A Helping Paw Humane Society raised a little over $400 at their March 21 "Dining for Paws" dinner fundraiser at the Wareham 99 Restaurant.

A Helping Paw Founder Chrissy Tomkiewicz thanked everybody, from the people who helped spread the word to the diners who attended the fundraiser, who helped make the event a success. "It was truly a combined effort of many that made this night such an amazing success," said Tomkiewicz. "With such a terrific response, it surely warmed our hearts knowing together we truly do make a difference for pets in need."
