⚠️ For the safety of our ER patients, only pets pre-registered for Santa portraits are allowed to attend the event. ⚠️

🐶🐱🐦🐹🐍 For Santa portraits, please bring only non-aggressive, well-socialized, non-venomous pets. Horses, livestock, pigs, primates, raptors, and venomous snakes or lizards are not permitted. Dogs must be on a leash, while other pets need to be in a carrier, cage, or enclosure. If you’d like Santa to hold your bird, it must be in a cage or unable to fly. All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations and be pre-registered for portraits. Have a question about your pet? Contact Heidi Brenegan at [email protected].
