Christmas Sponsor-A-Pet

Christmas is a time of giving, and we at Hand & Paw want to demonstrate that through this special program! During the Christmas season, we strive to provide not only critical food for pet families in need but go even further by blessing them with a special gift that is prepared specifically for their beloved pet. This is our largest event in terms of required planning, donation needs, and volunteer hours for a single event.   

Requirements to register as a recipient:

• The recipient is a loving pet owner unable to purchase items due to financial distress.

• Recipients must be 18 years of age or older.

• The recipient’s pet is for companionship only, not for breeding or illegal activities.

• The recipient may apply for a gift for 1 pet in their household.

• Understand that all pet food and supplies are donated and may not be the current brand you use to feed your pet, which may upset your pet’s stomach.

• Agree to not hold Hand & Paw, Inc., its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, or sponsors legally liable in the unfortunate event your pet becomes ill, has a reaction to the food, treats, toys, blankets, or any other portion of the gifts received because of any disclosed or undisclosed medical concern, if the food upsets a pet’s stomach, or causes any other harm. 

• Recipients agree not to resell, redistribute, or attempt to return to a store, any items received from Hand & Paw.

• Hand & Paw will make every effort to consider special requests, but are only able to give what is available at the time. 

Hand & Paw reserves the right to request proof of income/financial status before approving the registration request.

Should you violate any of the above requirements, Hand & Paw has the right to cease assistance without notice.
