How It All Began

The Angel Paws Holiday started as a simple idea born from the desire to make a difference in the lives of shelter animals during the festive period. The founders, Mary Johnson and Sarah Anderson, shared a deep love for animals and felt a calling to bring some holiday cheer to those pets who had yet to find their forever homes.

With their combined efforts and a few dedicated volunteers, they organized the first Angel Paws Holiday five years ago. The event was held at a local shelter, where they decorated the premises with twinkling lights, garlands, and ornaments, transforming it into a Christmas wonderland.

A Day of Pure Delight

On the day of the event, volunteers arrived at the shelter early in the morning to prepare for the festivities. They brought along donations such as food, blankets, toys, and treats, not just for the day but also to stock up the shelter for the coming weeks.

The excitement and anticipation were palpable as shelter dogs and cats watched the preparations with curious eyes and wagging tails. For them, this day promised to be extraordinary.

As visitors started pouring into the shelter, they were greeted by an overwhelming display of love and affection from the four-legged guests. Tail wags, sloppy kisses, and joyful barks filled the air, creating an atmosphere brimming with Christmas spirit.

Activities for All

The Angel Paws Holiday is designed to be an inclusive event that offers activities for people of all ages. From face painting to crafting ornaments, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Children, in particular, adore the chance to interact with the shelter animals, forming beautiful friendships that can last a lifetime.

For the adults, there are workshops where they can learn about pet care, adoption processes, and the importance of spaying and neutering. These sessions help raise awareness about responsible pet ownership and the dire need for more foster families and forever homes.

The Magic of Adoption

One of the most magical moments of the Angel Paws Holiday is when an animal finds their forever home. While the event is not primarily an adoption drive, many attendees are so moved by the love and loyalty shown by the shelter pets that they decide to give them a permanent place in their hearts and homes.

Shelter staff are carefully selected and present during the event to facilitate the adoption process. They conduct background checks, home visits, and ensure that the prospective owners understand the responsibilities that come with pet ownership.

A Tradition Worth Celebrating

Over the years, the Angel Paws Holiday has become a beloved tradition in the community. Families mark their calendars for this heartwarming event, making it a must-attend affair during the holiday season. It has garnered attention from local media and has even inspired similar initiatives in neighboring towns.

Everyone who participates in the Angel Paws Holiday agrees that there is something truly magical about the event. Whether it's witnessing a shy shelter dog blossom with newfound happiness or seeing the joy on a child's face as they cuddle a kitten, this celebration unquestionably captures the essence of the Christmas spirit.

Your Chance to Make a Difference

The Angel Paws Holiday is a testament to the power of love, compassion, and the indomitable human spirit. By supporting events like this, we have the opportunity to create lasting change in the lives of shelter animals, offering them the love and care they so desperately deserve.

Spirit may look like a Shetland Sheepdog, but everyone knows he's really a scaredy cat.

After being rescued from a city shelter by his forever family, Spirit finally discovers security. At least he knows his people are there for him. Yet, he’s still scared of just about everything, right down to the neighbor’s seven-pound lapdog. This autumn, he’s in for something new: a family vacation in the form of a road trip exploring British Columbia’s scenic wilderness.

A holiday turns into a nightmare for the Sheltie when a fresh panic sends him running for his life, only to find he has also run from the only people he can trust. Now, with snow falling and a terrifying world looming about him, Spirit must return to them . . . even if that means facing the impossible.

Stories in the Angel Paws and Angel Paws Holiday series celebrate the unique bond between canines and humans with heartfelt, moving, and insightful tales for anyone who has ever loved a dog.
