Chewy Claus Wish-A-Thon: Support Miami-Dade Animal Services and The Brady Hunter Foundation

Miami-Dade Animal Services (MDAS) is one of the largest and most impactful shelter systems in the country, working every day to ensure that pets in need receive lifesaving care, protection, and a path to a loving home. From rescuing abandoned and stray pets to providing vaccinations and licensing and supporting spay/neuter programs, MDAS is a vital hub of care for the animals of Miami-Dade County in Florida. Their mission—protecting pets, uplifting communities, and giving every dog and cat a chance to thrive—reflects the generosity at the heart of Chewy Claus.

The Brady Hunter Foundation (BHF) in North Miami Beach, Florida, created in honor of beloved dogs Brady and Hunter, is dedicated to animal advocacy, wildlife protection, environmental stewardship, and supporting communities in need. Guided by compassion and action, BHF champions initiatives that create safer, happier futures for animals everywhere.

Together, MDAS and BHF have formed a powerful partnership rooted in compassion and second chances. Through programs like Paw-ventures, they take long-stay and adoptable shelter dogs on uplifting enrichment outings—giving pets a break from the stress of kennel life, helping them shine for adopters, and reminding the community how much joy a shelter pet can bring. Their collaboration also extends to funding critical medical care for vulnerable pets locally and across the country, transforming countless lives through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.

Tonight, during the Chewy Claus Wish-A-Thon, MDAS and BHF bring that same spirit of hope and holiday magic to center stage—helping us spotlight pets who need a little extra love this season, and reminding us that when communities come together, every pet can feel the magic of being seen, supported, and celebrated. You can support their mission by donating to their Chewy Wish List.
