We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for our Santa Claws & Paws 2025 event at Danaher Animal Home. Your generosity, festive spirit, and support made this event truly magical for our animals and community alike.
A very special highlight this year was a visit from Santa himself, welcoming children, dogs, and even some adults into his grotto to receive presents and professional photographs. A huge shoutout to Dave at Pixels for Pleasure, our amazing photographer and elf for the day – we hope everyone has received their copy of these incredible keepsakes!
We are immensely grateful to all our staff and volunteers whose hard work and dedication ensured the day ran smoothly. From managing the donation point to helping families and furry friends enjoy the festivities, their efforts made all the difference. A massive thank you also goes to our festive stall holders. From beautiful gifts to Christmas crafts, as well as Danaher’s raffle, tombola, and craft stalls, there was plenty of festive cheer to enjoy. Your contributions helped make the event a true celebration of community and giving. We hope you enjoyed a mulled wine and mince pie (or two!!)
This year, we raised a staggering £3,500, with even more to come from the sale of Dave’s amazing photograph prints! But it wasn’t just about the donations, our animals were truly spoiled. Every stocking was filled to the brim with treats, toys, and food, and our donation point overflowed all day long, thanks to our tireless volunteers who kept it replenished in no time.
From all of us at Danaher Animal Home, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make a difference in the lives of the animals we care for. We can’t wait to see you at future events!
