❤️ FREE PHOTOS, BIG HEARTS!
There's absolutely no charge for Santa Photos! Instead, we're kindly requesting a donation of unopened, unexpired people food or pet food to help our community this holiday season.
FOR THE HUMANS, WE'RE COLLECTING:
• Canned meats, tuna, and chicken
• Canned soups, vegetables, and other canned goods
• Peanut butter
• Pasta and rice
• Cereal and other nonperishable staples
• Manual (non-electric) can openers are also greatly appreciated!
FOR THE PETS:
We're collecting food for ALL kinds of pets! Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and more. If they're someone's beloved pet, we'd love to help feed them!
All pet food donations will benefit Concern for Animals, helping pets and the people who love them. People food donations will go toward helping local families in need.
📸 A LITTLE ABOUT THE PHOTOS
We'll have our festive Santa photo setup ready for your furry family members! Don't worry if your dog isn't exactly the sit-still-and-smile type. Santa has met plenty of enthusiastic pups over the years, and sometimes the goofy photos are the very best ones.
Santa Photos will take place in our Training Center! Look for the marked entrance closest to the main driveway. This is the building to the right as soon as you enter our driveway.
For everyone's safety, please wait outside the Training Center door until a Dogwoods team member comes to escort you in. We want to make sure each pup has their own space and photo session without any surprise four-legged visitors!
Thank you for helping us keep things safe, organized, and fun for everyone!
Photos will be shared digitally via Google Drive after the event so you can download and enjoy your favorites.
We can't wait to see our Dogwoods families, meet some new furry faces, and spread a little extra holiday cheer while helping our community!
