It’s 2021, and everyone is looking toward a brighter year ahead.  April is time once again to enjoy the Central Coast while helping animals in need during the Annual Wine 4 Paws Weekend benefiting Woods Humane Society. Pick your option for support—ordering from home, or venturing out safely with a reservation and your mask.  Whether near or far, you can still participate!
Throughout the Pandemic, Woods Humane Society has been caring for homeless pets and finding them forever homes. At the same time, many programs remain postponed until further notice and most crucial fundraising events may not return this year.  Incoming funds for services are drastically reduced but expenses have not slowed down. That’s why the 2021 Wine 4 Paws weekend is more crucial than ever.
Wine 4 Paws Weekend can help ALL of us – we can support our businesses (and get out of the house or not) and enjoy some great Central Coast Offerings, and in return we’ll raise funds sorely needed at Woods. The wineries are now open for outdoor tastings by appointment! But if you don’t feel comfortable going out, you can participate in Wine 4 Paws from afar, just like last year – order online, by phone, or by email. Have it shipped with one of the many shipping deals that will be offered, or swing by the Tasting Room and take advantage of curbside pickup. Jeffry’s will be offering up their delicious BBQ, whether you want to take it home or enjoy it on their heated outdoor patio.
Last year’s event went virtual and was a huge success thanks to all our committed participants and longtime supporters. Everyone stepped up. We were able to help the homeless animals at Woods during one of their greatest times of need and enjoy quality Central Coast offerings.  
How can YOU participate in 2021? Visit www.wine4paws.com to see the more than 70 small businesses throughout SLO County that are donating a percent of sales to Woods Humane Society on April 10-11. Click on each winery’s logo and you’ll directed to their website where you can make a tasting reservation for that weekend. Book your reservation early because those spots fill up fast! Or, if you wish to stay close to home, you can do some pre-shopping and planning. When you buy wine April 10-11 a percent of your purchase will be donated to Woods!  Everyone will be offering GREAT shipping deals as well as specials, and if you’re a local you can even go out and do a “curbside pickup” if you like.
The list of participating wineries is long, in addition to an olive oil producer, and Jeffry’s Wine Country BBQ in Paso Robles. Visit  www.wine4paws.com to learn more. Your support is critical. By participating in Wine 4 Paws, you’ve done a good thing. You’re not only helping those animals, you are helping small businesses in this difficult time.

Woods Humane Society cares for over 3,000 cats and dogs each year at their facilities in San Luis Obispo and Atascadero until they can be united with loving families.  In November of 2018, they opened the first North County low-cost spay and neuter clinic at their location in Atascadero. This clinic can be utilized by ANY pet owner. During this time Woods continues to give the highest level of care, providing dogs and cats food, shelter, primary veterinary care, exercise, and enrichment. Many animals have been sent to foster and Woods continues to do appointment-based adoptions to fulfill their mission. For Woods to continue to provide the same level of care to homeless companion animals and offer them second chances in 2021, they need your help.
Wine 4 Paws helps ensure that Woods can continue to offer our community animals the highest level of care – it’s a win-win for everyone!
