The Sweetpea Board of Directors is aware of scammers fraudulently using our EIN/Tax ID and address (1090 Pleasant St, Paxton, MA 01612) to solicit money online under the name Paw Haven. If you encounter ads or donation requests featuring our address but under any different name, please be aware that these are scams.

We have notified law enforcement and relevant regulatory agencies about this issue, as well as Facebook and several other sites. If you have sent money to someone that is misusing our address and EIN, please contact your local law enforcement and financial institution for assistance. The resources on this Federal Trade Commission website might also be helpful. We only operate under the name Sweetpea Friends of Rutland Animals.

Thank you to our supporters who contacted us after seeing the ads on Facebook and Instagram so that we could take immediate action. We are very grateful for your outreach and support.
