“A Charmed Life”

Our generous friends at DARREN MCCLUNG PRECIOUS JEWELRY partnered with two of their top designers to highlight or to create adorable animal specialty charms for PAHS. Highlighted is Designer Pedro Boregaard’s18kt gold bone shaped pet charm (also available in silver) which is hand textured and accented with full round brilliant cut diamonds, and it is available for sale now. Created especially for PAHS, Designer Laurie Sinclair’s assorted silver animal charms even include a “Palo Alto Humane Society” banner and are not to be missed. Sales of these charms will earn PAHS a whopping 40% of the proceeds on an ongoing basis. Thank you, Carol and Darren!

Give Compassion

WHETHER A BIRTHDAY OR A BAH MITZVAH OR ANYTHING INBETWEEN, gifts celebrate special people and unique occasions. Instead of asking for traditional gifts, PAHS asks you to consider becoming a Certified Humane Ambassador like our friend Elise Most. In lieu of more stuff, consider asking friends and family for financial donations that you will donate to PAHS, and be secure in the knowledge that your contributions will directly impact and create positive change for animals in our community.
