PAW PRINTS THRIFT WINS BEST THRIFT STORE 2025

THANK YOU to our incredible community for your continued support—and for voting our very own Paw Prints Thrift Store in the Village of Oak Creek as the Best Thrift Store in Sedona Red Rock News’ Sedona’s Best 2025! We are honored by your recognition and so proud of the dedicated employees and volunteers who pour their hearts into keeping Paw Prints stocked, welcoming, and thriving every single day.

Paw Prints is not just a place to find great deals—it’s a place where shopping heals and saves lives. Every donation and purchase at Paw Prints Thrift Store and our sister store, Paw’s West, directly supports the Humane Society of Sedona’s mission to care for homeless, injured, and vulnerable cats, dogs, puppies and kittens in our community.

Did you know that your thrifting helps transform lives? Thanks to the support generated by our Thrift Stores, we’re able to provide shelter, medical care, and loving attention to nearly 800 pets each year. We also help hundreds more through rehoming programs, pet food assistance, and emergency veterinary care—all made possible by the revenue from your donations and purchases at our Thrift Stores.

Paw Prints began and continues today thanks to the dedication of volunteers who sort, clean, display, and greet shoppers and donors with kindness. If you’re a regular shopper or donor, you’ve likely met some of our incredible volunteers. At Paw Prints, our small but mighty team of volunteers gives nearly 2,000 hours of service annually, working alongside a handful of caring employees. Their efforts make every visit special—and every sale meaningful.

For over 30 years, local thrifting has been a vital part of our fundraising efforts to help animals. Since the opening of Paw Prints more than three decades ago our two Thrift Stores have become essential lifelines for the animals we serve. Their success is built on the generosity, creativity, and compassion of our community—and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We hope to see you soon at Paw Prints and Paw’s West—whether you’re hunting for treasures, donating gently used items, or simply stopping by to support the animals. Every item you give, every dollar you spend, helps us continue our life-saving work.

Together, we’re making a real difference—for pets, for people, and for the heart of Sedona. Thank you for helping us save lives, one thrifted treasure at a time.
