Dog Pictures with Santa December 6 & the Grinch December 7 at Happy Dog Barkery!
The holiday season is almost here, and we have a way to celebrate than with a couple of fun photo opportunities —with Santa and/or the Grinch! Whether you want a picture-perfect moment with your dog, your whole family, or just yourself (yes, we welcome humans too!), we’ve got two days of fun coming up that you won’t want to miss, come for both and support two great organizations near and dear our Happy Dog hearts. No appointments necessary, dogs must be leashed, no retractable leashes please!
All species welcome as long as they are friendly and contained.

Feeling a little more “Howl the Grinch Stole Christmas”? Our Grinch is equal parts grouchy and lovable—perfect for a silly, spirited holiday photo. All species welcome (humans too!)
Who Can Join?
Absolutely anyone!

Dogs + humans
Just humans (we won’t judge!)
Cats or other animals (if they’ll pose!)
No appointment is needed—just stop by, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and take home a photo keepsake you’ll love. Both events will be held at Happy Dog Barkery with proceeds going to support rescue organizations that help dogs in need.
Why It Matters
Not only are these events a fun way to celebrate the season, but they also support local rescue groups doing incredible work. Your participation helps raise funds, awareness, and maybe even a few tails along the way.
Mark your calendars, gather your furry (or not-so-furry) family, and come join us for a weekend of holiday smiles, wagging tails, and festive cheer!
