Santa Paws and his elves are hard at work preparing for the Oregon Coast Humane Society’s beloved PAWliday Store, opening November 1st at 1179 Bay Street, next to the OCHS Thrift Store. The store will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The PAWliday Store is fully stocked with vintage treasures, holiday décor, specialty items, and new gift selections, making it a one-stop holiday shopping destination. Holiday shoppers visiting on opening day may be greeted by one of Santa’s furry helpers, thanking them for purchases that support animals in need.
A Giving Tree will also be available for community members who wish to buy gifts for shelter dogs and cats.
OCHS is also planning Photos with Santa Paws and Mrs. Claws at two Florence locations. Both events run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Saturday, November 22nd at Florence Shipping Solutions
- Sunday, November 30th at Florence Mini Pet Mart
Photos will be taken by Stephanie Ford, with Dan and Teresa Lofy appearing as Santa Paws and Mrs. Claws.
The PAWliday Store is entirely volunteer-powered, and 100% of proceeds support the care of animals at OCHS.
Volunteer opportunities remain available, and donations of holiday and general merchandise are accepted year-round during regular Thrift Store hours. For more information, call 541-997-5705.
