Mission Statement
Santa Paws is an animal adoption festival held in Sydney's Centennial Park. Our mission is to shine a light on the challenges faced by homeless animals and inspire our community to take action. We offer a fun-filled day with activities for all ages, ultimately aiming to find loving forever homes for deserving rescue animals.
Our ultimate goal is to create a world where all animals are treated with compassion, respect, and dignity.
At the event, participants will be able to be a part of many fun activities such as dog shows, learning from a doggy behaviourist, Christmas photos with Santa, and so much more.
We want all to be able to celebrate the joy our pets bring us and will provide the opportunity to meet rescue dogs for adoption.
All funds raised will go to providing support to Animal Rescue which focuses on making a difference and ensuring
every pet gets the chance it deserves to be adopted.
