JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – News4JAX is inviting the community to help make the holidays a little brighter for local pets through its first annual Santa Paws donation drive, happening Dec. 15–19, alongside Passion 4 Pets sponsor Dogtopia on Beach Boulevard.

The drive will collect items that support pets in need across the Jacksonville area. Donations can be dropped off at the Channel 4 studios or at Dogtopia on Beach Boulevard during normal business hours. News4JAX’s normal business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Dogtopia on Beach Boulevard is open 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

We encourage community members to drop off the following items:

The Santa Paws drive helps provide comfort and care to animals at local shelters and rescues during one of the busiest times of the year.

News4JAX encourages anyone able to contribute to stop by with a donation and help spread holiday cheer — one wagging tail at a time.
