Saturday, June 3, as the adoption event at Sole Place Shoes & Western Wear in Clayton and the fundraiser at Universal Joint in Clayton raised $1,676.

Everett Lampros, public relations, volunteer and adoption coordinator, said both events were a success and Rabun Paws 4 Life is very grateful to everyone who showed support and donated. The following day of the Sole Place adoption event, “Vela” got adopted.

Sweet Charity had a sing-a-long and rock out event at Universal Joint and played Classic and Southern Rock; Country; Motown; and Funk Favorites from the 1960s-1990s. All proceeds raised were donated to Rabun Paws 4 Life. Paws 4 Life had a booth set up at Universal Joint handing out educational resources, and providing information about animals up for adoption and services Rabun Paws 4 Life offers. The mission of Rabun Paws 4 Life is “to make a positive difference in Rabun County by providing a no-kill animal control and shelter to care for and protect animals from abuse, neglect and abandonment.
