Trinidad, Colorado— November 18, 2019 — Today, Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association announced a collaboration with Santa “Paws” in hopes of helping shelter animals have a wonderful holiday season and the best of care for the years to come.
“We are over-the-moon excited to be working with Santa to bring hope and joy to the homeless pets of our animal shelter and within our community,” said Laurel Young, Executive Director at Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association. “Operation Santa Paws is a kind-hearted, cheery, animal-loving supply and donation drive… a unique holiday give-back effort that will help Noah’s Ark in continuing to assist the 1,600 cats, dogs, kittens and puppies we help each year.”
