Santa Paws: A Small Morning That Meant Everything

Every December, when the rush of the holidays starts to take over, we pause.

We pause to remember why we do what we do.
We pause to give back.
And we pause to create space for something that feels simple, joyful, and deeply meaningful.

This year, we gathered once again at Flora Farms, surrounded by greenery, laughter, wagging tails, and the kind of holiday spirit that reminds you what this season is really about. Families arrived with their kids and dogs, some excited, some shy, some wearing reindeer headbands, and together we created Christmas memories that will last far beyond December.

Why We Do Santa Paws

At Eclectic Array, giving back isn’t a campaign, it’s part of who we are.

Santa Paws is an event we host every year to support local animal rescue organizations. It’s our way of combining community, creativity, and compassion. Christmas is a time for generosity, empathy, and love, and we believe those values should extend to animals who don’t have a voice but need our help the most.

This year, we partnered with Acre Dogs, an organization doing incredible work rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs in Los Cabos. Their dedication, heart, and hands-on approach inspire us deeply.

A Morning Full of Heart

The setup was simple.
A festive backdrop.
A Santa suit.
And a lot of dog love.

People donated toys, dog food, and supplies, and many also contributed monetarily. Together, as a community, we raised over $200 USD all of which went directly to support Acre Dogs and their mission.

But beyond the numbers, what truly mattered were the conversations, the smiles, the shared moments between people and their pets, and the collective decision to show up for a cause bigger than ourselves.

Community Is Everything

One of the most beautiful things about Santa Paws is seeing how our community responds. Locals, visitors, families, and friends came together not just to take a photo, but to be part of something meaningful.

This is why we believe so strongly in supporting local, local artisans, local makers, and local organizations that are actively transforming lives. When you choose to show up, donate, shop consciously, or simply share a moment, you become part of that impact.

    

Thank You

To everyone who joined us, donated, shared a smile, or brought their furry family member, thank you.

To Acre Dogs, thank you for trusting us and for the work you do every single day.

And to our team, who always show up with heart (and who even saved Christmas by stepping in as Santa when needed), thank you for making these moments possible.

Santa Paws reminds us that sometimes the smallest events carry the biggest meaning.

From all of us at Eclectic Array, thank you for being part of this season of giving.
We can’t wait to see you next year.

With love,
Faryn
