October 21, 2000 - The Best Friends' Distinguished Service to Animals Awards Dinner was held this evening, the last night of Utah’s Week for the Animals. We are honored to announce that CAWS was selected as the recipient of the 2000 Utah Animal Organization of the Year. Our thanks to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary for this very special honor. Our appreciation to Susan and Holly, who founded and lead CAWS, and to all of our volunteers, foster families, donors, adopters, participating veterinarians, and our talented volunteer webmaster, Bob DeLong. Together, these folks and their time, hard work, generosity, and compassion are CAWS and all that it does for animals in need.
