Avery Chauncey always had a passion for helping animals.  While volunteering at pet  rescues and  veterinary clinics, she dreamed of a career in animal welfare.

Regrettably, in 2020 she was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma cancer. Despite long hospital stays and all the other challenges that followed,  she continued to live out her passion of caring for animals in need.

Since then,  through her FB page  “Avery’s Pawsitive Change”  and the incredible generosity of family,  friends and the community, Avery was able to fundraise to support many causes.  Several of her favorites were sending over 4000 gift cards to animal shelters in all 50 states, buying food/supplies for pet rescues and placing a blessing box in our community, that continues to be filled weekly with free pet food.

Avery was also grateful to the “Make a Wish Foundation”, who provided me with a Mobile Pet Food Pantry, that allowed her to deliver food to shelters , food pantries  and other donation locations in our community.

At 14,  due to her support of animal rescues,  Avery was honored to receive the “Hero to Animals Award “ from PETA ,  the largest animal rights organization in the world.

Even though Avery continued to get treatments,  SHE KNEW,  she could do more to help pets fight their battle with hunger, all while she fought her own battle with cancer and in October 2023, Avery’s Pawsitive Change became an official 501(c)(3), non-profit charity.

We hope you’ll join our APC Family and help us make a difference, one pet at a time.

  Love and Thanks Always,
From Avery’s Pawsitive Change
