Our community involvement is imperative to our mission - from hosting Hike for Hounds which has raised over $40,000 for pet rescue to hosting adoptions every May at our Mutts in May which has found homes for over 200 dogs & cats.  We also donate a portion of our food to local pet rescue as well as provide pet food for Mt Rose Ski Dogs to ensure they have ample energy to save lives on the mountain.

Santa (& Grinch) Pet Photos with Wine Tasting

Event Details:

• Date: Dec 14th, 2024

• Time: 12:00pm - 4:00pm

• Location: Natural Paws Pet Supply Store, 18136 Wedge Pkwy, Reno, NV

Bring your furry friends for an unforgettable photo session with Santa Claus (or Grinch)! Whether they’ve been naughty or nice, every pet will have the chance to pose with Santa or Grinch and take home an instant printed photo as a cherished holiday keepsake. Our photo booth will be on hand to capture the perfect moment, ensuring you have a festive memory of your pet this holiday season.

​

In addition to the Santa Pet Photos, guests can indulge in a curated wine tasting experience. Sample a selection of exquisite wines, from robust reds to crisp whites, and discover your new favorite vintage. The wine tasting is a perfect complement to the holiday festivities, offering a warm and enjoyable atmosphere for your pet photo experience.

This event is not just about celebrating the season but also about giving back. All proceeds from the Santa Pet Photos and wine tasting will go directly to Res-que, a local non-profit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned and neglected animals. By participating, you’ll be making a difference in the lives of pets in need and helping them find their forever homes.

Wag it Forward

Wag it Forward, originating from the widespread Pay it Forward, was designed to spread the wagging happiness of our beloved pooches and aid the community.  The first agenda within the Wag it Forward program involves helping local Reno families struggling to keep their pet(s) due to recent financial difficulties.  Wag it Forward will help feed families pets who are in need due to a recent job loss or illness in the family, or other family crisis.  Natural Paws owners, Lori & Rob Burks, state "The Reno community has been so supportive of our store and we want to pay it forward and give back to the community that has given us so much.  We love Reno and are so fortunate we are able to raise our daughter Sophie and grow our business within such a wonderful community.  Now it's our turn to help others."
