PAWS (Pet Assistance and Wellness for Seniors) was established to help area seniors feed and care for their pets. Seniors on a fixed income often go without to care for their pets - even sharing their meals with them. PAWS is a collaborative effort by Active Aging, Inc. of Meadville (AAI), and Bright Futures Farm equine charity (BFF) of Cochranton. PAWS provides pet food, flea & tick control, vaccine subsidies and assistance with veterinary care for area seniors who are enrolled in specific programs through Active Aging of Meadville.

Pets make a big difference in our lives and so can you!  The immense joy, comfort and love that our 4-legged family members provide us on a daily basis is immeasurable.  For a homebound older person, it can literally mean the difference between living life and simply existing.   As we all know, most pet owners will do anything to tend to their pets’ needs, including sharing their meals with their pets.  

By making a donation now, you will make it possible for us to continue to provide nutritious pet food.  You will be ensuring that both the pet and their senior owner are receiving the nutrition that they both need.  You will be making a big difference in the lives of those who need your generosity.

Thank you for your contribution!
