* WHO IS NANCY RUBINO? - The Rubinos were 1 of 4 couples who saw a need for an animal rescue in Hancock County and founded P.A.W.S. 25 years ago. Nancy was the heart and soul of the organization, holding key roles including Executive Director, rescuing, fostering, adopting out animals, office management, grant writing, promoting animal welfare and responsible ownership, and starting an affordable spay/neuter transport program to help reduce pet over-population in Hancock County. Nancy's husband, Mike, promised to keep P.A.W.S. going after her death in 2019. This event is to honor Nancy and to continue her mission.
