It's looking A LOT like Christmas...and we love it!

The trees are up, the ornaments are hung, and the attempts at humor are being made on the Presents for Paws Facebook page. That's right. We are in the thick of the P4P season and we couldn't be more excited about it. We have trees and wreaths all over the STL Metro and they are beautiful. From table tops to 7.5 foot trees, we are beautifying the city with photos of the cutest adoptable dogs and cats around.

Here are a few of our trees/wreaths. Aren't they beautiful?

We've started picking up some donations from our locations although it's still a little slow. It usually picks up as it gets closer to Christmas so paws crossed that's what happens again this year. We're hoping for lots of donations for the dogs and cats of Stray Rescue, Gateway Pet Guardians, CARE STL, Five Acres Animal Shelter and PAPIN.

If you'd like to know where you can find a tree and/or drop off a donation, you can do so at the below locations.

You can also donate money via our Venmo at  http://www.venmo.com/Presents-For-Paws-STL

We also have an Amazon wish list for those who can't drop off. It will ship directly to us! Here it is:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2KK23ZLD6OOKA?ref_=wl_share

Thank you for all of the support and love. We appreciate it and so do the groups who benefit.

(Trying to) Walk In A Winter Wonderland

Who knew trees could grow in an elementary school gym? Certainly not us. We wish they'd grow right out of their storage containers all by themselves but so far we've had no luck.

We're going through our trees and wreaths, trying to figure out what we have, and if we have enough for this project of ours. Charlie Brown has definitely deposited a few of his trees around the gym but that's not slowing us down. We know how to spruce anything up---even an evergreen! (Oh how we love tree humor.)


If you know of a business/office/whatever that wants to "host" a tree or wreath, please contact us via this blog, Facebook, or email us at PresentsForPawsSTL@gmail.com and we will get you set up. We can use one of these trees fresh out of a school gymnasium (with a get-out-of school note, of course), or we can use your tree. Whatever works.  If you have a wreath or a tree you'd like to donate (6ft or shorter), we'd love that too.


Or just spread the news and share this blog and get the word out about this project. It helps so many animals and this year it will help Gateway Pet Guardians, Stray Rescue, CARE STL, Five Acres Animal Shelter, People and Pets in Need (PAPIN). These are deserving groups that could use exposure and donations from the trees.

Plus, we just really want each of these trees to find a home for the holidays---that home being a business hosting the tree to help Presents for Paws!

Day 4 of National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week---Five Acres Animal Shelter

National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week forges on and we continue to tip our caps to the men and women who save animals and bring them into the rescue world. Five Acres is exactly one of those groups. Their dedication to furbabies is obvious as soon as you see them interact with animals. We love it!

Five Acres Animal Shelter is the only no kill shelter in the St. Charles area. They provide the gift of hope, love, and compassionate care to orphaned animals while searching for their forever families.

In addition to sheltered care, Five Acres also operates the AniMeals program to help the community by providing pet food and supplies to low-income families. What a well-rounded group who helps both animals and people!

Looking for ways to volunteer or adopt? Check out https://www.fiveacresanimalshelter.org/

Day 3 of National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week---Stray Rescue of Saint Louis

Day 3 of National Animal Shelter And Rescue Appreciation Week just slid right by us. Woops! It was because we were busy doing so much appreciating that we didn't have time to post about our 3rd day's featured shelter...and that was a TRAVESTY! But we'll do that now.

This shelter is one that is synonymous with St. Louis and their work helping strays. But they do so much more than that too. Here's a little more info.

Stray Rescue is a local organization assisting stray animals with much-needed care when they have nowhere else to turn. They nurse medically fragile animals back to health, build their spirits and place them into adoptive homes, and give them a second lease on life.

Interested in giving back? Contact https://www.strayrescue.org/

Day 2 of National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week---Gateway Pet Guardians

It's Day 2 of NASARW or so we've started calling it because we're really sick of typing/saying it all out. However, what we're not sick of are these shelters and rescues who are doing everything they can to help dogs and cats in need (and maybe a bunny or two along the way).

Today's rescue is Gateway Pet Guardians, or GPG, as they're often known. They have a small shelter in Dogtown but recently purchased an old school in East St. Louis that they're transforming into a new shelter. How cool is that?

Gateway Pet Guardians strives to end homelessness for cats and dogs in the East St. Louis area. Not only does this organization focus on rescuing & rehabilitating strays, they partner with the community to bring much-needed pet support to the otherwise "resource desert" in order to keep pets with their people.

Interested in volunteering, fostering or adopting one of these cuties or one of their many others? Contact https://www.gatewaypets.org/

Celebrating National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week by not saying that long name all week long!

t's National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week and we at Presents for Paws are ALL about rescue and animal welfare. 

So all week we will be highlighting the groups that benefit this year from Presents for Paws. Forget who they are? <Drumroll please> In no particular order...

• Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment (CARE) of St. Louis
• Gateway Pet Guardians
• Stray Rescue of St. Louis
• https://www.fiveacresanimalshelter.org/
• People and Pets in Need (PAPIN)

Today we're featuring CARE STL, which is newer on the scene, but the staff and volunteers are seasoned rescuers who love what they do. They rescue dogs and cats but their hearts are so big that they've even rescued a few rabbits and gerbils along the way!

CARE STL provides open intake, no kill animal care for the City of St. Louis. They work to care for and rehabilitate companion animals so they can be match with their forever families- pairing animals and humans to better each other!  

They have specialty programs such as animal enrichment, animal hospice care, and youth development.

These are just some of the cuties looking for a new home with CARE STL. Check out their website at https://www.icarestl.org/ for many more snuggly friends and to find out more about this amazing group,
