Abney Foundation Gives P.A.W.S. $100,000 for Dog Park

Anderson Observer

On Tuesday, the Abney Foundation donated $100,000 to Anderson County Pets are Worth Saving for a new, expanded dog park at the facility.

Anderson County Council approved the creation of a mechanism to receive donations for the facility earlier this month. 

The new facilty is expected to cost approximately $250,000, and is needed because P.A.W.S. has outgrown the current dog park setup with the influx of potential adopters and volunteers.

The Abney Foundation, established in 1957 by Susie Mathews Abney, is a private foundation located in Anderson, SC.

The mission of The Abney Foundation is to aid organizations that are operated exclusively for educational, religious, charitable, scientific, and literary purposes.
