ABOUT US

Creating a Meaningful Impact

Santa Paws is a biannual nonprofit dedicated to making sure that each and every animal in local shelters in the CNY area receives a gift in the form of donations. We take donations every July and December! Donations can come in the form of cash, check, or gift giving! Gifts can include lightly used towels and blankets, toys, food, treats, etc. 


Every animal deserves to be known and appreciated. This is even more so for animals residing in shelters looking for a place to call home. Until they find their forever home, they can still be doted on and loved to the max! From dogs to cats, hamsters and hedgehogs, or birds and lizards, they all deserve love and happiness!!!
