Fallston, MD (February 28, 2023) – The holiday spirit was alive and well in Harford County, thanks to the local couple that owns Bel Air’s Route 24 Ale House. For the last seven years Jason and Katie Davis challenge their fellow business owners to host an event to raise funds for the care and comfort of homeless animals at the Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC). Known collectively as Deck the Paws, 20 businesses raised $11,272.
“I want to extend my gratitude not just to Jason and Katie and all the generous businesses, but also to the folks who bought a raffle ticket, dropped their spare change in a donation jar, or bought a ticket to an event,” said Bob Citrullo, HSHC’s executive director. “Deck the Paws is a mighty example of what we can achieve if we all work together to make an impact.”
“Deck the Paws is such a great way for local businesses like ours to give back,” said Katie Davis. “Jason and I consider our pets to be family, and we do this every year so that other lucky families can experience the joy of pet adoption.”
