It’s still more than a week away, but time slots are booking up quickly for the annual pet photos with Santa at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter.
Year after year, this has proven a popular event and a great fundraiser for Langley Animal Protection Society, said spokesperson Jenn Schroeder.
They will be hosting the Santa photos on Saturday, Dec. 11, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., but it’s by appointment only, Schroeder noted.
“The photos will be a minimum of $20 donation per [animal] visit,” she said, noting bookings are via email at info@lapsbc.ca or by calling 604-857-5055 ext. 210 or 225.
