With your help from 2016-2023, Traci's Paws, Inc. has hosted over 1,000 military & veteran families or individuals and provided them with over $600,000 in gifts and funds to sponsor adoption fees!
Through Unleash the Holiday Cheer, we have saved over 150 pets' lives by sponsoring their adoption fees!
Thank you so much for being so supportive of keeping this wonderful tradition going at Unleash the Holiday Cheer!
Santa's Helpers will be there with gift bags and photos for kids, families, and pets!
Some of our families have been coming every year just for the family Santa photo!
Helping families
through sponsored
veterinary care!
Traci's Paws is dedicated to helping military & veteran individuals and families during the holidays when family budgets may be extra tight.
This year, we have decided to sponsor veterinary care for these families who may need help keeping their pets in their homes due to financial difficulty. With your donations and support, we can continue providing the resources and care necessary to help these families and their beloved pets. Join us in our efforts to impact the world, one animal at a time.
This year we are providing FREE entry for all!
We only ask for a donation of your preference to help us continue the work we do for our homeless pets and military and veteran community.
All Military Personnel and Veterans will need an ID/Paperwork to receive the FREE Christmas gifts and voucher for sponsored veterinary care with the San Diego Humane Society Community Vet Program.
Start time: 11:00 am
Military Appreciation GIFTS - We will have a "Military Appreciation Gift Shop" so you can pick out your own gift. Each member of the immediate family in attendance may pick his/her/their own gift out. 1 per person. Must have Military/Government ID!
Each year, we have had a musical guest perform, like Jerome Dean, a former Platter, who performed for the first two years, and in 2019, we had Jesse Labelle, who opened for Garth Brooks and played Stagecoach 2022, DJ Noel in 2021, and and DJ Track Star Staci on 2022.
