Meet Brett

Brett is a freshman engineering student at Clemson University who has been away from his family's dog, Max, for a majority of the year. During his time away from home, he has missed his dog and is wanting to adopt or temporarily foster a dog for his sophomore year. One day, while walking on library bridge, Brett saw Tigers Lend a Paw with puppies and raising donations for Anderson County PAWS. He stopped at the table and was able to get information about adopting or fostering a dog. He also saw that he had the chance to win a gift card to his favorite restaurant, Outback, where all the proceeds go to helping the local animal shelter. Being generous, he purchased a sheet of tickets for $5 and hopes that he will win the giftcard.
Tigers Lend A Paw is able to provide information to Brett information about adopting a dog, and gave him the opportunity to generously donate to a local charity while providing the chance for him to win a gift card to a local restaurant.

Meet Dr. Sanders

Dr. Sanders has recently become the head veterinarian at Anderson County PAWS and desperately needs help raising money for resources and marketing to college students. She is unable to sell products at the shelter due to their lease agreement and does not have enough resources to consistently inform college students about their adoption and fostering programs. When she heard about Tigers Lend A PAW, she was excited because she was able to outsource fundraising and marketing while she is able to focus on saving animals. Tigers Lend A Paw does not charge her up front, but instead takes a percentage of the money raised to pay for the resources needed to fundraise and market. She believes that Tigers Lend A Paw provides a win-win business concept and is going to continue to work with them.

Meet Dan

Dan is a 54 year old business manager at the popular restaurant Blue Heron and is wanting his company to be involved in local charities. He is willing to donate a gift card to be raffled if his company can write it off for their taxes. In addition, he thinks it is great that his business will be advertised on Tigers Lend a Paw's website.
