About Ozzie Tails of Hope:

Santa Paws is an animal adoption festival held in Sydney’s Centennial Park hosted by Ozzie Tails of Hope. It was created to raise awareness about the plight of homeless animals to a large audience and provide our community the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of rescue animals in need. 

Our ultimate goal is to create a world where all animals are treated with compassion, respect, and dignity.

All funds raised will go to providing support to animal rescue which focuses on making a difference and ensuring every pet gets the chance it deserves to be adopted.
