PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Santa Paws has come to town!

The Oregon Humane Society kicked off the holiday season Saturday with its Santa Paws Pet Portraits at Mud Bay stores all over the Portland area. Folks brought in their dogs, cats, and other pets to pose for a picture with Santa.

This year, the event spans across two weekends, giving pets extra time to sit with Santa.

Pet owners can bring their furry friends in on Sunday, November 10, as well as next weekend, November 16-17, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. While all pets are welcome, their owners should bring them in on a leash, harness, or in a carrier.

Participating locations are listed online. All proceeds from the pet portraits benefit the animals at the Oregon Humane Society.
