Bring Your Pet and Snap a Photo With Santa
Does your dog dream of a new toy?
Does your kitty yearn for some catnip?
Bring them to the AVHS Shelter or NWSNC and let them tell Santa Paws!
Photos With Paws Information
- Appointments will be made every 10 minutes for your pet’s photo taken with Santa Paws.
- Watch for the link to make an appointment for your Photo with Santa Paws experience.
- A $40 donation includes a holiday card, a photo from the session, plus digital photo files of 30-50 photos on a bone-shaped USB flash drive for your use. In a goodie bag, you will receive dog toys and treats (cats will receive cat toys and treats). A professional package worth $300.
- For $60 donation, you’ll receive the photo-print card, the digital photos, and a copy of the 2026 AVHS Pet Photo Calendar, featuring beautiful images of some of the pets in our community.
- Even if you don’t bring your pet to the event, you can purchase a calendar separately for $20.
Dogs must be on a leash, and cats and other pets must be in a carrier. The proceeds from this event provide care for AVHS's lost and homeless animals. Get your pet photos done early!
