Arctic Sammy's Healing Paws

Every Dog Matters

OUR DONATION PROGRAM

HEALING PAWS

Thousands of dogs are sitting in shelters right now, without a family of their own. Some of them have been abused and others just didn’t “fit in”. Numbers of shelter dogs and dogs in need is growing ever year. Being in love with our dog, we simply can not accept the fact of leaving them behind.

We started our Arctic Sammy Donations Program to be able to help out the amazing people running (often under-funded) rescues and shelters around the globe. The program is simple - we donate 1NZD for every purchase made here on arcticsammy.co.nz. To top it up, customers are now able to add a donation to their order as well! Together we can raise money which is urgently needed to help those that have been left behind. Every couple of months we choose a different rescue or shelter to receive the donation to make sure we cover as much ground as possible. Donations allow foundations and shelters to cover medical needs, supplies and to continue saving lives.

At the end of the day for us at Saving Hope “it’s all about the animals”.
