Santa Pics for Paws
2025-11-22 10:00 - 12:30 | Dancer’s Workshop, 1221 N Horner Blvd, #B, Sanford, United States
We are back again for another great year of Santa Photos! Come with your pets in tow or just your family for a great professional photo, all benefiting Lending Paws a Hand Animal Rescue. We have had cats, dogs, and a pet snake all participate!
We want to make this event as safe and easy as possible for those with pets, including some that may not be normally good around other dogs/people! We have two separate areas for entry and exit. Please leave your pet in your car and sign in at the entrance on the right side of Dancers Workshop. Once we let you know we are ready, you’ll go in the building and take your picture and then exit on the other side of the building. This will allow for easy flow and then will also make it easier for those that have kids, dogs, cats, etc. that prefer not to be around others to enjoy pictures too!
We ask for a $15 donation for the pictures, which will be used to help animals in need associated with Lending Paws a Hand. Professional photos during the event will be emailed to you, so please make sure to include an accurate email to use.
