SAN ANTONIO - As we get closer to Christmas, the ACS and the River City Cluster of Dog Shows made sure every single dog and cat in the shelter got a toy and some treats for being on Santa Paws' nice list. 

The group spent months collecting hundreds of items so the animals could have a gift in their kennels for Christmas. Each toy goes with its animal once the animal is adopted.

"It is special because some come from abused areas, some come from overstocking, puppy mills. It doesn't matter where they come from but they all need to be loved and put in good homes," said Margie O'Connell, a River City Cluster of Dog Shows board member. 

This is the sixth year the group has helped Santa Paws deliver toys and treats.
