HAWLEY, PA — The staff at Woodloch Pines recently raised money for Dessin Animal Shelter in Honesdale. In an attempt to save the shelter from closing, the staff at Woodloch raised over $1,500 in individual donations alone. On Thursday, September 4, Sarina Betz, Woodloch’s Executive and Human Resources Assistant, presented a donation to the shelter on behalf of the staff at the family resort.

The resort will host Com-PET-ition Weekend from October 3 to 5, which will feature pet-themed games and fundraising events such as dog basket amazing races, horseracing, cat hammock scavenger hunts, specialty-themed cake wars, and a petting zoo. There will also be a cook out and carnival on October 4, which local community members are welcome to attend for $25. Dessin will also bring animals to Woodloch to be adopted by guests and staff.
