Santa Paws

Don't miss this opportunity to have your family or pet's photo taken with Santa Paws during his visit to Silver City! No appointment is needed for photos with Santa and all the proceeds help support Puppy Dog Ranch's rescued dogs! This fundraising event will be held Saturday, December 1, from 10 to 4 and Sunday, December 2, from Noon to 4, during the Grant County Home Business Network's Christmas Boutique, being held at the Grant County Convention Center.

Photos will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis and while there, attendees can purchase delicious home-made foods like Posole', Menudo, Lasagna and baked goods from their Concession Booth or shop in their Re-Tail Booth filled with pet clothing, pet supplies, collars and leashes, cozy handmade fleece dog blankets, whimsical gifts and jewelry for dog lovers, their "tastefully tasteless" tee shirts and sweat shirts and a full line of dog related greeting cards – all priced at year-end savings. A $1 donation to help sponsor a homeless dog, allows you to hang a Guardian Angel ornament on PDR's "Tree of Life".

To ensure the safety of all attendees, all animals must be on a short leash, in a pet carrier, or be held. Holiday Photos Cards are $5 for a 4x6 digital print and $10 for a 4x6 cardboard framed print (mailed to you). Because Puppy Dog Ranch is a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity, your donations and purchases are tax deductible!

100% of the proceeds go to the vet care and feeding of Puppy Dog Ranch's 30 rescued dogs, their Community Pet Care Program and their Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (S.P.O.T.). Puppy Dog Ranch is run entirely by a handful of unpaid volunteers and their homeless dogs receive every penny raised! Please call Laurie West for more information, (575) 313-7232.
