– Pets and people off all ages had a blast at the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley (HSSBV) Winter Wonderland Walk & Santa Paws Pet Photos presented by San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. Over $13,300 was raised to help animals in our community. This event, formerly Santa Paws Pet Photos & Holiday Boutique, had all of the fun of the regular photos with Santa, combined with everything you loved about the Spring Walk for the Animals and even more!


Participants took photos with Santa and were able to take photos with Santa and take their 5x7 prints home on the spot.  This event also included a large vendor village to kick off holiday shopping;; amazing raffles including tickets to Chris Stapleton provided by Hot 103.9; Christmas tree auction; free letters to Santa writing station; Pooch Play Area presented by Dances with Dogs Training Center; paw print ornaments; annual HSSBV pet supply sale; free carnations from Orange Blossom Florist; free pet bandanas from Subaru of San Bernardino; food and drinks, and so much more! 

 

The HSSBV hosted their annual Pet Contests, emceed by NBV4 reporter Tony Shin.  Celebrity guest judges, Jeff Pope from Hot 103.9, Pepper from K-FROG 95.1 and Ontario Reign mascot Kingston, judged categories including best-dressed pet, most holiday spirit and best trick.  A tie was awarded for the best trick category!


The HSSBV regularly scheduled Saturday Shot Clinic was also be open, and thanks to a generous donation from 24Pet, 200 pets (cats or dogs) were given free microchips (regularly $32).
