Kingsway P.A.W.S. Mobilize Student Volunteers To Help Sick Dogs With Donations

WOOLWICH TWP. — Kingsway Regional High School’s student organized P.A.W.S. Club held an emergency meeting after having been alerted that about 20 dogs were rescued by officials from a Pitman home recently.

The dogs lived in deplorable conditions, covered in feces and urine matted in their fur, and remain in the care of the Salem County Humane Society. The dogs are receiving medical evaluations, grooming and bathing.

Student members of the P.A.W.S. Club are collecting newspapers to assist the Salem County Humane Society line dog cages. Posters now line the halls of the high school, alerting the student body to the situation, and to promote their donations drive.

“This is what our group is all about. It’s incredible to see our kids so motivated and care so much about the welfare of animals. I’m just so proud of them. And the outpouring from staff has been overwhelming. I’m so touched,” said P.A.W.S. Co-Advisor Lisa Camp.

The P.A.W.S. Club, which stands for Promoting Animal Welfare and Safety, is also using proceeds from previous fundraisers to make a donation to help these sickly dogs. Moreover, P.A.W.S. will be making bracelets to sell in April for Animal Cruelty Awareness Month.
