Fund-Raising Begins!


We have begun the exciting task of fund-raising for 4 Paws. The way it works is we work as volunteers to fund-raise the designated amount for 4 Paws that qualifies us for a dog to be placed with us. The total we raise for 4 Paws is $13,000. All donations made to 4 Paws are tax deductible charitable contributions, and you will receive a receipt from them in the mail for your records.


If you want to make a donation in Dallon's name to 4 Paws, click on the form in this post and print it (make sure to preview before you print so you can adjust it to fit on one page), write a check to 4 Paws with "In honor of Dallon Arvidson" in the memo line, and mail it to:
4 Paws for Ability
253 Dayton Ave
Xenia, OH 45385


If you have any suggestions of donation opportunities for us, please let us know! We are open for suggestions. Just please remember that the initial fund-raising effort is for 4 Paws and not for Dallon individually. After we have raised the amount for 4 Paws, we will be doing additional fund raisers for our traveling expenses (flights and a 2 week stay in Ohio) and if anyone wants to contribute more than that, they can donate gift cards to Petsmart (we have one nearby) for food and other supplies for the dog (like a crate, leashes, toys, bowls, brushes, etc). Anything in excess that we raise for our other fund-raising efforts we will donate to 4 Paws for another deserving family! We have a press release available we will be sending to local newspapers. We'll keep everyone informed about our fund-raising efforts as we go! THANKS
