🎄🐾 3rd Annual Shelter Animal Christmas Gift Drive

It’s that time of year! 🎁 Each Christmas season, we join forces with our philanthropy, Pensacola Pawdi Gras and the incredible Pensacola community to bring joy to EVERY animal currently at the Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare . For each dog and cat, we provide a gift package filled with a new toy, a cozy fleece blanket, and their very own bag of treats. And this year, we want YOU to be part of the magic!

The best part? Volunteers join us at the shelter to personally deliver each gift, spreading holiday cheer and giving these sweet animals a little extra love and attention. Seeing their happiness and excitement is truly priceless and captures the spirit of the season.

🌟 How You Can Help 🌟

We’re collecting:

-Fleece blankets
-Plush dog or cat toys (no plastic or rope toys)
-Bags of dog or cat treats (no rawhides)

Stay tuned for drop-off locations, and mark your calendars! We’ll be delivering the gifts on Sunday, December 21st, from 12-3 PM. If you’d like to volunteer for this special day, please email us at [email protected].

Over the last 2 years, we have given over 700 animals their very own gifts, and that's because of our amazing community. 👏

Thank you, Pensacola animal lovers, for helping us make this holiday one to remember for these deserving pets. 💚🐶🐱
