Celebrate the start of the giving season with Helping Paws and help create an even greater impact! Whether you donate for Give to the Max Day or before year-end, every contribution supports the arrival of new puppies before 2025.

On Give to the Max Day, Thursday, November 21, 2024, we are once again transforming Helping Paws into a winter wonderland, complete with photos with Santa. Click the button below to sign up. This event is open to the public, and non-Helping Paws dogs are welcome. All dogs must be vaccinated and socially well-behaved.

Your booking time is your arrival time, not an exact reservation, but it helps mitigate long waits for Santa. There may be a wait of up to 30 minutes after you arrive. Reservations guarantee you a spot; however, walk-ins are also welcome, and photos are taken once all reservations in that time period are complete. For shy dogs, we recommend reserving spots between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Please do not use retractable leashes. You will receive a numbered ticket upon arrival with a link to digital copies. Suggested donation: $25.

In May 2024, we launched our “More Dogs, More Impact” campaign with a bold goal: to triple the number of service dogs we place by 2027. To achieve this, we aim to raise $650,000, covering three years of expansion costs. So far, with tremendous support, we’ve raised over $350,000. As we anticipate more puppies before 2025, your support is crucial to ensure each puppy receives the best possible training and care. From now until December 31, we hope to challenge our community to help raise the remaining balance.

Special Matching Gift for New Donors

Helping Paws is honored to be selected for this year’s Eide Bailly’s ResourceFULLness Award, which will allow us to have a $5000 match for every dollar raised from new contributions between November 1 and December 31. This means your $5 gift will effectively become $10! We’re thrilled to show you the impact this will have on our “More Dogs, More Impact” Breeding Program Expansion!
