Paws for a Cause Donation Event Held at The Ridge Pinehurst

Handmade dog treats and pet supplies are now in the paws of sheltered fur babies in Jefferson County. On Wednesday, June 23,

The Ridge Pinehurst hosted a Paws for a Cause event for residents and staff.

During the event, the community presented handmade dog beds, chew toys, dog biscuits, and a collection of old blankets, towels, and tennis balls to representatives from The Humane Society of The South Platte Valley. Local sheltered pets were also in attendance to enjoy the cuddles with residents and team members of the community.

“This donation is part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the greater community,” said Mandy Hampton, chief operating officer for The Ridge Senior Living. “This Paws for a Cause event promoted the active lifestyle of our residents and gave them the opportunity to connect with a new furry friend.”

Studies show adopting a pet can be a great way for seniors to keep active in mind and body, which is heavily promoted at The Ridge Pinehurst. The community has plans to continue its relationship with the organization and will enjoy on-site visits with the sheltered pets.
