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.
Santa Paws 2024 was an unforgettable celebration of love, community, and our shared passion for rescue animals. Over 2,000 animal lovers gathered at Centennial Parklands Dog Park for a day filled with joy, wagging tails, and festive spirit.
Our vibrant event featured 21 exciting stalls, including bespoke vendors, entertainment, and rescue agencies, all working together to support animals in need. Guests indulged in a variety of treats from 10 delicious food and beverage stalls, shopped at 14 unique bespoke stalls, and enjoyed live entertainment that kept the energy high throughout the day.
With incredible media support—15 outlets covering the event—the impact of Santa Paws 2024 reached far and wide. Most importantly, thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised an astounding $65,000, which is now being distributed to deserving animal charities.
Relive the magic through our Santa Paws 2024 photo gallery, capturing the joy, the paw-some costumes, and the heartwarming moments that made this event so special.
📅 Mark your calendars! Santa Paws returns on 16 November 2025 – same place, same heartwarming cause. Stay tuned for updates! 🐶❤️
