"Paws For A Cause" was held at the Ottawa Metro Park. The event also promoted awareness on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. An informational booth was set up for pet owners to stop by and read how domestic violence affects the community, as well as numbers to call. Dogs were dressed up in a variety of costumes, from Lions to Dinosaurs, and even a dog with a top hat.
A Domestic Violence Awareness kick off event was held at the Lima Public Library on Thursday. Crossroads Crisis Center, which is the only domestic violence agency in Allen County, promoted the event. County officials were also in attendance for the kick off.
