SPCA brings Santa in for pet pictures
Dear Santa: Can I have a new chew toy, rawhide bones, a new ball, milk bones, bacon treats, cat nip and mice?
What does your pet want for Christmas? Find out by letting him or her sit on Santa's lap and put in a wish list with the jolly big man.
This Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., Photos with Santa will be taken for your pets at Cold Creek Nursery. The event is a fundraiser for the Aiken SPCA.
Photographer George Grieve will take photos of your pets with Santa among a festive holiday background. One 5x7 will be $20. Additional photos will be available for additional charges.
The fundraiser is of great importance to the SPCA.
"We are trying to do a lot for the spay/neuter services ... the programs funding the service is running out of money and there are many people who can't pay full price but so many people are stepping up to get their pets spayed and neutered. It really helps reduce the number of animals coming into our shelter and the county shelter. On average, $50 can pay for one animal to get fixed," said Gary Willoughby, executive cirector of the ASPCA.
The community has an opportunity to receive a holiday treasure while helping the animal over-population problem faced by shelters. No reservations are necessary, simply show up on Saturday with your pet and take home a holiday memory.
Cold Creek Nursery is located at 398 Hitchcock Parkway.
