Operation Santa Paws

A Season of Comfort, Kindness, and Hope

Operation Santa Paws is Spirit Cove’s annual holiday kindness campaign — an invitation to spread comfort, connection, and hope when it’s needed most.

This season, our National Newfoundland Therapy Team is reaching hearts in a new way through Comfort on Four Paws, a calming coloring book created to bring moments of peace to children and adults facing stress, illness, trauma, and loss.

There’s no one “right” way to participate — only an open invitation to join the pack.

Give Comfort for Free

Join Operation Santa Paws

Print our free gift cards and share them with anyone who could use a lift — a teacher, a first responder, a child, a caregiver, a retail worker, or a family having a hard season. 

Each card includes a QR code that unlocks a free download of Comfort on Four Paws — no cost, no catch, no expectations.

Sometimes the smallest gesture becomes the moment someone remembers they’re not alone.

🌲 Why We Do This

At Spirit Cove, we believe no one should heal alone.

Our therapy animals provide grounding, connection, and calm in moments when words fall short — and when our dogs can’t be everywhere, creative tools like Comfort on Four Paws help us extend that same sense of peace and presence.

Operation Santa Paws is about meeting people where they are — with kindness, dignity, and no barriers.
