The Vanderburgh Humane Society’s annual Pet Pictures with Santa are Friday through Sunday, November 1st-3rd. This year marks the 34th year for this holiday tradition sponsored by Pet Supplies Plus and  Hook’s Apothecary. VHS is the ORIGINAL Pet Pictures with Santa in Evansville, and still the best!
 Pet Pictures will take place at Washington Square Mall. All pets must be kept on a leash or in a carrier until the time of their photo. Pets should also be friendly and current on vaccinations. Times are as follows:
Friday, November 1st, 12 – 7 PM
Saturday, November 2nd, 10 AM – 5 PM
Sunday, November 3rd, 12 – 4 PM
For $25, participants receive two digital images for their own use. Photos may include more than one animal, and kids and adults are also welcome in photos! This is an excellent opportunity for a family Christmas card. Costumes are welcome, and rental holiday accessories for pets are available free of charge! Cash or check only, please.
Sunday is the busiest day. Attend Friday or Saturday to avoid longer wait times.
Both the photographer and the venue space at Washington Square Mall are donated. Therefore, the entire $25 fee will come to the animals of the VHS. Santa is also taking time out of his busy North Pole schedule and has volunteered to be at the mall on all three days! This is the same Santa who has done VHS photos for years!
The VHS was the first in the area to introduce Pet Pictures with Santa. Net proceeds average $8,000 a year. Typically, the 3-day event has hundreds of pet owners bringing pets of all types. Santa has been known to visit with not only dogs but cats, pocket pets, rabbits, chickens, snakes, pigs, even goats & horses! Funds raised from this event will help the VHS care for nearly 3,000 animals that are surrendered to the facility each year and provide low-cost spay/neuter services.
