nonprofit of the year GILROY spice of life awards It takes a dedicated and committed team to run an all volunteer non- profit orga- nization. Tail Waggers is the Nonprofit of the Year, not just because they’re so good at rescuing dogs, but also because their fun and engaging fundraisers bring people and dogs together to cre- ate a greater sense of community. With past and future activities such as a 5K Wagathon (with a portion donated to the Gilroy Garlic Festival Victims Relief Fund), South County TAIL WAGGERS Wags ‘n’ Wine at Guglielmo Winery, a Pet Photoshoot, Mardi Paws Bunco Night at Old City Hall in Gilroy, and Dog Yoga in the Park at House of Yoga in Morgan Hill, who wouldn’t have fun? Learn more on the Tail Waggers website (sctailwaggers.org), which is linked to Pet Finders and Adopt-a-Pet. Follow the organization on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
