An annual tradition for families in the tri-state area!
The Vanderburgh Humane Society’s annual Pet Pictures with Santa are Saturday and Sunday, November 2nd & 3rd. This year marks the 38th for this holiday tradition sponsored by NFP and Hook’s Apothecary. VHS is the Tri-State’s original Pet Pictures with Santa in Evansville, and still the best!
Pet Pictures will take place at Washington Square Mall in the food court. All pets must be kept on a leash or in a carrier until the time of their photo. Times are as follows:
·Saturday, November 2nd, 10 AM - 6 PM
·Sunday, November 3rd, 11 AM - 4 PM
(don’t forget the time change!)
For $30, participants receive two digital images for their own use. Photos may include more than one animal, and kids and adults are also welcome in photos with or without pets! This is an excellent opportunity for a family Christmas card. Costumes are welcome, and rental holiday accessories for pets are available free of charge! Cash or check only please.
Both the photographer and the venue space at Washington Square Mall are donated. Therefore, the entire $30 fee will come to the animals of the VHS and all monies help local animals. Santa is taking time out of his busy North Pole schedule and has volunteered to be at the mall both days! This is the same popular, beloved Santa who has done VHS photos for many years.
The VHS was the first in the area to introduce Pet Pictures with Santa. Net proceeds average $8,000 a year. Typically hundreds of families attend, bringing pets & people of all types and ages. Santa has been known to visit with not only dogs but cats, rodents, chickens, snakes, pigs, even goats & horses! Funds raised from this event will help the VHS care for nearly 3,500 animals that are surrendered to the facility each year and provide low cost spay/neuter services.
