SECOND CHANCE SPONSORS…AND A SURPRISE!

New Gold Paw Sponsor

GloverIf you live and work in the Raleigh area, you’ve probably heard of a third-generation printing company: Glover Corporation…but you might not know all that Glover can do. While Glover can meet all your printing and large and small custom signage needs, did you know they also make an astonishing array of 3D and promotional products? From tap handles to flight trays, to other machined and dimensional custom-designed products, there’s a new motto in town: if you can put it on a wall, a floor, or a door, think Glover. As our newest Gold Paw sponsor, we’re excited to tell you more in the coming months about how this friend of the animals can help you realize your dreams—even the ones you didn’t know you had.
