Happy Holidays from Lend A Paw


This holiday season was filled with more joy than usual, for some less fortunate individuals, thanks to our self-less Lend A Paw volunteers. More than 15 volunteer teams spent their time both before and on Christmas Day visiting with the mentally challenged, elderly, and homeless. These visits brought laughter and joy to those people who enjoyed every second they spent with our furry four-legged and smiling two-legged volunteers.

New Horizons Visit: Wednesday, December 21st
Audrey & Cali and Chellee & Lexi enjoyed spreading holiday cheer!


 LA Mission Holiday Block Party: Friday, December 23rd

Ash had a great time snuggling with all the kids who were waiting to see Santa.

We had 8 teams total for this visit.
Richard & Maddock, Jackee & Larceny,
and Jennifer & Lucy are pictured.
Our teams spent time with the children while they
waited to get their holiday meal.
Some families had been waiting since 6am!  
Gabi loved taking pictures with these children,
who weren't used to seeing a dog so well behaved.

The Gardens in Tarzana: Sunday, December 25th

Bailey, dressed as Santa, made sure to listen to everyone's wish list while he visited this past weekend. These folks were overjoyed to hear that Bailey thought they had all been very good this year.




We hope you enjoyed these photos from our visits, and that you have a wonderful end to 2011 and a bright new beginning for 2012!
