Santa Claus is coming to town, and he wants to meet your pet! Hodges Community Center is hosting their 8th Annual Santa Paws on Saturday, December 3, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Bring your pet and get their picture taken with Santa. Bring the whole family and get in the picture for a complete “family” portrait. Photos are $5 each and include a holiday card. However, guests are welcome to bring their own camera. Prizes will be awarded every half hour for best-dressed pets. The first fifty families will receive a holiday treat bag for their pet. Admission is free. Dogs must be on leash at all times and have proof of current rabies vaccination.
City of Lubbock Animal Services will be available during this event to provide microchips for your dogs at a cost of $10 per dog (while supplies last). Micro-chipping is a permanent way to ensure that your pets can be identified should they ever become lost. To participate in this program, dog owners must reside within the city limits, bring exact change and show proof of rabies vaccination.
Hodges Community Center is located at 41st Street and University Avenue, and is open Monday-Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. For more information, call (806) 767-3706.
