Santa Paws

Santa Paws is an annual fundraising event for our local animal shelter, Heartland Humane Society.  Heartland Humane Society has a special place in our hearts, as that is where we found our dog almost 10 years ago.

Pet owners get to bring their pets to our local Earl May Garden Center which provides for a great backdrop for the event.  This year, Leslie Heemsbergen donated her time and photography talents to capture the animals with Santa.  Leslie has lots of experience photographing animals--click here to read more. The Photo Shop donates the photo processing and David Lowe donated his time to portray Santa.

Each 5 X 7 photo is a $10 donation to Heartland Humane Society.  Photos are available for pick-up three days after the event.  We can't wait to see ours!  

Photos can be reprinted, enlarged, and made into gifts or cards for an addition cost through The Photo Shop.

Santa Paws has become a tradition for our family with two of our family members being photographed with Santa.  And, it’s a great event to help other animals and reconnect with our friends at Heartland Humane Society.
