2023 Holiday Drive

Rhode Island Pet Network's annual holiday drive embodies the spirit of community, and brightens the season for those who have had a difficult year. We support low-income pet owners, especially senior citizens, and assist local animal shelters and rescue organizations. 

Working with the Vintage Pet Rescue Community Outreach Team and other social service organizations, we'll be featuring pets in need on our Facebook throughout November and December, seeking "Santa Paws Sponsors" to fulfill their wish lists. Including a grocery gift certificate for the pet owner is also encouraged. We also warmly welcome general donations of dry and wet dog and cat food, litter, pet toys, cleaning products, and blankets.

We're pleased to announce that we will be supporting the following organizations with donations from our 2023 holiday drive: Almost Home Rescue, Exeter Animal Shelter, Pawtucket Animal Shelter, and West Warwick Angels Caring For Animals

You can drop off items between December 1st and December 15th at the following participating locations during their hours of operation:

- Sonya's Clothing (766 Oaklawn Ave, Cranston, RI 02920)
