PAWS & Claus

Join PAWS for our 3rd Annual PAWS & Claus on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at Wood Foot Beer Co. and Pizza Kitchen in Fort Walton Beach!

​

Bring the family and celebrate the holiday season with a fun-filled afternoon featuring pictures with Santa, pet-friendly vendors, raffle items, adoptable animals, and more! It's a wonderful opportunity to get into the holiday spirit, meet local vendors, and support animals in need.

​

Best of all, this event is a fundraiser for PAWS, and all proceeds benefit the homeless animals in our care, helping provide the food, shelter, medical attention, and love they deserve.

​

Come celebrate the season, make some holiday memories, and help us make a difference for pets still waiting for their forever homes. We hope to see you there!
