SEATTLE — One of Western Washington's biggest animal welfare fundraisers is happening on Saturday, Oct. 5.
PAWS Wild Night will be held at Fremont Studios in Seattle. It will feature a dinner, the Puppy Playground, a program, and a silent and live auction

PAWS (Progressive Animal Welfare Society) focuses on helping cats, dogs and wild animals "go home and thrive – whether home is the family room or the forest."
The nonprofit recently moved its wildlife operations to a new rehabilitation center to the City of Snohomish.
