Pet & Family Photos with Santa Today at Baltimore Humane Society

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, even for dogs and cats. 

Bring your pets and family today for photos with Santa at Baltimore Humane Society's annual Holiday Open House from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.  Lovely animal silhouettes will adorn the driveway as we welcome the public to this free event. Pets and families can come for photos with Santa, a Chanukah menorah, or a plain background that are printed on the spot.  Visit our adoptable pets, tour the shelter, listen to local school choruses, and enjoy sweets from our bake sale. 

The event is also a time when people can bring gifts to our adoptable animals.  There will be a Giving Tree dressed in photos of all our dogs, cats, and rabbits available for adoption.  Pick your favorite and read the back of the photo to see what your furry friend would like for the holidays.  Then come back another day with your gift. 

At 5 p.m. the Annual Lighting Ceremony begins when animal silhouettes along the drive shine their lights.  Each silhouette has been dedicated to a special furry or human friend in support of Baltimore Humane Society.
