    400 Paws also awarded Happy Tails Retriever Rescue a $4200 grant. Hopefully , we will be able to award more money to other organizations next year. Great first year to 400 Paws.

    Thank you 400 PAWS for your generous donation to Panhandle Equine Rescue. Unlike some of our government spending that donation will not be wasted and will be well spent. Bless you for the work that both organizations perform for the need of animals.
