Mission Statement:

To support and contribute to the community by offering quality, name brand
supplies to  accommodate customer needs: by hosting and supporting shows,
events, classes and contest: and by promoting Monroe as an artist and art
lover’s destination.
Why ART?

It’s FUN, helps you de-stress, allows you to make
new friends...
People who study the arts are taught to see better,
to envision, to persist, to be playful and learn from
mistakes, to make critical judgements and justify
such judgements.
The arts promote the idea that there is more than
one solution to a problem, or more than one answer
to a question. People with increased exposure to the
arts have a greater understanding and appreciation
of their culture, history and
environment.

Helping Paws Rescue Presents the 2008 Rags to Riches Silent Art Auction

Featuring Live Celtic Music!

It's time for our Rags to Riches event! Each year Helping Paws Rescue holds this event to raise
money for the animals in our foster program. Each year Georgia artists donate art to be on
display and auctioned at the event. Pieces range from hand-carved wooden pieces, black and
white photos, watercolors and so much more. The art gets better and better every year.

This is also our chance to dress up and enjoy the company of old and new friends. This year the
event will be held downtown at The Georgian, Athens, catered by Trumps. We will have light
appetizers and a cash bar (perfect time of the day for mimosas!) We are also excited to have
live Celtic Music during the auction. We encourage you to come out and support Helping Paws
Rescue, see some great art, mingle with friends and enjoy great food.

Read about Cassidy, She's one of the reasons why we support Helping Paws in every way we can.
Cassidy - Bio Updated 8/21/08
In the middle of June a brand new employee came walking in with a lame puppy in her hands. The puppy was laying limp and was uncontrollably peeing and
pooping (later we discovered was from the pain.) This employee saw this small puppy on Atlanta Hwy near the Pepsi plant just hit by a car.

This is another one of those stories that lets you see God's work in even the small things. This employee only worked for us about 1-week, just enough time to
bring this puppy into our lives and to basically save her life. Cassidy was rushed to Mars Hill Animal Hospital. It was discovered that one of her back legs was
crushed. Not just broken, but crushed so bad that she needed surgery to insert a pin. After a day at the hospital is was also discovered that she had 2 broken
ribs and due to the fluid in her lungs they would have to delay surgery until she was stable.

After a week and a half they successfully had surgery to place the pin in her leg. Mars Hill kept Cassidy with them for an additional two weeks so they could keep
a close eye on her. We are blessed that Dr. Gross gave us a substantial discount on everything. It was $1,000 for what would have normally been almost $4000.
They didn't even charge for her time with them. They are even going to spay her included in this amount. Thanks to our supporters Helping Paws Rescue had the
funds to take care of the surgery.

Cassidy is now here at Pawtropolis. Though she was quite terrified upon first arrival, she now loves the attention she gets from the staff. She is about 4-5
months old and will weigh less than 40lbs once full grown. She looks like she could be a scottie mix. She has black terrier hair, scruffy face and short little legs.
We are guessing that she probably has never had a home. She definitely didn't get the socialization she needed during her first months. This makes her very
nervous in new environments and nervous being handled. She just needs a home where they will be patient with her and continue to teach her and show her
new things.

Update: Cassidy is a tomboy with a heart of gold. She is highly intelligent and learned to sit, down and roll over within an hour. She loves to play and will give lots
of kisses. She  has all the puppy energy with some to spare, but when that is spent she is a true lap dog. She can be a bit sneaky at times and loves to steal
clothes and bring them into her crate. She loves other dogs, ignores cats, and thinks the sun rises and sets when you smile at her. After all she has been
through she is truly a happy girl that will steal your heart.
