Celebrate Christmas with your family pets and benefit the Woodbury Police K9 fund.
Pet parents, get your furry family members’ picture taken with Mr. and Mrs. Claus through the Woodbury Police K9 Fund’s annual Photos with Santa event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on December 7. The event, hosted in partnership with Pet Evolution and Woodbury Picture Perfect, serves as a fundraiser for the K9 Fund. Started in 2017 by Rian Thiele, owner of Pet Evolution, the event has raised more than $22,000 over the past eight years.
A $20 donation is requested, and donations from this event support the acquisition and training of the dogs, plus new equipment and retirement care. The event primarily sees dogs of all sizes and cats, but rabbits and even a goose have joined in the past. All pets are welcome, says Alisa Rabin Bell, vice president of the K9 Fund.
“Photos with Santa is a cherished community event that supports the Woodbury Police K9 Fund,” she says. “It offers families and their pets a chance to create lasting memories while contributing to the resources our K9 officers need to serve and protect our city. We’re grateful for the community’s support in making this fundraiser a success.” Find more information at woodburyk9fund.org.
