40 Paws of Christmas

This Christmas, you can hold a little piece of a rescue story in your hands. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been gathering paw prints from the animals in the ARO clinic: 400 of them, each pressed by a real patient we’ve cared for. No stock images and no AI – these are real prints belonging to real animals who came to us in need and left with a second chance. Now, for the 40 days leading up to Christmas, we’d love for you to sponsor one.

Each paw is R100 to sponsor. We’ll email you a high-quality digital copy of it on a transparent background, so you can print it, frame it, pop it onto a card for someone you love, or simply keep it because it’s sweet. Every paw sponsored goes toward caring for animals who have no one else to turn to, and your print is a reminder that a real animal has been helped because of you. If you’d like to wear your support, we’re also creating merchandise featuring our paw prints, printed on demand just for you.

Our goal is to find a sponsor for every one of the 400 paws before Christmas. You can watch the count climb right here on this page as each paw is snapped up, while a matching display fills up in the ARO boardroom. Every paw is a little more proof of what a kind community can do. So, which paw will be yours?
