ABOUT US

We are dog lovers helping dogs. Paws for the Cause is a Toronto-based organization that raises money for a different animal welfare organization every year. We also raise money to support an annual Paws for the Cause scholarship – The Chloe Award – given to a veterinary student at the University of Guelph.

2012 BENEFACTOR: CENTRAL TORONTO VETERINARY REFERRAL CLINIC


Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic

Home to DRS. Devon Boyd (surgery) and Michael Goldstein (internal medicine), CTVRC is a state-of-the-art, boutique, medicine and surgery referral hospital. CTVRC provides the highest quality of care and caters to the specific needs of each of our patients, clients and referring veterinarians.

Paws for the Cause will work with the CTVRC to subsidize a portion of surgery costs for owners who cannot afford life-saving surgeries for their pets.
