GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. — A first-of-its-kind effort for Clay County Animal Services is taking shape alongside the construction of the county's new Animal Services building, giving residents and animal lovers a meaningful way to leave their mark—while supporting the future of animal care in Clay County.

As the new shelter continues to rise (read more here), Clay County leaders are inviting the public to become a part of its story through Paw-sitive Impacts, a permanent donor wall that will proudly reside in the building’s front lobby.

This one-of-a-kind display will honor individuals, families, organizations, businesses—and even cherished pets—through personalized engraved paw prints, each representing a generous contribution to the shelter. Every donation made through the Paw-sitive Impacts program will directly support the animal shelter.

Donation Levels

Paws of Thanks (Bronze Paw): $250
Paws of Honor (Silver Paw): $500
Paws of Fame (Gold Paw): $1,000

There are more sponsorship opportunities available! Please email claygrants@claycountygov.com to get started.

Whether you're memorializing a beloved pet, celebrating your family’s love of animals, or representing your organization, this is your chance to be part of something lasting—a symbol of compassion and community that will welcome every visitor for years to come.

The Paw-sitive Impacts donor wall will be unveiled at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new shelter, anticipated in late 2026.
