PAWS to Consider

The mission of the Paws to Consider Committee of the Rotary Club of San Jose is to facilitate initiatives and projects that promote the intersection between animals that need human help and humans in need of animal help. Projects may include but are not limited to advocating for animals, assisting local shelters with animal care, and partnering with other Rotary Committees and organizations to see how we may be able to work in concert, i.e. the Local Impact Committee. Our goal is to focus on both smaller, short term, one off projects as well as long term projects of greater scale.
