Y'all KNOW I love animals! My two favoritest are my beautiful baby boys. They're well taken care of -- they have plenty of food, water, toys and lots and lots of love. They're very lucky, even if they don't realize it.
Unfortunately, not all dogs are so lucky! When I read about the Santa Paws Drive on My Brown Newfies blog, I just knew I had to help in any way that I could. While neither of my boys came directly from a shelter, I've gotten past pets from there and will get future pets from there too.
Here's some info taken directly from their web page:
Santa Paws Drive is dedicated to helping shelter animals have a happy holiday season! These furry friends are often overlooked during the holidays, and it is our goal to make sure they get the love, attention and gifts that other pets are lucky enough to get. Please help us bring some joy today!
Now in our third year, Santa Paws Drive is the first "virtual toy drive" for pets! Donate either cash or gifts (the choice is yours!) and the Santa Paws elves will divide up the goodies and money and send them off to six shelters across the world! Our goal is $900 plus oodles of toys and treats for each shelter!
Check them out on facebook and twitter too! If you're poor like me but still want to help, post about it and spread the word. All the shelter pets will appreciate your help, in whatever form you provide it. Shelter pets deserve happiness too and what better way to bring it if you can't take one home today?

Great that you take care of your boys too
I read about this and think it is SO AMAZING. We definitely hope to participate.

Isn't it exciting about those English Chis?!!! If you haven't found their blog again, go to my post, they left a comment and you should be able to link up from there.
I'm glad you're helping to spread the word about something like this. Sometimes the animals get forgotten about, they need help too sometimes!
Thank you so much for helping spread the word about Santa Paws Drive! I'm one of the founding "elves" and we're so excited to be able to do this each year. We can't wait to send the doggies and kitties their presents this year - we hope it's the best year ever! They deserve it. :)
