Humane Ohio's Pet Photos with Santa
TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 4, 2009 – Toledo area pets – naughty and nice – will have the chance to visit Santa this holiday season! Humane Ohio’s “Pet Photos with Santa” fundraiser will take place on Saturday, December 5th from 10 am – 2 pm at Pet Supplies “Plus” Central Ave. (6923 W. Central, Toledo 43617) and on Sunday, December 6th from 10 am – 5 pm at Pet Supplies “Plus” Alexis (849 W. Alexis, Toledo 43612). Freeze Frame Photos is donating their time to take the photos and Kohne Camera & Photo is donating the printing, allowing 100% of the proceeds to benefit Humane Ohio!
There are different photo packages to choose from:
$10 – two 5”x7”s and eight wallets
$20 – same as $10 package plus an additional eight wallets OR an 8”x10”
$25 – 24 cards and envelopes
Children and families photos are welcome too (with or without a pet). Photos will be taken on a first come, first serve basis. No appointments.
Proceeds will benefit Humane Ohio’s low-cost spay/neuter clinic which fixes 14,000 animals a year! Humane Ohio can offer low-cost spay/neuter prices to pet owners because, as a 501c3 non-profit organization, it receives private donations and grants – and holds fundraisers like “Pet Photos with Santa” – that help subsidize the true, higher cost of spay/neuter procedures and keep prices low for clients.
Humane Ohio also has a “wish list” available at www.humaneohio.org for anyone who wants to collect items and supplies for the organization this holiday season. People and organizations are also encouraged to hold pet food drives to benefit the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank, or to bring pet food donations when they come for Santa photos. The pet food bank is a partnership between Humane Ohio, Feed Your Neighbor Ministry (a program of the Toledo Area Ministries), Pet Supplies “Plus” and Petco to make pet food available to pet parents in need.
Humane Ohio operates a low-cost spay/neuter clinic to serve pet owners, stray/feral cat caretakers, animal shelters and rescue groups. Humane Ohio believes that all animals should receive the highest quality veterinary care possible. Their clinic uses state of the art instruments and equipment, all spay/neuter surgeries are performed by qualified, licensed vets (DVMs) and every patient receives a brief physical exam and quality pain medication. Humane Ohio spays/neuters at least 14,000 animals a year and runs the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank in partnership with Feed Your Neighbor Ministry, a program of the Toledo Area Ministries.
