Pet Pawty Fundraiser For Injured Pets

North Syracuse, NY -- If a pet is found injured in the village of North Syracuse a new fund set up by the Greater North Syracuse Chamber of Commerce will help pay for the animal's veterinary care until its owner is located. The village budgets for animal control services but does not have the ability to pay for veterinary services. The Pet 911 fund will help pay for veterinary emergencies if an owner is not immediately located. "Hopefully we will never have to use the money, but it will be there if we need it," Roth said. "And hopefully when we find the owner they would reimburse us." All of the money in the fund will be donated or raised by the chamber of commerce. The first major fundraising event, Pet Pawty, will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at Heritage Park, off of Chestnut Street in North Syracuse. Pet Pawty will feature a day of food, music, demonstrations, raffles and more. There will be entertainment for the entire family and dogs are welcomed.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
