Expo for a CAWS (Community Animal Welfare Service) Day
Stay tuned for community service opportunities offered for Animal Care Expo 2026!
Animal Care Expo attendees had the opportunity to join the team at The Animal Foundation for our 2nd annual Expo for a CAWS (Community Animal Welfare Service) Day for a free microchipping/vaccine clinic and pet food/product distribution event for the local community.
Volunteers assisted with communication, line management, operating tag machines operators and food/product/distribution as well as helping in other areas on campus such as adoption folder preparation, enrichment, laundry and general kennel support. Our team of 50 Expo volunteers plus 30 staff and volunteers from The Animal Foundation helped to administer 821 vaccines, 243 microchips and distribute 150 complimentary vouchers to those we could not serve onsite, in addition to distributing 10 pallets of food.
CAWS Day was generously sponsored by Hill's Pet Nutrition with support from 24 Pet, VCA , Petco Love and Adopt a Pet.
