Would you like to make a difference in the lives of local Rhode Islanders and pets? Support our 2023 Holiday Drive, on track to be bigger and better than ever! This is our seventh year supporting financially struggling pet owners, mostly senior citizens, as well as assisting local animal shelters and rescue organizations. The organizations receiving donations this year are Almost Home Rescue, Exeter Animal Shelter, Pawtucket Animal Shelter, and West Warwick Angels Caring For Animals.
Working with the Vintage Pet Rescue Community Outreach Team and other social service organizations, pets recently featured on our Facebook page are seeking "Santa Paws Sponsors" to fulfill their wish lists. Including a grocery gift certificate for the pet owner is also encouraged! We welcome general donations of dry and wet dog and cat food, litter, pet toys, cleaning products, and blankets.
Items may be dropped off through Friday, December 15th, at the following participating locations during their hours of operation:
- Sonya's Clothing (766 Oaklawn Ave, Cranston, RI 02920)
- Spill The Tea RI (in the Thrive Wellness Collaborative) (4372 Post Rd, East Greenwich, RI 02818)
- Home Loan Investment Bank, FSB at these three locations: 3808 Post Rd. Warwick, RI; 2381 Post Rd. Warwick, RI; 187 Wickenden St. Providence, RI
-Dog On It (183 Danielson Pike, North Scituate)
If you'd like to be a Santa Sponsor or make a corporate donation, please contact us. If you know a Rhode Islander with a pet in need, please reach out to us, too!
Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated and support our program as well as emergency vet bills throughout the year. You can donate here on our site and visit our Facebook page for up to date information.
Thank you for helping us embody the spirit of community and brighten the season for those who have had a difficult year!
