While everyone at NWAS has a deep-seated passion for cars, their passions extend beyond the automotive world. PAWS (click here for link), whose motto is “people helping animals,” is a non profit organization that rehabilitates wildlife, shelters and adopts companion animals, and educates the public on how to make a better world for our furry friends. This year, Northwest Auto Salon was one of the main sponsors of the annual PAWSWalk fundraiser (click here for link). PAWSWalk was a gathering of hundreds of dog owners for a 5K walk in Seattle’s Magnuson Park. The total amount raised came close to $200,000! Not only was Northwest Auto Salon a sponsor this year though; Owner of NWAS, Ben A. was the highest single fund raiser! Congrats Ben and Bronx!

So after the walk was all finished they had a best trick competition and I was really impressed. This guy is balancing snacks on his nose and feet and then when she said to he flipped them up and ate them.
This dog obviously can fly so thats a pretty neat trick
Judges liking what they see
