Muddy Paws Rescue Named a 2022 Classy Awards Finalist
We are excited to announce that Muddy Paws Rescue is a top 50 finalist for the 2022 Classy Awards!
Classy, an online fundraising software for nonprofits, launched the Classy Awards in 2009 to recognize the achievements of organizations bringing positive change in our communities and around the world. The goal is to shine a spotlight on their new strategies, creative thinking, and ideas that move the needle on some of the biggest issues our world faces today.
“Muddy Paws is proud to be recognized by Classy for being a leading force in foster-based rescue. Through our transport program, we provide support to areas of the country that face unprecedented amounts of pet homelessness by safely transporting animals into our care in NYC, as well as intake high-need dogs from NYC shelters. With Classy’s fundraising platform and support, we can continue to grow and save more animals in the years to come.”
