Get Ready, Get Set and Go … to any of the photo fundraisers. Tie a bow on the pup, then smile for the camera. It’s holiday pictures with Santa time, and you’ve got a lot of choices. At dogtrotting.net, we’re sticking close to home … otherwise we’d be researching the list into the New Year.

Here’s the list of Pet Holiday Photo Opportunities in South, Ontario, Canada:

The Hamilton Burlington SPCA is hosting eight ‘pet photos with Santa Paws’ this season. For a complete listing supporting this specific non-profit, check it out here. The Ottawa Humane Society has an equally complex schedule – find it here.

Also, PetSmart locations across Ontario are hosting four days of Santa Photo opportunities December 14, 15, 21 and 22, 2019 from noon to 4 pm (free) in stores. Find the schedule here.

 

Note: Most events listed are pet photos with Santa, so pets other than dogs might be present for photos. Please keep dogs closely leashed and cats (and others) in carriers until photo time. Some events are pets only and/or limit the number of pets in the photo.
